No need for polearm wpf.

Break chance for weapons used with less than 100 wpf are considerably higher if I recall correctly. Since I don't want to go broke from bringing a lance, I thought I'd take some polearm wpf.

It's good. If you want to be light cav, this is a good light cav build.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

You do have a good light cav build, but I like this for the courser because I'm a speed nut.

I'd recommend 5-6 athletics and 4-5 shield skill. Also about 100 polearm and the rest 1h WPF.

I'd say get 1 or 2 more shield, a Rouncey, knightly heater / elite cavalry shield and a longer one handed sword, maybe Nordic Champions, Arabian Cavalry or Knightly arming. Also, you don't need that much athletics and I would recommend 2 or so ironflesh, I know it doesn't do very much and it is kinda noob but it helps.

You'd get broke beforehand from using an horse, not a valid excuse.  :wink:

IRC if you have «melee» wpf, it works with any kind of melee weapon (in application to break chance only).  So you can have 126 in 1H, and it will count as 126 wpf in polearm.

It does? Would love to have some confirmation on that.

if i have 156 in archery, it will come as 156 in one handed?

For melee weapons highest melee skill is chosen, so for example using a long spear with 1 polearm wpf while having 120 wpf in two handed uses the 120 wpf for breaking. For ranged this kind of mechanic isn't in effect, and bow breaking chance in determined by archery wpf etc.


Taken from game mechanic megathread, look at 'Maintenance'

Sweet, guess the polearm wpf isn't really needed then.

A slower heavy lance actually makes it easier to lance with.

Haha, yep. Seems weird though.

The only problem you'll have is with last second lancing. You will be too slow for that.
