Yeah, I noticed that on my own pure thrower.
As much fun as throwing is, I think I'll mainly be trying to use the 1h + shield (which is what I want to do, since I'm already an archer/2h on Dark, and like it just fine.
)
I hear your concerns Jesus, and Brutal, and they crossed my mind too, but ultimately as I said, I don't think I'll be looking to use throwing as my main source of damage, so I'm okay with it not being as powerful as it could be. It's there mainly to chuck at people I can't catch on foot, take down horses, or an opener as I try to get within melee range. (D'Haran tactics much Sphinxer? Gotta love Rahl's army. ;)) That or as you guys have suggested, to soften up 2hers and people I don't feel comfortable taking on in 1v1 melee.
Thanks for all the input and advice guys, I've decided on my build, and I'm happy with it thanks to you.
