lance angle, once more :D

[Mengil]

As it is now 1h cav have advantage against lancer cav, because you cant make any mistakes as lancer cav in an engagement.
They will try to slow down and turn to stop you, if that happens you are finished because their side swings will kill your horse in 1 or 2 hits.
Heavy Lance on the other hand is a joke, it should get a lower price or some stat buff.

realy? players like oberyn doent seem to be affected by lance angle limit. QQ more torben :p  nerff lances somehow (if that is still possible)

That isn't really an argument. Also ask Oberyn about what he thinks of the lance angle.

Oberyn rides this thing called a champion arabian warhorse, that thing got insane agility and is the only horse so agile it can turn enough to simulate native turn limits.

stop QQ is the only valid argument in crpg forums

after battlefield awareness of footsoldiers having increased a lot,
after 1 and 2h cav having gained the experience and skill to block down...

Hahahahaha

could we,  for the timeframe of one patch,  restore old lance angle and just see how it does these days?

This, indeed, would be a nice thing.

You know why? People who play native 'competetive' cant play horsemen in crpg because every time they do they lose some skill.

Fuckit... i was gonna be a smartass and go lancer/1h and tbh i regret ever putting points into polearm

1h cav is so much more fun then lancing

if you can ride an arabian its still a lot of fun.  or if you enjoy playing fighter pilot and going ninja courser.   the rest,  hm....

Yeah you need to be on a fast or agile horse for lancer cav to be worth it.  If you use a regular lance, then a destrier is fast enough to still do good damage.  Any armored horses and I'd recommend not using a lance.

I love using MW Lance on Champ Courser, a heavy lance would be good on a courser or arabian as well

I wouldn't recommend it either. Heavy horse + lance is a pretty bad combination, specially with only 5 riding.
But after 2 years playing with courser and arabian warhorse (both with shield and heavy lance) I wanted to try something new.

So since about 6 months I've been playing with strength builds using destrier or above without shield.
I've been riding the large warhorse and the mamluk for some months now. Both +3.
Yesterday I bought a +3 destrier. Damn it died easily (from ranged)... I was a bit chocked.

A shield really is a good thing to have on a lighter horse, that's for sure.
With a horse such as the mamluk, you can take lots of ranged hits if you take it slow and it rarely dies from a shot in the head unless there is a speed bonus.

By the way, I'm using a 27/15 build.
