Beginner's Help and Guides / specifics on the use of throwing weapons in melee

« on: December 27, 2011, 04:06:21 am »

So in my search for a viable pure thrower I've failed, luckily being close enough to retirement to not have to respec;

lvl 27
24str
12agi
52 pole
127 throwing

1 iron flesh
3 shield
4 ath
8 power throw
4 weapon master

war darts
Jarid
Throwing lance
small round steel buckler

Doing some research I see a lot of throwers are actually 1hers with a smidge of tossing mixed in. But I found I thoroughly enjoy using jarids/T.lance in its secondary, as it intimidates some to run and give me the opputurnity of planting said weapon in their backs.

So here's the question; when using say a Jarid as a melee weapon, what constitutes it's wp? Is it a 1h, or a pole? Does it use the bonus for power throw or power strike?

Any answers, and possibly advice on enhancing the build for this play style is appreciated.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Looking for a solid Thrower guide/build

« on: December 18, 2011, 11:25:56 am »

I thoroughly enjoy throwing a spear into someone's face, but 2h agi spammers are starting to make me regret my thrower build. Is there an up to date guide on throwing builds, tactics and gear?
