Cav totally overpowered doing 40 damage with couched lance, please nerf it. Cav requires no skill..... maybe on TDM. Speaking of bumps, you cant really knock down enemies any more in 90% of cases, bump is the only thing you have to break blocks, if you can't even do that any more just delete horses. Heavy Cav costs 200g it's supposed to win against any other class in a 1v1.... that's not overpowered, it's balanced
The only people who have been refusing cav nerfs so far are main cav players. Having a MAILED armor horse, riding as fast as a courser in warband, and having more maneuverability than the sarranid horse in warband is ****ing bs. I never talked about couches because they were nerf and they are on a good spot now. But bumps are still broken:
- You can put down any foot unit for 5 seconds with a good bump because how ****ing slow the animation to get up is (note that cav can block and often disappear in walls when they are dismounted so they are almost invulnerable when dismounted, omg its so hard). I did some experimentation and when a cav does that and stops right away he can attack you for 20-35 dmg 3/4 times before you get up, that's insane.
- You can bump for up to 20 dmg on a OATHSWORN with a vlandian or aserai heavy cav: that's more dmg than an average 1h sword hit
- Every small bump does 2-6 dmg, and you can cycle bump really fast because of maneuverability
-You can literally move enemies out of a fight by just running on them, because they are moved with you (wow skill based)
- Bump stab is not that hard anymore because every small bump removes the shield block
And that's only for bumps. The attack speed of cav is too fast, especially after foot units speed was reduced. You can hit above any shield with the upper hit if done well. So no, cav isn't balanced.
