General Discussion / Re: My thoughts about throwing
« on: May 01, 2014, 08:09:14 pm »
Personally I play a level 33 pure thrower with 11 PT using mostly MW jarids, so my experience probably isn't the most generalisable
but over the last few patches I've felt the way I play throwing has been slightly nerfed overall. (beginning from the patch where damaged was reduced)
before that patch I 2 hit most Inf and pretty much had a garenteed 3 hit on anything excluding plated chargers, if I'm honest I'd say the damage nerf was fair, but since then the class has changed a lot, its become more accurate and less damaging.
I'd say I'm still a direct counter to squishy horse archers and other squishy cav If I play it correctly but when I think about the amount of effort I have to put in to win a 1v1 with most other classes e.g. vs a tanky two hander assuming we both started at full HP and alone I would have to correctly predict which way he would dodge 3 times before he got to me I'd say thrower is still a pretty hard class, but definitely viable if you are experienced.
My two cents.
