Throwing lances should be nerfed, not have their brokenness transferred onto another throwing weapon.

-1 hit kill to most characters at any point on the body, and at any point in the thrown range.
-80 speed to draw each throw. Unjustified considering how much more goes into the launcher ranged weapons for less damage at worse draw speeds.
-130 length (pulled and thrown from a backmounted spear holder, faster than an archer can draw and fire a much smaller arrow, despite the hundreds of pounds of tension propelling the arrow.)
-Can be used with a shield while having the 3rd highest listed damage of any weapon and the highest outside of crossbows.
-Can be switched to a melee weapon without having to switch weapons.

how sad, you fail to see the truth
1 hit killz my ass... 21 str you can throw a lance, you will not 1hit kill shit, at 24str and 8 pt you might, and will start to get lucky, at 27 you have a better shot...so you need an all str build have fun getting wpf and agi...
80 speed? its slower then an arrow, you cant spam it... and they move slow thow the air... also you only get 2! miss once and your dead, cant run or back peddle your to slow lol
130 isnt to long, smaller then a spear o.o
sheild throwing is crap, what sheild are you gonna get with shitty agi, the better sheild you get the shitty ur pt is... am not scared of any thrower with a sheild. he wont 1 shot me, he wont aim well and if he misses he is dead, just down block
