Low riding skill

[Commodore_Axephante]

I don't like that at all...

I'd suggest this for level 30:

    Strength: 24
    Agility: 15
    Hit points: 59

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Power Strike: 8
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 5
    Weapon Master: 5

And this at level 33:

    Strength: 27
    Agility: 15
    Hit points: 66

    Skills to attributes: 8

    Ironflesh: 2
    Power Strike: 9
    Athletics: 5
    Riding: 5
    Weapon Master: 5

All WPF into 2h

Alternatively you could go with 3 WM and the rest into IF, or 0 WM and all IF, but I prefer to use offensive skills (WM and WPF) rather than passive/defensive skills (IF).  I prefer to go with the approach of "not getting hit" versus trying to tank hits.

So clearly what you're saying here is that I've under-invested in Athletics? Other than that we're on the same page, I'm just getting to it (-athletics) 2 levels quicker.

Yes athletics is awesome and important for moving around the battle field.  Also you don't want to be useless in strategus sieges (with 1 athletics you will be) then I'd suggest picking up athletics

Alright man, you're my north star.

EDIT: By the way I think you merced in a NA battle last night and killed me a few times, no? Nice to meet you face to face

At least once that I saw (can't always check who I'm killing though) was surprised to see you wearing armor.  But I can understand that if you're a merc for someone else's army, you should use the equipment they have provided

Nice to meet you as well

Don't understand why everyone was bashing 3 riding earlier in the thread. The rouncey is badass.

Also, back in KUTT siege days we would spawn on rounceys just to get to the castle walls 4 times faster than standard strength build infantry. Worked wonders.

Agreed, 3 riding is fine on the rouncey.  You have to play different than 6 riding on a courser, but if you play within your skill set (and don't try to go head to head against destriers, coursers, and arabians in the middle of an open plain with no chance of getting back to your infantry) you'll be fine.

If you really do want to switch to two handed cav, the build crazycracka posted is pretty good. You'd have to respec though, since your strength is already past 24.

Already lvl 29, so this would be (sigh) next gen.

Gen 2 for life!

The reason I don't like 3 riding is that 5 riding is just much, much better. You can use almost any horse (except 3), and with low riding you're tied to rouncey...
I fully support 24-15 and 27-15 builds CrazyCracka420 stated.

Ive had fun in the past putting 3 riding points on my arbalest build. With a horse you can get up to some great, otherwise inaccessible roofs to shoot from...

So you're that mother fucker

I remember trying to race to the same spot and stop you from getting to the rooftops in some maps
