Horse Archer

looks like a fun build,
seems like it would be good at harassing infantry with the higher pd
if there is a good HA on you should probobly dismount.
when fighting you i usually had more trouble with you when you were dismounted when i was playing HA.

Agreed, though whether that's a build issue or just a general lack of ability on my part is debatable 

Idea for hard hitting HA, keep in mind i have never tried this build yet.
21/18
7pd
7riding
6wm
3HA
with 3 HA you have to slow down before long range shots
fast moving shots will usually be against cav so you need to be close
7riding should enable to to keep at a close range long enough to make some shots.
for melee use pierce damage weapon. morning star on horse, bec on foot.
 

This would be very interesting to try out. I can imagine the hitting power with fully heirloomed bow/arrows and 7 pd would be pretty incredible. Sadly my HA is only halfway through 30 to his first retire

can't really go wrong with that build poophammer, it's the gold standard in HA builds
I do more WM less riding but 20wpf shouldnt make too much diff
with your horse at champ your manouver should be enough to avoid most cav and the light cav will die easy to 5pd arrows with your heirloomed bow.

My cataphract is only at spirited now but next heirloom when i have riding skill I will champ it.

That gear will eat through gold fast, which is much of why i have been alternating between HA and other char types. I am starting to heirloom some cheaper gear now so i should be able to play sustainable yet effective HA soon.

Lol Murchad, 20 wpf no difference? You should know better. Theres a pretty big difference between 156 and 176 wpf. I say take 1 off riding and put it into WM for even more accuracy.

Actually my aim is dead on and my horses are riding fast also murchad, my gold stock normally stays at 150k-160k even when I clown around in full plate on a plated charger or mamluk doing HA

This build looks like Santa build

gold really isn't a problem with me either, my problem is im a miser.
I have 700k right now but i am still really careful to use inexpensive gear.
when i said 20wpf shouldnt make much diff I meant as far as viability. i meant that he should be able to do well with 150
I am keeping with my 8wm build as i like the extra speed and accuracy from the wpf
but poop is more of a cav player so the extra horse speed my help him more.

Well, i can suggest u with 2 builds: 1 pure HA and 1 with wich u can have power strike and wpp in melee:
pure HA:
Attributes:
STR: 15    Agi: 24
PD:5 WPP:174
HA:4 WP:8
Riding:8
Converted: 6

HA build with melee skills
Attributes:
STR: 15    Agi: 24
PD:5 WPP in archery :170  WPP in melee (polearm, 2h, 1 h...): 51
HA:4 Wm:8     PS: 3
Riding: 6
Converted: 6

And IMo the best bow to use as HA with this build is khergit, especially heiloomed.  Having a masterwork kerghit bow i love the speed with 5 pd.

I always retire at level 31 so i convert 8 so my build is same as last one minus the ps
I also use masterwork khergit but would like to try masterworked strong for comparison
I would also like to try masterworked nomad to see if it is viable
