Well, horse throwing is clearly underpowered and has always been afaik.
It's also a shame that you don't get speed bonus for throwing while riding towards the target.
IMO hitting someone with a throwing lance should 1 hit kill most of the time if hitting body or head (ofc), given it penetrates.

My horse (destrier) sometimes takes only 1/4 damage from throwing lances. That is wrong.
You do get a speed bonus now, it's capped at like 20% though as far as I know, and destriers have always been brokenly overpowered tanks and the gods of cav.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Oh, didn't know... that's cool but 20% seems way too little.
Good thing my destrier is +3. The only thing I don't have +3 is a helmet. The most overrated item in game.

Last class that needed a nerf in any way is throwers, still got hit by it.

GGS/DGS got nerfed, all axes and other stuff got buffed to compensate.

last time i saw you playing, it was with a buckler shierld  :P

Haha but my buckler blocks almost all arrows but no throwing. And i was actually talking about when i play with my kite shield / knightly heater shield...

By far not. +3 helmets are really useful, especially against pikes, average ranged weaponry and 1Hs. It also helps a lot against the players that always attacks your head, which goes for all melee weapons. Overrated, I think not. Underrated, yes.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.
