Any polearm with pierce thurst can rear now (discussion)

[AntiBlitz]

People use armoured horses because upkeep is irrelevant and they are straight up better than the lighter ones. This doesn't mean the unarmoured ones are bad, far from it. I really do not see why people think cavalry should be better than infantry in strategus just because they are cavalry? cavalry should just be another class, like melee and ranged so if you are an average player (you are) you should be aiming for 1:1 kdr as cav. Good players can do much better on rounceys than that, so don't complain.

i missed everything you had to say because all your points you make have to be about "good" players vs "bad" players, which is an irrelevant statement and shouldnt even be brought up.

Stay classy Canary. Complaining about the bickering then going on saying that cav is nothing more than holding w.

I went and read the rest of the thread before editing that in, at least. Also, you're addressing what I said with the wrong implication.

Just seems like there are three groups of thought here:

1) Non-cavalry players
2) Not-shit-cavalry
3)

someone using an item and playstyle that literally allows them to kill people by pressing W

welp typical thread, baddies in full plate telling everyone how easy it is, everyone else stating it either needs nerfed or is fine.  typical thread, cav will forever be in the past.  idk what logic tells you that the cav which was balanced in like 2011 still jives well with the balance of 2014.

Huseby, nothing will ever come of these threads involving cav.  Now if we were talking about archery, well fuck that changes everything.

Let's give it a try for some time. We haven't had any decent strat battles yet and we are not likely to have those with cavalry at all, at least for this month.


Shorter weapons are probably similar to very long weapons with their timing difficultiness. It should be a bit easier to cause them to glance. Maybe the rearing length could be changed to 131+ or something but it is still too early to speak. All you discuss here sounds like theory and imaginary. This behaviour is very common in forum so I felt like reminding it: experiment, play and do trainings first; then have an opinion on it.

Saracen Guard Armor is not full plate.  And even if you were wearing full plate you wouldn't come close to touching a 6:1 kdr. 

Stay bad.

100+ length to rear...that does seem a bit much


I have a polearm infantry/cavalry right now and it's much easier to play polearm than any other class, why buff Polearms even more? 

[Tydeus]

why buff Polearms even more? 

Err... They did just lose a .5 second mobility stun from every singly hit.

I think 135+ would have been a good start too (before going down to 130 length).  If they made it 135+ length could rear (instead of what it used to be, 141) that would still allow 3 more weapons to rear.  (Spear, Military Fork, and Long Bardiche)

Basically I think going from 141+ lengths to 120+ (all polearms with a pierce stab) was too drastic.

I agree, bec is a little to short etc.
