Throwing weapons fly too slowly still.  And throwing lance number should be increased per slot.  My first char was a lance thrower.  It just isn't worth it anymore.

How about we buff dedicated throwers by creating two types of stacks of each throwing weapon. The first type is the same 1 slot throwing stack that exists at the moment. The second type would be a 2 slot version of the throwing weapon stack that has twice the maximum ammo of its 1 slot counterpart plus 1 or 2. Someone carrying nothing but throwing lances could have 6 lances, or perhaps this could be done only for those throwing weapons that need some sort of buff.

Personally I think throwing is in a good place right now and doesnt need to change, but if a buff is required then I think a slightly higher ammo count for dedicated throwers would be what we need to fix that.

TBH i dont see why the missle speed has to be so slow on throwing weapons when we need to throw out entire stack of ammo to kill 1 guy in mail armor the dmg is really awefull on throwing weapons atm and count in the slow missile speed to make throwing even more useless.

Im glad we got 1 slot throwing weapons again but whats the use of em when we need to throw and entire stack on one target  :

Some guy on a siege server hurling spears at me from about 10m range.

I was standing still and could dodge them all just by moving when I saw where it was going. He ran out of ammo and I killed him.

yep throwing lance are a bit meh...

2 by slot would be too much... 1.5 could do.

Otherwise  a slight damage buff would help.

I only carry 3 on my build right now. (4th slot is a shield)

with PT 7, I need 2-3 lance to kill a high str build in medium-heavy armor.

Yep so IF i hit with all my lance I'll kill 1 or 2 people... then I will try to punch someone to death or run until i find another weapon on the ground.

i dont really understand the rational behind the accuracy ratings on the weapons.  heavier objects are more accurate, whaaa?

as others said, missile speed needs to be increase, or decrease the pullback/throw times

damage really needs to be boosted on the medium & higher tier weapons.

longbows require less stat commitment and infinitely more deadly

one thing that would help alot was if the WPF penalty for medium armors wasnt so bad for throwers

Long time thrower, first time poster.

I like the way the current patch handles throwing. It's supposed to be dangerous being a thrower, because you have very specific roles to play. You hang back to dehorse cavalry as they come around for a second pass on the infantry. You dance around the melee looking for opportunities to wound a tank, while not hitting your teammates in their shins, and getting them killed. When you run out of your precious shots, you get all the fun of the suicidal charge with the randon weapon you pick up from your freshly-impaled kill (or some hybrid weapon, w/e).

Throwing is for precision, not spamming. More ammo will kill this fragile art, and the forums will be filled with shielders and wounded teammates.

F=ma-> all else equal, heavier objects are more accurate.
