War-horse:
See your trainer to pick up beginning horse abilities.
It's helpful to have done the horse quests from Hengstacer farms.
How to get a horse:
Complete Langhold quests, go to Harwick to see Cilian, talk with Seoca the Riding Instructor for lessons.
Shift + M for the Mounted Combat horse dialogue box. It has three tabs:
*Stats
*Appearance
*Traits
When first opening this box, your character can pick whether to use a Light, Medium, or Heavy war-horse. If uncertain, pick the same as the character's armor. Light is faster, heavy is slower but harder to harm, medium is between. The skill lines are a little different, and each skill line has three lines to pick from.
Different Disciplines (think Stance) will change what the skills on your quickslots do.
The horse has inertia. To help control this:
*Before starting to ride, put a point into Agility.
*Before riding much, go to the Options/UI/Combat Options/War-steed Auto slowdown.
Continuing to ride allows Fury to build enhancing blows and enabling some of the most powerful combat skills. If the rider needs to hold still, he might do better off the horse. Staying mobile makes the enemy have more difficulty hitting you.
Queue mounted combat skills before reaching the target, some suggest while turning. Turning tightly is best done a bit more slowly. Use both keyboard and mouse for control. Try more distant camera angles perhaps from new directions, to help see where you're going and to help versus dizziness for some folk.
LI Bridles should be picked according to the type of horse: Light, Medium, Heavy and go in the same slots as other LI's to level. An LI Bridle can be equipped by placing it on the UI on the Shift + M. Make relics by Melding at the Relic-master.
