Title: Thrower changes
Post by: Aulisia on February 16, 2014, 10:37:22 pm

Well i came back to cRPG after a couple of months and noticed that i had a free respec and that stuff changed. I tried to recreate my old character but i couldn't...

Now i only have 97 in both Throwing and Polearm and i pretty much suck at both but especially throwing which is ultra inaccurate now. I understand this happens because i have low agility and that now it's a big trend and stuff but i cannot play the kind of character i want...

I think that power throw penalty lowered from 13 to 11 but i still suck. it's like 7*11=77. So i'm left with only 20 wpf plus any weight penalties that apply (i have about 10.8 weighted equipment).

Has anyone figured out how to play a proper thrower who can also alt-attack with his throwing lance without being totally useless?

Take more wm.
Or what I would do (and I'm doing actually) all wpf in throwing. You don't really need it anyway with the alt mode of the thr lance being that good.

for more WM i need 3 more agility, meaning i have to go lvl 33  :shock:

[edit] Maybe i will go for 33 and just put the rest of the skill points in throwing, like 100 in polearms and rest in throwing...

..don't go (dedicated) thrower ..neither bow, it's a pain in the a*s nowadays, i tell you.

...unless you're idealist.

At least for archers, hybrid is even worse than dedicated builds.

Throwing hybrid is playable and fun. Especially with MW Throwing Daggers.

Pure throwers kinda more fun. At least imo. Also your higher WPF prevents teamhitting too much.

Hmm..ok. But i will never go lvl 33, needs a shit of patience. Guess i'll just stay hybrid support class and get overpowered at duels ;)

Thanks all for answering.

Hybrid thrower is the only way to go IMO.  There's no reason to ever be pure thrower (again, IMO, I know many disagree). 

With the free respec, they changed how WM works.  At 6 WM you will see about no change (maybe slight improvement in melee skills if you are splitting WPF between melee proficiencies).  At 5 you will see less WPF total to go around, and more than 6 WM you will see more WPF than you had before.

Actually, a pure thrower with 6 WM will have more wpf now since they changed the PT requirement from 13 to 11 per PT.
