Personally, I find lancing well-balanced: it takes very little to no investment in terms of proficiency, skill points, or stats.

Builds in which I go full commander (e.g., INT and CHR heavy, most skill points into leadership and party skills) are the other times that I use a lance. I primarily use lancing at very low levels, particular with jousting lances to make some money off of prisoners.

50-60 average damage per shot will one-shot 90% of enemies. Lancing at higher levels is pretty much overkill in terms of damage and therefore mostly wasted. IвЂ™ve never been able to come even close to that with any melee build, much less the lance.

IвЂ™ve done 200+ armies solo with relative ease and speed. High level horse archer characters can solo groups of 100+. Horse archery is also the most powerful build by a longshot if you do dedicate to it. A horse archer wonвЂ™t really be good for much killing until they hit level 20+. The character doesnвЂ™t come into his own for sometime, when compared to other builds. Horse archery is, without a doubt, a very costly build to implement. You can be much more effective with a lance much earlier, and with less focused of a build. At higher levels, single shots are typically doing 50+ damage and one-hitting anything without a shield. Typically, you counter-clockwise circle a large herd of enemies while galloping at full speed shooting arrows as fast as you can. The only time my horse archer shoots from a parked horse is when the character is just starting out and doesnвЂ™t have the skill to shoot on the move. With a powerdraw skill at +4 above my bow (e.g., 9 skill with a 5-req warbow), 250+ proficiency, and a horse archery skill of 4 or so, my reticle is barely bigger than standing stock-still while riding the horse at full speed. Weapon proficiency also helps greatly with the reticle size and the amount of time you can hold. If you pick a bow that is right at your draw skill, it is going to be damn hard to use. The greater your power draw exceeds the bowвЂ™s draw requirement (capped at +4) the more accurate the bow is and the longer the reticle will stay вЂњtightвЂќ. One of the things that a lot of people donвЂ™t know about the bow is in the selection. I know you can also just park your horse a distance away and fire arrows, but I prefer constant mobility in battle. I find it takes longer to draw the bow, gauge the dropoff, and get a kill shot, especially if moving, than it is to just charge with a lance.
