Question about dedicated / mounted Throwing

Hello,

I'm currently trying to decide what i should do with my Character. I'm on lvl 29 with about 350k exp to go.
My Build is:
21 Strength
15 Agility

6 PS
7 PT
5 ATH
5 WM
3 Shield

Polearm: 57
Throwing: 138

I'm using Throwing Spears and Lances most of the time, usually 1-3  Lances.

Now my Question:
Would it be worth getting 3 Riding with my remaining 3 Skillpoints? Or should i just wait until i can retire and get more riding + HA next gen? It would even be enough for me if I could only use the secondary mode of the throwing lances properly, though i have no idea if 3 Riding, 6 PS and 57 Pole WPF and a Rouncey or Palfrey are enough for that.
If riding is not worth the points I might go for 1 PS and 2 IF or 1 PS and 2 Shield (more likely 2 Shield).

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
ObiWankejoshi

IIRC it was possible to couch with throwing lance in secondary mode. So, you'll have more chances to kill something with your lances on horseback. And yes, it's possible to kill with couch even with 1 wpf in pole.

On the other hand you'll be easy prey for any dedicated horseman. Think about 1-2 lances and 2 packs of throwing daggers. With your 7 PT daggers can help you to dismount enemy horsemans and not to worry about some misses.

IMHO rouncey is better choice. More health, more charge damage, balanced speed\maneuvrability, cheap, black. Disguise as peasant, mount and go battle, enemy will think that you are peasant with staff.

keep in mind that being mounted reduce you throwing damage and that mounted thrower don't get speed bonus for damage.

Alright, thanks  :D
I just got riding 3 and a Rouncey. I guess more ps/shield would have been more effective but this is a lot more fun  :o

Don't forget the accuracy sucks really, I have 2HA and 130wpf and it sucks while riding.
