Why are looters faster, than me?

It's all about timing the swing.
I'm still confused why these looters are pinpoint accurate with their stupid rocks.
Once you're armoured I have no idea how every rock does 1-3 damage. They so accurate they hit my exposed face everytime? Ever thrown a rock at metal, yeah it ain't hurting nobody for quite a while

What timing? I mean, try to hit a professional boxer before he hits you, use all the timing in the world, and you'll still fail, unless his hands are tied... and even then I doubt, you'll succeed.
I think they plan to add sprinting, it's clear that it exists in the game (arena fights are where I've noticed it), and then we have that arbitrary stamina, which might be tied to it, but as of now, only functions to annoy you when you want to level smith
They are all marathon sprinters on the world map as well. Map speed for looters/bandits/scrubs needs to be adjusted. Not that interested in auto following them for days.
With swing speed and reaction I enjoy the game most one setting down from the max for AI opponents. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm glad it's an option. That feels like 'normal' or 'average' mode to me.
Run speed... ...yeah... ...definitely feel like the human player is always slower and misses out on a lot of fun combat because it's often over so fast and you fall behind pretty much anyone. I have definitely hunted for a sprint button a lot. Just want reasonable parity with AI with the understanding that you're a leader and will almost certainly be opting for a high armor rating.

they have sikrit rocket assisted boosters installed on their boots. Geared up youll need some 120 athletics to run after looters. Still far from 300. With 300? No need for horse and probably youll be running after retreating riders on foot

Lighter armor, take a look at your encumbrance, I usually try to keep it under 10 if I expect to be able to run with the same speed as infantry, especially if I havent levelled my athletics much.
Regarding swing speed, thats probably in your head. I swing faster than looters even with only 75 or so skill, all about timing. it can also help to turn your body with the swing.

Minimum swing speed is still very fast. I have skill matters mod installed and with high skills the swing are superfast. If you swing after they started to swing it is too late, high skill means that you will swing again before them. These aren't warband looters that swing in slow motion because low skills.
No. You need more horses in your inventory. I can run down a band of 12 looters with a party of +75. Horses like palfreys and Battaninan ponies speed up your party a lot. If you're not able to catch up to looters on the world map, then it is likely that you're not properly managing your party/inventory.

1. Many of the NPCs have really high athletics skill. This allows them to run like the wind.
2. The starting horse isn't really a riding horse. It's more like a pack mule. One of your first upgrades should be a real riding horse like the saddle horse or midlands palfry. My personal favorite is the Battanian pony, mostly for the health.

and the rocks somehow do damage to my fully armored knight enough to knock my ass out of balance and therefore unable to lance them

Exactly my point. The AI knows the precise moment to swing, it's the pro not you, and all the points you have in One Handed aren't worth a damn unless you do too. One thing I like about combat in this game is that it requires player skill as well as character skill.
