1st to 5th strongest throwing weapons (lance, jarid, throwing spears, javelins, hammers) are the same, while the weaker ones received better damage. HTA lost 10 damage from the armor soak and -4c, now they got 2 damage back from +3c, not a big deal. Jarids with -3p and the armor soak change only lost 7 damage since it had a lesser effect on pierce. Even then, +3 HTAs are as strong as +0 jarids against medium armor.
