best onehanded cavalry weapon?

[Glyph]

what is the best onehanded cavalry weapon?
i'd like to be onehanded cavalry but don't know what weapon i should pick.

thanks in advance,

Elite Scimitar, Sarranid Cavalry Sword.

These two.

not the morningstar or longsword?
because i see a lot of people use those too.

[Dravic]

Mornigstar and Longsword are both weaker. First, length. Morningstar is really short, Longsword a bit longer than Sarranid Cavalry. Dmg is nerfed by 30% (these are 2h weapons), same speed. So they both are slower...

[Glyph]

and what about twohanders?

[Dravic]

Both Morningstar and Longsword are twohanders.

All twohanders when used 1hand lose -30% to dmg and speed.

That's why I don't see the point of using 2hander from horseback.

Some twohanders can be used with a shield (like Longsword, Morningstar)

As far as I know (but I may be wrong), if you use i.e. Longsword on horseback with a shield, it loses more than 30% of dmg and speed (may be something like 45%).

But i am not sure about bolded part.

ok thx for replying

Granted, using the 2h from horseback means you'll probably have a nice speed bonus to counter-act the damage loss most of the time. Really just the speed that I don't like.

welp... I use the tempered side sword.. lol but i'm a noob... It does some pretty epic damage. I also use the steel pick from time to time just for the bonus pierce and the... unbelieveable damage.

heavy bastard sword is excellent when used one handed on high wpf and mounted ((:

SCS is the superior one, but pick the one you like the looks of, and fits your character. 

[Armbrust_Schtze]

whats the csc?

[Spawny]

Saranid Cavalry Sword

BTW, bastard weapons user on horseback without a shield have their regular 2h stats ofc.
The loss in damage with a shield can be made up for by the speedbonusses. The slow swing makes timing waaier. You have a longer window of opportunity to hit.

Yes, generally longer weapons work better on cav IMO. Easier to hit with and a tad safer.
