What you going to heirloom?

[Gristle]

Unless we have fewer than what our generations should have:

Gen 8

Masterwork Military Cleaver (as I had before)
Masterwork Crossbow (as I had way back)
Reinforced Heavy Heater Shield

Glad I never sold the old Crossbow after the last big patch and heirloom theft. It's come full circle I suppose. No matter how many nerfs they throw at me, I will continue to be Crossbow and Sword & Board. It's funny, actually. By forcing me to switch from my almost unique Heavy Board Shield to a Heavy Heater Shield, I've received a strong boost in attack speed. Of course, I'll keep my board shields for the day the devs stop hating on them again.

Shields and horses heirlooms are going to be scaled down to couple with the new weapon loom modifiers.

Says who??

Anyways i sure hope so since horses and shields and xbows where untouched by the loom change armor also...

Only makes sense that chadz also nerfs them like he did with weapons

[Dravic]

Im not sure Tzar you know about it, but:

armors got only one stat increased with heirlooming: armor.

And it is +1 for clothes/heirloom and +2 for armors/heirloom.

How do you want to actually nerf clothes heirlooming? +0 for clothes/heirloom? and +1 for armors? are you mad?

[Gristle]

Tsar seems to think the only way to make things better is to make everything worse.

I want to heirloom a horse on my cav character, but I can't really decide which one. I'll have 5 looms.
On regular basis, I use the rouncey, because it's cheap. But it's not that bad, mostly with 8 riding, and a champion rouncey would be as good as a courser.
But the champion courser is just crazy, even if I use this one a lot less, because of the upkeep.
Still, could choose not to loom a weapon, and loom to champion courser and spirited rouncey, but not sure it's really worth it.

Any advice from experienced cav players ?

[Reinhardt]

I want to get that one too for my first 1h cav gen, I take it it's recommendable then!

The King uses it, of course it is!

Torn between heirlooming my Steppe Horse again or going for an Arabian Warhorse. Not sure which one i'll pick this time... it's tempting to go for the more expensive option and go on foot more often.

But for me first a champion horse, then a masterwork sword and then armor or shield... not sure. Been using steel shield a bit, because of the slot system. So i might not heirloom my huscarl this time.

[Spawny]

I have 7 heirlooms and thought I was going to heirloom to get a MW knightly arming sword and a MP shield.
Decided I'm not going to heirloom a shield. Doesn't make a whole lot of difference since the heavy board shield is allready VERY hard to break as it is and it would make using any other shield a bit of a waste.

So instead I'm going to get a lordly heraldic mail with surcoat and thick mail gauntlets to accompany my MW knightly arming sword.

On my thrower I'm going to heirloom my throwing lance, just so I can kill Casimir with it.

[tankmen]

im going to heirloom my horse(hank) again back to champion, then my knightly arming sword to master work due to 1h and being better for cav. Then my heavy lance and sniper xbow to master work, and heirloom my transitional once, maybe twice if i retire b4 the heirloom points come out.

[Astinus]

WHAT? where did you get that info?

It's nothing of confirmed, but probably horse looms will gain more hp and armor and less speed and manouvrability.
Shilds will just gain a bit less hp and resistence than now, their looms are clearly broken

[Immolarian]

My bec again I think.

[Fluffy_Muffin]

Lordly gauntlets
MW Highland claymore

I had a MW danish and i liked it alot, but i think ill go claymore this time for cutting power and style

Yeah I have to choose between steppe and arabian. I think the arabian will be nerfed, cmp said something about looking into it. but it will be ages until next patch anyway.

[Gorath]

Warcleaver
Military Cleaver
X-bow (regular 1-slotter)
Steel Bolts
Swiss Halbard

[Phazey]

It's a very, very difficult choice.

On the one side, i can probably afford an Arabian Warhorse without losing too much money, especially if i keep retiring (i make 20-50 profit in the lower levels).
On the other side, when strategus comes back, i'm guessing having a Champion Steppe Horse might be more valuable than having a Champion Arabian Warhorse. Wild guess though. I was thinking in strategus, the Steppe Horse is going to be the preferred horse, because it's pretty good and only half the price of the arabian.
But i could be totally wrong.
