Hey,
I'm at 90 padded and 90 spear mastery and I'm using heavy padded(even though I know it's not the best armour, I'm not here to talk about that:p) and a long pike.
Now if you think a long pike is usefull or not, I'm sparring with a guild member who's using a lance and is on a horse, now I'm really having trouble hitting him, I actually haven't hit him at all yet, I have hit the horse with the pike wall and with the overhand attack. Any tips on how to him or the horse more^^?
