Can knights at least get long arming sword to buy from as a crafting weapon from the weponsmith? It an upgrade to the sarranid cavalry sword. Only the thrust attack seems overwelmingly powerful but how many times do you see cavalry thrusting their sword on horseback?
Long arming sword: speed 96, reach 105, 33c, 28p.
vs.
Sarranid cavalry sword: speed 98, reach 105, 28c, 19p.
It is kind of overdoing it giving knights the same crappy melee weapons as previous tier. They don't live up to their name beside the great lance that only good for couching huscarls and poking things like a coward. I understand Jez doesn't want cavalry to be overpowered but something feels wrong with the name. At least change the name to lancer if this keeps up as they receive a polearm proficiency of 230 at the rank of knight. Does this mean I should grab a hafted blade when my character get 2 secondary class levels in infantry?
Drawing crowd of enemies and then taking them out one by one doesn't always work quite so well because it piss people off if it takes too long. I might as well play infantry to engage in a quick melee match instead so people don't get so upset.
Also another balance problem is the knight will want to pick up a cool polearm (especially when unmounted) in the game as soon as possible due to this WPF fluke.
I don't want cavalry to be over powered, I just want the class to be as fun as playing infantry.
