pure thrower?

[martyrAD]

are they worth trying to play? and if so a build for one? also what about a hopolite/thower hybrid?

Yes a 1h/shield hybrid thrower is definitely very nice, being able to switch from melee to range really adds a lot of fun to the game, and you can get a lot of nifty kills with the versatility or at least soften people up nicely. My clan is built around this class as standard infantry, everyone is a huge fan of it.

Look for something along these lines:

Strength: 21
Agility: 15
Skills to attributes: 2

Ironflesh: 3
Power Strike: 7
Shield: 4
Athletics: 5
Power Throw: 5
Weapon Master: 5

One Handed: 115
Throwing: 108

Feel free to tune it, you could even get away with 24/12 (personally I like jarids, but maybe you prefer heavy axes).

If you put on leather gloves you can wear medium armour, my armoured setup gives 40 head, 46 body, 44 legs.

awesome, i guess my only other real question, if i use a spear and shield, with the spear out does it count as a polearm or1h for wpf?

Polearm

stupid

Hey smartass he also asked about hoplite.

MB on 1h skill, like armpit said, replace with polearm for hoplite.

hoplites dont do enough damage or have enough reach to justify using a shield. either go 1h/shield + throwing hybrid or longspear

Throwing is best hybrid with 1h/shield.  Its a great way to soften up heavy enemies, discourage back-pedellers, kill lightly armored opponents trying to flee
