Buffing Hafted Blades on horseback

[darmaster]

yup buff LHB on horseback, nerf 1h cav, at least the bump and slash thing, nerf bump damage. that would be enough.

What was changed since the days of LUBU?  I've tried it before and was able to do reasonably well with it back in my lance cav days.  However, I think I tried it again more recently and it was absolutely atrocious.  I couldn't land a solid hit to save my life.

Getting into it properly now.

Getting positive K/Ds most rounds. But if I subtract my kills after being dehorsed my overall KDR is <1. Considering when I play normal Lancer my KDR is about 3:1 and 1h cav about 2:1 I think it proves that the L/HB is somewhat underpowered on horseback.

I use a mw lhb and can confirm that the slash is RIDICULOUSLY SLOW on horseback. Like, unrealistically slow. You would have to purposefully be limiting how quickly you swing in order to swing that slowly. I have only ever managed to get 5 kills with that thing on horseback in my 2 years of playing crpg. buff pls

Copycat, just joking, jump on the band wagon!!! (Just got myself a +3 long hafted blade and going to go 21/18

[Switchtense]

I'm too poor for getting any masterworks, but a +0 one is fine

18/21 > 21/18

Have you found the left swing is faster than the right swing?

It sure is. Sideswings animations are inverted on horseback, so leftswing from a horse looks like right swing on foot (which for polearm is the fastest).

use those 3 attribute points on 3 shield and 2 riding so you can be ultra-utility man

Dont underestimate LHB on Donkey, most powerful combo.

Im gonna give 21/18 a go, don't see the need to ride an arabian, destrier will be perfect for me

2 riding for sumpters, lets you get to the ladders faster on siege

Tried it on a stf awhile back and the only real potential it had was sneaking up on enemies. I could see LHB cavs being a good potential counter to HAs though because the swing in front of your cav would be great for slashing at the backs of the HAs (granted you are able to catch them).

Row that boat

Just found the sweet spot, its not where you think it is, its at the back of the horse, towards the start of the swing. Once you find it, the class becomes pretty effective..

Just got this on EU1, 20-4 with only about 4 of those kills being on the ground playing as inf.

I don't think it needs a buff anymore, its hard to get right but thats what i like about it, something that not everyone would want and can use.
