Best throwing weapon

[Kafein]

Jarids and war darts. On my dedicated thrower I think I will use two sets of each.

Well I tested 4point shurikens a bit and...

From my tests, it seems, that a blunt dmg of stones (11) is better than cut dmg of 4point shurikens (20) vs armor.

I know, that it is well known, but wait...

I didn't expect stones won't bounce off Heraldic with only 9PT. They didn't, though 4point shuriken did. -.-

I wouldn't say 4points shurikens are good. They fly fast, yeah, but they doesn't have much better accuracy than darts (at least not at 9PT), and the dmg difference is A LOT. 4points shurikens < stones < darts, if you attack armor better than lamellar. stones < 4points shurikens < darts, if you attack a really bad armor (actually, something near clothes). That's what I'd say...
That sucks. For me, Marathon, you just typed bad weapon name. Maybe you meant darts?

What! Why aren't my stones listed up there!!! 


now in all seriousness: Jarids are the best followed by war darts. Jarids can drop an opponent with 1 hit if they are lightly armored enough and running at you.

War darts: insanely accurate, decent pierce, higher than average projectile speed, large bag. All that with a measly requirement of 2 pt. Definitely needs higher requirements.

I have to agree with the above, why not at least have stones in your poll.

At over 7 PT, 100 wpt stones rock. They are so accurate (and you can follow their trajectory easily after throwing: so you can hit at long range). Great anti-archer weapon on siege.

All of you miss one thing. Higher PT req, less accurate your weapon is.

I mean: wpf at all doesnt increase accuracy highly enough, to make a thrower with 150+ wpf. 100 is enough.

But if you have high PT, your accuracy is REALLY GOOD. Even WITHOUT wpf. If you dont have any wpf (1) in throwing, but 9PT, you can see, that rocks are the most accurate throwing weapon at this point, and wardarts are a bit less accurate. If you take alook at javelins, they are SO inaccurate... but hey, Jarids are even less accurate. Why? Now take a look at req. Higher req = less accurate, because PT is increasing accuracy only if higher than req.

So stones with 0 req will gain accuracy from 1pt, 2pt, 3pt, ... 14pt. But for instance javelins with its 3req, will gain accuracy from 4pt, 5pt, ... 14pt.

And Lances with 7 req will gain accuracy from 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 13pt, 14pt.

If you increase req of throwing weapons, you kill their accuracy.

stones are not better.

[Vammo75]

Stones are still more accurate than snowflakes. If you have a reason for wanting accuracy over killing power then stones are better. You can kill a mid-level without helmet with two head-shots with stones PT8 from long range.

You should still put them in the poll even if you think they are not good - democracy after all.

I think Jraids and throwing spears are good for heavy armored opponents, because its  Pierce damage but very expansive, also the throwing speed makes it more powerful and easy to aim. And the Throwing axe is good for the breaking shield and cheap, but deals much less damage to heavy armored opponets. So i personally thinks that javelins are better for throwing and is kinda cheap( its cheaper than the heavy throwing axe), also the ammunitions.
