Driving a courser is like driving a speedboat. It goes fast in a straight line but every turn you make takes a huge radius.

I ride neither a Courser nor a Destrier. My horsey is better than a Sarranid and pretty cheap to maintain.

The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17)

How do you figure a Steppe is in any way better than a Sarranid? The only stat it has higher than the Sarranid is 4 more armor...

Keyarna was my Heavy Cataphract pre-patch. She never died.

But then Fasader the Grinch took all our heirlooms.

Either way, I'd recommend the Courser, Bull. The speed bonus makes it deadly when I stab the living bejesus out of horses, and Destriers might take a couple gos, but the Coursers speed bonus, as you put it, "seals the deal."

I've raged more than once at your surprise stabs from around a corner, Dextaa. If it's possible, my artificial horse has adapted itself to avoiding you at all damned costs.

Protip! The "S" key slows you down :D

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound snarky. Just you'd be surprised how many cav don't realize how much tighter their turns can be if they'd just slow a bit after making a pass.

So true, I always slowed down with my Courser when turning, it was so cool. Maybe I'll roll cav again.  :)
