So throwing is a short to medium range class?

Who would have guessed?
Hooray for customization and hybridization!
Down with monotonous pure classes!

OMG! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME! Here I've been throwing my shit from long range. It seemed so obvious at the time! Blasted!
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

I think what everyone is trying to say in all seriousness is that the OP is just plain wrong :P

Your conclusion is wrong. Darts cannot hold a candle to bows, if this was the case far more people would use darts, me included :P Darts are far less accurate than you assume and the damage isnt as high as you claim either, its all very good getting numbers from a calculator but if you actually compare darts and bows ingame the result is quite different.

Oh sweet irony! I actually just finished a gen as a long bowman, And am now using war darts as my main weapon, I find that the damage is significantly less per shot, and that they blow at range, But i get within 15 feet or so, and people get wrecked! My K/d As a bowman was about 1-1, But as a Wardarteer, I usually go 1.5-1 and I am only level 26! Yes, I get what you are saying, but at the same time, If you play to the darts strengths, and avoid the weaknesses (Long range) you can really roflstomp!

If you get better kd's with darts than bows then you clearly weren't a very good bowman :P

I can beat a few (of the worse) HAs (I'm using jarrids not darts, but I think I could still pull it off), sure against OD, Remy or Elmer I'd not stand a chance but still, point is, GIMME YOUR LOOMS!

I'd say 60-100% Really the same thing though, beats darts and bows for sure! (Though the ammo/gold blows.)

Don't forget the AWESOME melee mode! The speed and swings of a staff with the stab of a warspear. And an actual decent length on the weapon (still, just the same as a normal spear, i.e. short, but longer than the hilariously short throwing spears/javelins/jareds/throwing axes). I love me some throwing lances! :D Might go polearm/throwing sometime in the future. Anyone got a quarterstaff they wanna trade?
