The art of throwing II

[Johammeth]

I'm working up a viking shieldthrower, looking for some input before I get too deep into the build.

31

18/18

IF: 4
PS: 6
SHIELD: 6
ATH: 6
PT: 4
WM: 6

onehand: 121
throwing: 116

will be wearing light to medium armor. i want to play as a medium skirmisher, etc.

it looks OK on paper, but i'm not really up to speed on this game's mechanics and i'm wondering if anything jumps out at anyone.

Cheers

Does extra wpf in throwing make a difference?

[Turboflex]

not really, stick with minimum you need for your armor.

I have the same build on an alt. It's fun, but kinda broken. Throwing is heavily nerfed.

Most fun I've had with a throwing build:

Level 33:

Strength:18
Agility:21

Polearm:120
Throwing:135

Weapon Master:7
Athletics:7
Iron Flesh:6
Power Strike:6
Power Throw:6

Very competent in melee and great accuracy and damage with throwing weapons. I plan on doing a 21/21 build at 36, with 7 powerstrike, 7 powerthrow, and 7 ironflesh. With the throwing lances I believe it could be the deadliest and most versatile crpg build hands down.

Good luck in two years!

Now its 0.1 weight  x 4 (cauz hand armor). But yea that still the best deal weight/armor

So, does  hand armor reduce  throwing wpf by x4 of its weight now ?   Could anyone tell me please what is the new weight/wpf throwing forumula?

This formula work for me 6 month ago , I don't think they change it:

2 x weight head armor + 1 x weight torso armor + 4 x weight hands armor + 1 x weight leg armor = W
If W< 11,9 you don't lose any throwing wpf

Sadly I never find how much extra weight impact on throwing weapon points

Tank you very much

[Snoozer]

have you tried a wpf calc?

i think its based off of melee wpf

but here it is http://alpha-lider19.ru/MB/

[Phew]

None of the weight equations in this thread are even close to correct.

I have:
Head 3 kg
Hand 0.5 kg
Body 17.2 kg
Leg 1.7 kg

I have 5 power throw and 105 wpf, which is exactly what I need to avoid the message. The equation in the OP says I would need 115 wpf, and Mendro's says I would need 92 wpf.

I always just make a STF character to test different armor combos to see if I'll get the message.

It does not follow the melee weapon wpf chart.  Legs definitely count more than it does for melee wpf
