I am personally going to try this loadout and the build below, or maybe another someone posts

Armour-
Helmet: Undecided
Body: Lordly Light Kuyak
Gloves: Lordly Mail gauntlets
Boots: Splinted leather greaves

Horses-
Champion Cataphract
Champion Rouncey
Spirited Courser
(Hopefully a Champion Sumpter some time)

Light Crossbow
Masterwork Steel Bolts (2 slots of them)

The build

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 21
Agility: 18
Hit points: 56
Unused skill points: 1 (Thinking on putting at least one into shield, though I am not a huge fan of shields at all)
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 0
Athletics: 0
Riding: 6
Horse Archery: 3
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 6
One Handed: 90
Two Handed: 1

Any thoughts on my loadout here? It looks good in my head but I am not sure how this will work out on paper, also willing to hear out other builds from people

Perfect horse xbowman build is:

    Strength: 7
    Agility: 30

    Skills to attributes: 4

    Ironflesh: 2
    Riding: 10
    Horse Archery: 5
    Weapon Master: 10

    Crossbow: 190

That's it.

I think his build beats yours, Poophammer

[POOPHAMMER]

I am going for range and melee lol

10 riding means you can't always get what you want

The most fun build I've played so far would have to be

(click to show/hide)

STR:9
AGI:27

PS: 2
Athletics: 9
Riding: 9
HA:4
WM: 9

Weapons:
Light Xbow
Steel Bolts x 1
Practice lance
Courser

Courser is nice for hit and run shots, especially when you need to get away from enemy HA to reload. Practice lance is great for dashing in on unsuspecting targets, that and the lol factor. Doesn't matter if you're on foot or on horse, you're gonna be able to get some distance between yourself and the enemy.

I have 7/30 build and it works well, 5 HA and people raging about your build is awesome.

My friend did build with 18 agi and 3 ha. You can hit with crossbow with it but it will not be very accurate in full speed.

[Magikarp]

Sorry mate, but like others said, Horse Crossbowman is only viable if you go 7 str/rest agi.

A good Xbower build is any dead xbower....

[Digglez]

you'd be better off just going pure 1h cav..and ride a real horse, not a pony

[POOPHAMMER]

You guys must be on crack im 15/15 right now and this build is working perfectly fine

That looks good too, but I love to be able to kill things with my melee in one hit most of the time from a horse, HA 3 with an xbow isnt that bad at all.

With the extra riding, and a fast horse, 1 shotting is still possible with 5 PS. Remember: 1h don't have a penalty on horseback, and the speed bonus is incredible.

Let me know how your build turns out though. My experience with a HA hybrid were very disappointing. I hope yours fairs better.

Well this is how i am doing at 15/15

Kills   44
Deaths   85

I imagine by 21/18 it should start to look a lot better
