I usually go for 8 athletics with little to no armor, because then I can just about dodge any attacks if I concentrate enough. I don't put any points into charisma, and just grab any weapons I can. Also, I usually use just bows and arrows, with a fast weapon like an Arming sword or Scimitar for quick attacks, but that doesn't usually matter because I can easily outpace most enemies with the high athletics.
The only problem is if I set the battle slider to the right- I have to guerilla on the enemies and that takes ages to get through.
ESPECIALLY war parties with groups of over 100. That is not pretty at all. Also, I tend to pour the rest of my points in Strength and power draw, as well as Iron Flesh.
Enemy projectiles can be dodged, but sometimes I get too caught up and Iron Flesh is my sort of fall back plan. It's incredibly insane to be moving so fast that the enemies can't make a good attack on you. Side steps dodge vertical attacks, horizontal attacks you can just run forward full speed and you can out maneuver it, stabs are like vertical attacks. I usually am not hit, but there's rare instances. Dodging horses is also simple, some times I can even catch up if they slow down a little.
Sometimes I even go full archery, with 3 large bags of arrows and a longbow, and just dodge appropriately. Shield enemies aren't a trouble because I can shoot faster than they can attack, and even if they attack, I can just dodge it. I usually don't use a horse, because I kinda prefer staying on foot. Aiming on a horse just feels weird, plus I didn't put points into Horse Archery...

Invictus, love the crazy old Iron Maiden, I've formed a small church based on their writings. Shirley I'm not serious.Invictus said:
I solo actually usually. Thus I have always full party whit me, I just order them to "Hold Position". this is to get them lvl's whitout they dying and this way enemy come usually whit bigger parties.
So, I just use my Heavy War Horse that has good charge, Plate armor (darn, havent found better) and Heavy Great Axe. Enemy horses are easy, they are soooo easy to hit when they run toward me and my axe kills usually whit one or two hits. Footmans are also easy, I just run through them swinging my axe whit crazy look on my eye. Olny problem are Archers because War Horse is so damn slow.. but I manage. somehow. sometimes..
That Heavy Great Axe pisses me off. I got it when I was lvl 9 and havent now at lvl 40 found any better.

i soloed once....it was fun attack them tdo as much damge retreat and start the process over, especially if you can kill alltheir archers in first round then find a place wher it hard for them to reach you dismount, shoot them with crossbows, by the time they get near, mount your horse and move to another location (if they have horse they shouldnt be smart enough to follow you up certain places)

Infantry solo is (and should be ) very hard on large battlesizes. You need rugged terrain where cavalry cannot charge you easily. Against khregits, a footman is in a world of pain.
On foot:
I have a steel shield, bastard sword, awlpike and throwing daggers.
On horse I have a steel shield, Bastard sword, bow and bodkin arrows.
If they only let us ground pikes....

your movement and attack speed speed increases with each point of agility, so if you want to build a speedy gonzales you should pump as much as you can afford into agility

The best way to solo is no armor, heavy great aex, spirited charger, war bow and wo alrge bags of bodkin arrows. Watch the bodies pile.

I like to solo with no armor and nothing but 4 bags of rocks, and a staff in the chest just in case.
