Arabian WarHorses

[Aderyn]

Arabian Warhorse
hit points: 100
body armor: 10
difficulty: 7
speed: 41
maneuver: 48
charge: 20

I'm not sure how to fix this horse but at the moment it's waaaaaaay too overpowered when you use a xbow on an arabian.

I feel the problem is the maneuvrability.

Ideas?

Shoot 1-3 arrows in it
Watch it die
???

[Overdriven]

Not to mention it requires 7 riding.

Swith to EU for less horse xbow

do you have any idea how hard it is to hit an arabian that can do 45 degreeturns instantly?

[Spanish]

Sigh the only thing it has is it's maneuverability and the only reason it seems fast is because we have to get 7 damned riding instantly making us an agi build unless we sacrifice a lot of points just to get to 6 ps. It's costs more than the courser has less armor than both of the light horses less speed and requires more riding, less charge and until recently had less health. Really it's only benifit is its maneuverbility otherwise their is no reason to ride this horse.

It doesn't need a nerf.  Requiring 7 riding is a huge hit because you need 21 agility.  I think it may be a little too maneuverable (only because my speed on the courser is negated by their turn radius and their acceleration), but that's just me being biased.  They should be able to out-maneuver a fast courser.

If you have an issue with horse crossbow it doesn't mean the arabian should be nerfed.  It's that the crossbows are so accurate from horseback.  That and there is no "bob" effect when riding a horse.  Whether using a lance or bow or crossbow, you should be bobbing up and down with each gallop.

lots of Hospitaller are lame trolls eh?

[CrazyCracka420]

You're talking about the OP?  I'm hospitaller as well and you see me disagreeing with him.  Same with Spanish he's disagreeing as well.  It's not like we all think and agree about every piece of equipment the same, we're all individuals playing together in a faction.

Requiring 7 riding is a huge hit because you need 21 agility. 

Huge hit was 24 agility for cataphract and 30 agility for mamluke\plated charger.  At the times when grass was greener horses was balanced better.

GK makes shitty cav...I could say stupid crap like that all day saying your entire clan sucks but I've never fought any of you or seen you guys play so how would I know? Same thing here you shouldnt go around accusing an entire clan of being lame trolls when Aderyn is tired of being shot by Xbow cav he can't shoot back at. And as for Lemmy idk what got into him.

Back to the topic horse Xbow shouldnt nerf the horse since that nerfs everyone who uses it and as it is most NA cav prefer the destrier and the courser due to the high riding and fragility of the Arabian

[rustyspoon]

Arabian is a good horse, but doesn't need to be nerfed. As soon as the rider makes 1 mistake on the Arabian...bye bye horsey.

Archers just need to focus on thoses damn horses when they come near.
It's really frustrating to shoot all the enemy's horses twice (or 4 times for destrier) and see all your teammates archer "dueling" other archers, and getting couched/lance while using their sad tunnel-vision... by a "near-death" horse.

Constant vigilance !

Most players would rather have high scores then kill a bunch of horses. If I spend my time going horse hunting, I barely break even with my K/D, but if I go people hunting, it is rather easy for me to be in the top 5 of my team in a packed server.
Thinking of the average player, which seems more attractive?

[Bulzur]

Well, average player should use an xbow, and shoot an horse. Bigger target, easier to hit. No tunnel vision, because you can look around while reloading, etc...

But arabian Warhorse are definitely not op.
