do you guys feel a difference between 6 and 7 riding?

[Torben]

yes no see poll also happy for comments.

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

Yes, with 7 riding my arabian warhorse feels like a 3+ desert horse.

[Miwiw]

5 -> 6 I felt near no difference, but that was also because of the horses.

6 -> 7 Yup I noticed some difference, desert horse felt much quicker as well as courser.

7 -> 8 Rather less difference to be honest... courser felt really quick

[rustyspoon]

Riding a +3 Arabian Warhorse is the best ever. Worth the investment just for that.

[F i n]

Rustyspoons! Everytime i see your Signature im laughing...

[Gurnisson]

Can feel a difference with each point to be honest.

I love 10 riding with a +3 arabian

[Rhekimos]

I only got it because my +3 arabian now required it. I was perfectly happy with 6.

I'm sure it gives some advantage but the difference isn't great. It's mostly felt when compared to riding a rouncey with 4 riding and then riding it with 7 riding.

[Haboe]

Can't say for 6 -> 7
But the difference between 6 on my cav alt, and 11 on my lol-alt makes a huge difference. 11 riding makes it feel as if your horse has a rocket up its ass.

hm,  does it now?

[Riddaren]

I suppose I could feel a difference.
But I have had 7 riding for quite some time now.

The choice of riding should be based on the choice of horse imo.
I don't see a reason going 24 agility just to get 8 riding, if not also taking 8 athletics or 8 WM.

This is a build I have considered for my level 35:

15/24

5 IF
5 PS
4 SH

I have had 8 riding once,  and directly compared it to leed with 6 riding.  my courser speed increase was not worth a mention,  the man buff was nice but not necessary iirc. 

had 6 agi most of the time,  but lately have 7 with 7 riding and athl,  and i do love it.  for my next build,  i am not sure if i want to loose that one point or not... 

its not about the arab for me,  i know its more effective but i like my courser.  so i guess my question is,  if  7 riding makes a dif over 6 when using a courser these days?...

It will give you a slight edge over other courser users.
But vs arabs and destriers you won't have much of a difference, since you can't outmaneuver them anyway, you depend on your speed there.

[Overdriven]

Champ arabian riders on 7 riding can almost keep up with my champ courser on 6 riding I've found. It takes a lot of acceleration before my top speed eventually over hauls them as they accelerate faster anyway. So you can really notice the difference between the 6 and 7 on champs. Once I got 7 riding it made the difference a lot more noticeable and I can always out run them now.

[Torben]

that seems true,  made a 9 riding stf and its very nice.  the champ arab with 9 riding doesnt even go into trott when going uphill in many occasions.
