So we had this update:

from this topic: Schwarzer Reiter: Major Weapon Changes
Where it says at the end “>All other skills which have not been mentioned can be used both mounted and unmounted, provided you are using compatible weapon type(s).”
Which means that we’ll be able to swap weapons to Bows and use the whole set of skills from Archers (but kneeling shot), Rangers and Fletchers, while mounted
I’m not sure if Pistols as secondary weapons was just a quick fix and a stupid decision, but I’m looking into it.
I think Schwarzer Reiter was just upgraded from a German mid-century gunned cavalry to the Mongolian horse archers, but we should instead walk on a path where they turn into Dragoons (carbine calvary).
Anyway, with those upgrades in mind, I’m thinking
Archer - Ranger 3 - Fletcher - Schwarzer Reiter
I’ll be able to cast the hell out of everything while mounted, just swaping back and forth from my pistol to my bow. What do you guys think? About the class, builds and anything.
