HC build - help a bit. (question to 1h cavalry)

[Dravic]

Hey all!

I am using following HC build for second generation already, and I like to use Elite Scimitar and slash sometimes from horseback.

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 7
Agility: 30
Hit points: 42
Converted: 4
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 2
Shield: 0
Athletics: 0
Riding: 10
Horse Archery: 5
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 10
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 190
Throwing: 1

What I am asking is:

Is it worth to get some 1h wpf to use Elite Scimitar from horseback? I must say that I wont change anything in atributes, it will always use 7/30 str/agi when I am playing HC, just a question about wpf - lets say I will take 100wpf as an addition to 2 ps - will i be able to slash three times in lets say 4-5 seconds?

Would be something like this:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 7
Agility: 30
Hit points: 42
Converted: 4
Ironflesh: 0
Power Strike: 2
Shield: 0
Athletics: 0
Riding: 10
Horse Archery: 5
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 10
One Handed: 100
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 1
Archery: 1
Crossbow: 176
Throwing: 1

BAD HC!
I was one of the first to try this build.
You don't need anywhere near that much agi!
Try this, it's what I use. Works wonders

I use that but with pole instead of 1h. Gonna be my build next gen
all the best, it's a very fun class

Shadap.

I've played my build for second gen already and it rox.

Guess what is the biggest (almost, almost only [except for riding speed]) advantage of HC? Possiblity to snipe at full speed on courser. Srsly, I didn't have to slow down before shot when I hit 30 lvl previous gen. At full speed on courser reticule was same as while standing still ;)

I just ask if few wpf in 1h is going to make difference, because if not, I am going for 190 crossbow wpf (!!!)

You must be really skilfull, to achieve good results with this horse-crossbowman, but have only 1 wpf in crossbows

As a 1h cav i can tell ya that wpf for 1h is worth every point, even when slashing from your horse. I can slash 3 people in 3 seconds with my 150ish wpf and my masterwork elite scimitar. Sarranid guard sword and sarranid cavalry sword are great also.

As a hyrbid, going for 100 wpf would probably be worth it in my opinion. Beyond that it might drain your crossbow wpf too much.
