Well, that is the question I have to ask. Is this going to use heavy armor? Is this going to split wpf at all? If so, you need some WM. If medium/light armor and only pole wpf? No WM is needed, which can add the extra oomph to a build.
The other question is what type of horse are you looking at? Heavier ones like cataphract? or can a light horse be alright? I'm going to assume 4 Riding for a Destrier/courser/Arabian.

This puts some limiters on your build right off the bat. I've got only one solid option to give you, the rest sacrifice a lot in many areas. The best choice is 24/12 to be honest.

I noticed that with only 4 riding I paid more often for horse.

Anecdote. To my knowledge nothing is in effect about riding in regard to horse breakage chance.
Unless someone can refer me to a dev post.

The upkeep is a bit random so maybe it was only bad luck as I had 4 riding.

Holy Moly, that's my EXACT current build, and I like it very much.

My prior build was 21/18, no iron flesh, 130 1h and 60 pole, 4 riding  which, i have to admit, I really like having Ag18 ath6, and is another viable option, that I may return to, 2-3 iron flesh is pretty worthless imo, unless your wearing super heavy armor... -edit- woops, wait that was at 31 lol

Also, as a 1h, anything less than 21str, on foot, is underpowered, and will lose you many a standoff, unless your leet and loomed heavily.

It is a good 1h+pole + cav infantryman build. Imo the best, most balanced one.
Farrok, I will note that It is probably better with the 120 1h 100 pole wpf. :P

Hey I tried that 21/15 1handed build and i love it! But I want to add a little throwing ability to it. I will mainly fight normal but carry some heavy axes just for lulz. How is this build? Oh btw my gear is sarranid guard armor, mail coif or barrute, decent gloves, huscarl, steel pick, and heavy axes...

Strength 21
Agility 15
Skills to attributes 2
Ironflesh 2
Power Strike 7
Shield 5
Athletics 5
Power Throw 5
Weapon Master 5

One Handed 120
Throwing 102

How is it over all? Any changes you would make? Is 120 enough one handed to compensate for my armor? Thanks in advance for any advice that may be given......

Hey Marathon how was that 1h/Spear/Shield/Throw build working for ya? I'm trying to build a hoplite that can throw, not sure where to balance it out. Might have to ditch 1h?

You can only get 50 1h wpf, which can work. But ditching 1h altogether is a valid option.

It worked pretty well. Very versatile, but did not specialize anything.

going back to the hoplite. Is light armor viable? Or heavy armor essential.

Edit: I'm trying to build off 21/15 but somehow still maintain some speed. I was wondering if I should go light armor/short spear or just go heavy and warspear. Trying to stray from support and being able to fare somewhat better 1v1 w/ the spear.
