Cav build w/heavy lance

[Goat_Fighter]

Wondering what a good cav build would be with heavy lance and I would want to know what horse to use that's good but under 20k

[Torben]

the courser is a fine horse for a heavy lance build. its speed combined with 7-8ps can do a nice amount of damage,  also you can stay away from horsearchers and roam the battle field as you please.

cant you check into some clan and use their armory?

everything from 18/18 upward works like a charm.  the more ps the merrier

Alright so ill go 18/18 now I just need the wm,ath,ps, etc for the build?

max that shit.  18/18 is a lvl 30 build,  up to you if you want to have shieldskill or if.

Like Torben said, the heavy lance is perfect to use with the courser.
If you just want to play the build one gen, you should take a solid lancer build without athletics.
I would go with 21/18 7ps 6ri 6wm and 4 shield.

[Goat_Fighter]

Alright so 21/18 7 ps 6 ride 6wm 4 shield?

[Gurnisson]

Alright so 21/18 7 ps 6 ride 6wm 4 shield?

That makes you helpless on the ground even at level 30. Go for 18/18 first time around, I'd say.

[Goat_Fighter]

alright then what skill points should I have wm,ath,ride, etc or should I keep the same ones as if I was 21/18

That makes you helpless on the ground even at level 30. Go for 18/18 first time around, I'd say.

I'm normally a big fan of high athletics but for a dedicated horseman you can go with 0 athletics.

While it's true you are at a big disadvantage on ground when alone, you are definately not helpless.
With a shield you can just hold it up and walk back to your teamates.
Without a shield it's a bit harder but usually you just need to make a couple of successful manual blocks to reach your teamates.
Having 1 extra PS helps killing, so swing away, you might get one or two.

When on horseback, the most important thing is to make sure you have teamates nearby if you lose your horse.
Don't ride away and fight where there are no teamates unless your horse have most of it's hitpoints left.

Some of my best scores today (0 athletics):

219 32/3
118 20/3
136 19/4 - nice score by TomMyyY

My build:
Level 33 21/21
7 power strike
7 iron flesh
7 riding
5 weapon master
145 polearm wpf

What horse do you use riddaren?

What horse do you use riddaren?

I use either the arabian warhorse (which is the reason I have 7 riding) or an armoured horse like the charger.
When I use the charger I usually also use the heaviest armor possible. When using the arabian warhorse I use medium armor.
The arabian warhorse is superior to all other horses as long as it doesn't get shoot. You will (should) rarely take melee damage due to the good maneuverability.

ps
I use the regular lance since I've got used to it now (after 5 months or something). Previously I always used the heavy lance.
I've tried the heavy lance for a bit since it got buffed by 1 damage last patch but it feels uncomfortable. It just feels too slow.
