So I decided to do something new for me and instead of the usual 7 points in IF I decided to put a few of them in riding.
So here I am with 5 riding, 145 wpf in 1h and 7 PS.
I've been trying for 2 days now and I can't seem to get any better than 1:1 or less. And that's mostly because I die 4-6 times before actually getting a kill from horseback and the missing kills are made when I get dehorsed and fight in melee.
I seem to die a lot from (random?) headshots, missing swings by an inch or other stuff noob cavs do (getting stuck in trees/fences/pikes/lances from oberyn/2h swords/grass/enemies).
Now, what do I need to do/know/practise to be a good 1h/cav?
What's the advantage of an 1h/cav over polearm/cav (if there is any)?
Weapons/Horsie? I now use SCS/Heater shield and a steppe horse. Will most likely go for sarranid horse when I can buy one.
