thanks guys, it helps a lot :)

with zero ironflesh, you will realize you die quickly. So i recommend you not to give any pt skill. Here is my current build;

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Hit points: 70
Converted: 2
Ironflesh: 7
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 5

One Handed: 146
Polearm: 6

Equip also a pike, awlpike, or a long awlpike instead of throwing weapons. It will give you advantage against cavalary

What about that ?

Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Converted: 2
Ironflesh: 5
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 5
Athletics: 5
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 0
Power Throw: 2
Weapon Master: 5

One Handed: 146
Throw: 6

I just hate polearms and I have no problem with cavalry in general, except on really open maps.
2 PT gives me access to the cheapest axes which will be ok I think since it's mainly to damage a shield or defend a ladder in siege.

Tell me what you guys think :D
Cya in game !

2PT isn't enough. Throwing become useful when you have at least 6PT with 100wpf on throwing, or at least 7PT.

Well as I said I don't want to throw 24/7, I will just carry a bunch of axes to use in certain situations, to kite ppl or to damage a shield. Anyway I don't need insane accuracy so is 2 PT really too low ?
Thanks anyway :)

With PS 8, you need 4-5 heavy throwing axes to break a huscarl. :-) If you mean throwing franciscas to peasants... ok. With PT2, a ninja with black lammelar armor suffers around.. 5, 10, 15 points of damage? No more.

If you want to be a thrower hybrid go for 21/15 with PT7 or 18/18 with PT6. The curve on PT is very unbalanced. From 0 to 6 is pretty useless. From 6-8 it's get a nice boost. From 8 to 10, it's awesome. From 10 to 12 is from another world or something. Just try to play a full thrower and see what I am talking about.

Well, unfortunately giving some points to PT does not live up to your expectations, especially when it's below 5. I always face situations when I regret not to have something to throw, but in order to have my throwing skill powerful, I know that I have to sacrifice my 1h skills, which is something I really don't want :)

Also keep in mind that people are talking about the new slot system which might, ( I'm not totally sure about it, check it out yourself ), alter the hybrid builds by disabling carrying a side weapon such as a pike or throwing stuff. If those are to come true, then things we are discussing right now won't even matter. My suggestion is to try both builds; polearm vs throwing as a side weapon, before the new patch comes. Then you decide which one was more effective and let us know ;)
