Class you dislike fighting the most?

[Phazey]

Cav as one class? What were you thinking, tears. 

I enjoy fighting cav. I dislike fighting HA, for obvious reasons.

[oohillac]

As hoplite, I hate fighting other polearms.  They usually have every advantage over me (particularly length of weapon).

As Horse Archer, I dislike Horse Crossbowmen (I voted "Crossbows"), who have every advantage but attack speed.  Even that slight advantage is nullified by their easier aiming and greater maneuverability.

For the Horse Archer haters, try levelling one.  It is the most painful cRPG experience you will ever face.

Cav as one class? What were you thinking, tears. 

I was thinking that if I included everything, people's eyes might glaze over and skip the poll, though it might have been better if I made two threads, one for EU and one for NA. 

This is a pretty lazy poll, my apologies.

[Leshma]

This is a pretty lazy poll, my apologies.

Why you apologize to Phazh? I hate fighting him when he's mounted. Obvious abuse of game mechanics, two shields on horse...

And dismounted he uses Elite Scimitar... luckily I figured out how to fight that weapon, had huge troubles before.

Phazh is a good man but as a player (I'm talking about playstyle not Strategus or whatever), Phazh = Kinngrimm. Both are smart players, but I would never go that far in exploiting obvious flaws of this mod.

f a g c h e r s (only the ones that run away and shoot back like pusscakes) and cavalshit

As a HX I should have voted none... 

But when I'm 2h on foot, I voted for shielder and polearm.

You, and many people it seems, don't understand the true ISO standardised and uniformed class separation RFC 5656213 :

HA and HX are subgroups of archers and xbowmen, they aren't cav !

Therefore I call this poll bullshit. Cav would be much lower if HA and HX weren't missing.

[Prpavi]

Was pissed by running kiting ranged my old friends and shotgunnig Xbowers. too much of them on the servers.

Still am, nothing has changed. Oh wait the game is slower now and i glance on peasants weeeeee.

Mod is alive!

[Tindel]

Add maulers as an option,  they are special....

[BlueKnight]

2hander, because mauls break the game.

sure... great maul should be stopped by archer's hammer... Why shouldn't your slow, unbalanced and very fucking heavy weapon that slows you down crush through block. reveal that to me. If horses have 0 leg armour because it's "realistic" but lance can be blocked by simple downblock or fist-chamber then why shouldn't great maul crush through... the maulers are slow and have small range. You can easily run away or outrange them. Stop the rage about them. Their crush through is actually the only benefit and a reason why they are maulers.

As a 2H cut/blunt...

HA/HX are just annoying.  You don't really "fight" them, they just run from you and you can't catch them on foot.  And they don't ever seem to be that effective other than being the last one alive in Battle.  In Siege they don't amount to shit.

Other 2Hers who have the lolstab animation, just because they can always outrange me with the stab.  But that's on me - I just have to be more aware of what I'm fighting.  The spinstab is annoying as shit tho.

Anyone that abuses the jump glitch alot (where you swing right thru their body when they jump-spin).

Stealth-from-behind-Cav.  Of course you don't really "fight" them either.  They just couch you from behind and you never hear them coming.  Other than that, Cav are not that annoying imo.

Spamitar/shielders are probably the most annoying for me.  Either that or 1h hammer/shielders, but of the two spamitars are worse.

High-Agi polearms with either spears, awlpikes, becs, or halberd types are a pain 1v1.  That godam 1-inch turn/spin stab is huge BS.  Plus the polestun & hiltslashing.  This coming from someone who has also been polearms for 2 Gens.
Pikers/lancers are a pain in a group, impossible to block other melee plus a piker who can hit you from a mile away through their own team.  Also the fact that they can stab you through doors, gates and around corners = winsauce.

Archers, Xbow, Throwers are annoying mostly because I get hit by enemy as well as 'friendly' range usually right when I'm in the middle of a good melee fight.  Other than that I can expect to get hit by them when I'm in the open or going up ladders/ramps.  But then other times I sneak up on them from the side or behind - so we come out in a wash there.

Friendly cav, of course you don't fight them, but they're annoying due to trying to KS and end up bowling you over just before you make that last killing blow, or of course all the friendly horsebumps that take off any variety of %'s of life depending on how hard they hit you.

1 vote for Crossbow 1 for Cav because Crossbow Cav.

So, basically, anything/everything that kills you.

Mounted Crossbowman

Really, these are the only consistently exploited builds. They are un-fun to fight, unrealistic, and just poo-poo.
