Lancer cavalry build. To glory!

[EliteDragon]

I find that when you try to hybrid a 1H/2H with Cav, it usualy hurts a bit since you need more WPF in Polearm than the others. I would just recommend going Cav/Polearm and carry maybe a Bec or something. Maybe try...

Level 30
* Strength: 15
* Agility: 24

* Converted: 8
* PowerStrike: 5
* Athletics: 2
* Riding: 8
* Weapon Master: 8
* Polearm: 173

I'm going to resurrect this topic, because I will go cav next gen.

This is the build I found out:

(click to show/hide)

    Strength: 18
    Agility: 18
    Hit points: 53

    Converted: 2
    Ironflesh: 0
    Power Strike: 6
    Shield: 5
    Athletics: 6
    Riding: 6
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 0
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 6

    One Handed: 55
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 150
    Archery: 1
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

Maybe with that 55 WPF I could do some basic shield/1h job, or it won't be useful at all?

Honestly I think 1h with shield takes the *most* wpf to be effective, whereas Polearm takes much less wpf to be effective.

My latest build (and my most satisfying build!) is an 18/18 Lancer +1h shield hybrid. I'm having a LOT of fun with it, I can fight pretty well on foot, I can move around quickly, and it's easy to top scoreboards once you get on horseback (Pro-Tip: Killing squishy peasants from horseback makes you look better on the scoreboard!).

I find it is very effective both on foot and on horseback.

Strength: 18
Agility: 18
Converted: 2
Power Strike: 6
Shield: 5
Athletics: 6 (High athletics and high riding ensures you are fast on foot and horse - you can outmanuver almost everyone, especially other horsemen)
Riding: 6
Weapon Master: 6
One Handed: 135 (135 is plenty fast for 1h + shield in my opinion. You could always roll some of these points into polearm, too, if you want to be a littler faster on that stab. Never go under 100 wpf in 1h though - you need to be fast for 1h to work, or else you could get outspammed.)
Polearm: 96 (I chose to use polearm mostly just for the lance, while relying on 1h for foot combat. You don't need *too* much polearm for lances, since most of your damage comes from your speed)

Hmm.. Guess I'll roll pure Polearms then.

Too bad, that shield would be useful though for fighting.

[Stokes]

Honestly if you're just wanting to go lancer, don't worry too much about polearm wpf. If you want to use polearms on foot though too, then sure, but more points into polearm. Also, if you only really wanna use 1h from horseback or use it as a secondary skill, you could easily get away with 50-100 wpf, it's just not ideal. For a primary weapon I'd say 110+, though.

Just edited my post a bit too :O

I'm mostly a polearm user, but who knows, maybe I'll buy some OP 1h weapon for low wpf use.

They are fast anyway.

Don't be a side-sworder! Italian sword and timing is all you need! (Especially if you got the athletics to manuever!)

Side Sword? lol Never.
Those Huscarl+SS abusers disgust me.

Thought about something that actually looks like a sword, and has style.
