Lancer cav

[Jack1]

I personally think lancer cav needs an unnerf....

Lancer cav is supposed to 1 shot basically anything..... But it can't...

I personally think that cav is becoming a disadvantage for the fact that it takes 2-5 hits(depending on the build) to get a kill and if you get hit once, your done.


Just my thought.

but then you would be able to kill 2handers, and c-rpg is lore friendly to 2handers only.


and hoplites

2h isn't OP IMO, just be an archer... It's the hoplites that are OP

[LordRichrich]

2h isn't OP?
Lancers should be able to one shot everything?

If less people would post while smoking crack, that would also be great.

[Jack1]

In my opinion 2h isn't OP. and that yes, lancer should be able to 1 hit

Well why exactly shouldn't lancer be buffed?

[LordRichrich]

Well why exactly shouldn't lancer be buffed?

What other class can routinely 1-hit ppl? Str melee builds, mainly 2h. Even then it's hit and miss. I had a 30/9 build that didn't often, and even Fip's 30/15 build doesn't always 1-hit me. Fully loomed arbas can also, but low rate of fire etc etc

So you give a class with the highest maneuverability the ability to 1-hit people aswell? Lancer cav hits so damn MANY ppl in a round, they'd be racking up atleast a dozen kills a round.

Hell, I'm a lancer cav and I don't want this!

Again: 

If less people would post while smoking crack, that would also be great.

Only the heavy lance needs a buff, not the other lances

[Jack1]

I never said anything but my opinions. I just don't believe it's right that lancer cav have to hit low armored people twice and plated people about 5 times to kill them. While getting 1 hit like its nothing.

It's neither historically accurate or physically accurate.

[Dooz]

I'm pretty sure historical or realistic accuracy wasn't the intent with the nerf, just gameplay considerations more like it. It is weird stabbing a naked dude with a heavy lance from horseback and not having them die, but I guess it's better than..... the alternative? Cavalry were the dominant power on a medieval battlefield, but in a game there are balancing considerations to keep in mind. I don't mind, you can still support and do your thing and take on other cav.

[Ptolemy]

While you can still stab-bump-turn-stab-bump-turn-repeat until enemy is dead on an arabian, lancers do not need to be buffed.

[LordRichrich]

Remove he Arabian, then buff lancer cav. At least cav use OTHER horses nowadays, if you re-buff lances they'll go back to the go-cart.
Also, balance over realism, else we'll all get fucked by the peasant crossbows and pikes.

[Hobb]

at low speeds cav is fine, was overpowerd to 1 shot while trotting through the enemy, carefully maneuvering by pikes and infantry remotely paying attention. But it is kind of annoying having to stab naked people and super light armored people going so fast that 1 rock will 1 shot you if you get hit, and having to stab them 2-3 times at full speed. Even worse, is if your not at full speed with the heavy lance, it is correctly mocked as the heavy glance.

I do thank the devs for the challenge, but i wouldn't mind some speed bonus love, or just faster horses.

[Jack1]

I agree that the Arabian needs nerfing couse it's BS.....
