Sometimes i ran through a rain of flying things in the air and think that throwing thing must not be nervt by less damage, if u are hit from a heavy throwing axe it should do much ouch , but in ammo ! throwing things should be used only in few situations. One should think twice to use it or to hold it to use it later .... maybe u shouldn´t be able to pick it up again ...
If someone uses maybe 2h and a pike against horses , he can use the 2 slots for 18 throwing knifes , or 8 heavy throwing axes that which breaks shields. If there are 50 people on each side , and half of them have throwing things in unused slots , lets say only 50 man with only 4 throwing things each at average , that are about 200 throwing things flying through the air , which u can pick up and throw again !
And i said only 4 on half of the man. On eu1 you have 100+ people much of the time ...
Shuriken 8 Ammo 1 Slot , war darts 7 ammo 1 slot , daggers 8 ammo .... and so on .... in 2 slots 14-16 ammo . 14 x 50 people ( half of eu1 ) = 700 throwing things flying through the air ...
Only turtles can survive this .... and only turtles with high shield points , which not breaks very fast.
Sry , for the bad english , i hope you understand what i want to say.
Short : Yes , a thwoing axe can kill u , with only 1 hit ( with medium armor ) , but must it be , that u can carry 12 of them and a shield and can pick them up again after kill , to kill the next ?
Throwing axes should be more limited , and other things too ... 1 per slot i would say is ok. You would think twice when to throw it. and then its ok , if u can pick it up again ... U would have 3 throws of deadly axe , with 3 slots. Enough i say ! YOu wouldn´t have 500 thwoing things fly through the air all the time. maybe only 150 ^^
