Bows vs Throwing, A mathematical Approach!

So throwing is a short to medium range class?

Who would have guessed?

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

About what? My results may be obvious, That does not mean they are wrong.

Your conclusion is wrong. Darts cannot hold a candle to bows, if this was the case far more people would use darts, me included 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

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!

Thing with throwing lances is that you can take like 70%- 90% of one player.
So all you got to do is look for the good player and throw babe!:D

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! Might go polearm/throwing sometime in the future. Anyone got a quarterstaff they wanna trade?
