I was a thrower last gen using heavy axes and it was comical with the amount of axes I've put into people before they've gone down, or didn't and trudged through the crowd to get me.

That's a problem with axes being considered slashing damage...

I use jarids and they have a very nice punch even to heavy plate users.

This would probably be a bad (bad as in great amount of tears produced by my foes) time to play my thrower alt with 13 powerthrow.

-throwing kills about 2% on both siege and battle
-2h kills about 26% on battle and 41% on siege
-100% of 2handers whine 100% of the time

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

With the new restriction of 13 wpf per PT needed... yeah, probably a bad time indeed. :/
I've always used him with the 'low proficiency' message. I don't try medium or long range throws though unless I'm using war darts since they have a good amount of ammo.

Then you are losing powerthrow.

I know...but it still hurts just a 'bit' hah. Pretty much any cav in the server quickly learn to stay away from me after a few rounds of throwing lances/spears in them/their horses.

I have no problems with throwers with my Champ Destrier, the only throwers I avoid are those with good aim or throwing lances.  Dont charge them at top speed head on and your horse wont get wrecked

Warning to cavalry from experience on both sides: Don't charge straight at the thrower. He will kill you or the horse.

I dunno.. I haven't really seen a thrower that's been any sort of threat yet. I could see the potential, but it'll take time for throwers to revive their population.

13
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

Throwing is shit inaccurate still but satisfying when you kill a cav that's going at full speed :D

At least a little more then a rouncey would be nice, but horses HP are too low and all projectiles seemingly completely ignore armor and get massive speed bonuses against cav and just lay them out with ease, nerf pierce, nerf throwing, nerf bows, or buff cav hp, thanks in advance

So that massive speed bonus is totally AWESOME for the cav player as he one hits his way across the battlefield, but holy shit nerf that speed bonus if it is the other way!
