Yeah, it's just so hard. You must have missed this:Almost a 12:1 k:d ratio on a level 30 character.

Man, cav sure has it tough.
Don't post pictures of someone's kdr that only has 70 kills, that proves no point. That is like 2 maps of kills... Hurry someone jump on your alt get 1 kill and post that shit up!
Also glances still do rear horses sometimes, even from the side.
Were I not trying to focus on the actual potential, I would agree. The class does generally outperform others in k:d, as made apparent by the fact that the only class to get anywhere near 9:1 k:d (I believe 9.2:1 was Rohypnol's record) for the character's gen(at least that I have ever heard of, and I can't recall proof of melee even getting 5:1 for a gen), was mounted. Which is a reminder I had hoped people would have recalled upon seeing the screenshot.
tldr; k:d itself generally isn't a reason we use to nerf something, it's only an indicator, a "red flag" if you will.
If I can get 5.5 kdr with poles and 1k kills and 5.4kdr 2h only 326 kills before respec im sure that others have had it... and yes I do have proof. My best ever gen with cav was 10.5kdr but that was back when
cav was truly OP. Now I would say it is pretty balanced tbh. There are select few cav that can continually top the boards, but they are going to do that with everything and have been playing the game for
years. There is a huge gap between heavy can and light cav. Light cav seem pretty much useless while heavy cav is damn near the only thing you can do to even play your build. It is pretty expensive to ride
around on an arabian for it to get shot out from under you in 1 to 2 shots. If you want to cut some cav down, get rid of those lame ass couching lances that require nothing to use them. Reminds me much like
people picking up crossbows that do not have anything in them. Focus on fixing the completely broken stuff, like no skill into couching lances to use them and no skill into crossbows to use them before we
destory anymore builds. Put some sort of wpf requirement on them, problem solved.
