In another thread somewhere someone told me that I had it all wrong mounted combat with Captains are great, we have great DPS and at range to boot and great self heals.
My DPS it on par with a herald and self heals are worse than my champs. I have 2 melee skills and they just about scratch the mobs if I'm lucky whilst the shouts don't even do that, a solo warband in Gondor takes about 10 minutes to DPS down and that's after several remounts.

I'm clearly missing something so please could someone explain how mounted combat for Captains should work?

Thanks in advance
