Throwing is a way of life. I mean every class is unique, but throwing is somehow more unique. You'll know what I mean if you ever get the pleasure of hurling some shit at your enemy.
Share how are you using throwing weapons.
The rules are simple:
-State if it's your main or alternative or STF (if you ever used a throwing STF, thats fine)
-Isyour character a pure thrower or a hybrid?
-and write a short post explaining how do you use throwing weapons! Posting build is not needed. (you can keep it as a secret)
-You can add your favourite throwing weapon, but that's optional.
Example:
-STF
-Hybrid
-Favourite Throwing Weapon: All
I like using throwings as a sidearm. I Just made a melee character and added some throwing capabilities to it. My participation and reach in the battlefield simply increased in an instant! If the enemy is close I prefer to swing my sword. If there is an enemy that I can't reach without putting myself at risk, I throw some nasty things at him instead. Ammo is very important. It is good to use my throwing weapons sparingly. Always save some backup for later! If I encounter with an enemy that is carrying a shield or pretty bad at melee, I choose to engage in melee. If something else, I throw one or two at him to weaken first then I engage. It is something I can't do well with a crossbow or a bow. As weapons of my choice, I use them all. I believe war darts are perfect for this kind of playstyle, but spears, javelins, franciscas, heavy axes are all good. Lance is out of option for difficulty. Gaining the required PT level means too much AGI to sacrifice.

-I use throwing weapon as a shotgun device. When the occasion present itself I sheath my morninstar and explode my enemy with +3 Heavy Throwing Axes.

Aiming for 7IF 6PT and 6WM at lvl 33. 130 2H / 110 Throwing.
-Heavy Throwing Axes simply because it is now a the best secondary weapon to use as a shotgun device.
It weights only 2.7 Kg so I am not slowed to much when fighting in melee (4Kg from Jarids & Spears is too much) and it does as much damage as Jarids. 4 Ammos is not that a problem is you are hybrid.

Dedicated thrower.
Favorite weapon: Mw Jarids
Jarids, accurate and deadly :) Throwing is extremely unique class. You need to get as close as possible, but you'll still be heavily overpowered by all other classes on melee, even by an archer with 0 slot sword ;). So I try to throw my first 3 jards even at times the chances to hit anything are low, this way I can loot the first 1hander I can find. Still, if your team is doing well on melee and you can position yourself right, throwing can do miracles. My personal record was reaching over 20 kills as lvl 20'ish thrower on Eu_1. Just maxed out the strength and started hurling those jarids at them. Also throwers kinda "boost" each other's performance: more throwers = more ammo for you to pick up ;)
