I have just been couched twice in a row by heavy lancers and did not die.

I'm gonna play around a bit as 1H cav.
The damage difference at low to medium speed is huge. No glancing and more 1 hit kills.

Didn't know. Sounds like fun
Will try.

[Kafein]

Is there still a 2h with CT usable on horseback ?

[Inglorious]

Well, not by the great lance, but by the heavy lance. Seeing as I don't know a single player that is pure great lance on his main.

I am

I've changed my mind.

Lancing (atleast with heavy lance) is ridiculous now. I feel harmless and pathetic.
Sure I can still do well but it's getting annoying when the damage output is silly low.

Horse archers get away all the time from thrusts and couch lances that would prepatch one hit kill them.
Same with all light armoured ranged... But especially horse archers have it a lot easier now.

Playing as a lancer now is almost like playing a different game compared to how it was prepatch.
Regular lance is the only way to go now I guess (unless they nerf that one too).

Going horse archer feels quite tempting. Horse archers top the scoreboard on EU_1 all the time now.
I'll hit level 35 in 1,5 million xp. Then I'll just buy training lessons and go for this:

21/21

4 HA
7 PD
7 RI
7 WM
7 PS

- You only need 1wpf in polearm to be successful with lances.
- You only need 1wpf in 1H to be successful as 1H cav.

So I can still be lancer and 1H cav if I want (7 PS).

[Riddaren]

Or even better maybe:

21/21

7 IF
7 PD
7 AT
7 WM
4 RI

Foot archer with the ability to use a horse (low accuracy HA or lancer).
That will be OP.


Edit: 7 PD (not PS)
