The art of throwing II

[Turboflex]

You would not need 100 throw wpf for 4 PT unless you wear heaviest of plate. For heavy armour (around 15-17 weight) you would need maybe 75-85 or so for 4pt. So again unless you go super heavy, you could actually easily go 6 WM and 5 PT and have throwing WPF around 100-105. I could narrow it down if you post what you usually wear.

[Everkistus]

Of course!

I wear these two sets:

1,8 weight Helmet with Lamellar Guard
5,6 weight Tribal Warrior Outfit
0,8 weight Rus Cav Boots
0,3 weight Mail Mittens

or
3,0 weight Zitta Bascinet with Faceplate
14,5 weight Sarranid Guard Armor
0,8 weight Rus Cav Boots
0,3 weight Mail Mittens

For throwing weapons I'm considering War Darts or Heavy Throwing Axes. With the 6 WM I could get 75 WPF in throwing.

EDIT: with a quick calculation I realised I need 106 WPF to use 5 PT if I use my heavy armor set and 81 WPF is I use my light armor. So I think 4 is the max for me?

[Turboflex]

Or you could just drop your pole wpf a few points to get throw wpf up to 106.

Bumping this in the hope that some mod finally makes it a sticky thread!

[Ronin]

Guide section does not need stickies. The section is like a library already.

[Molly]

...but this is such a fundamental thread about throwing with all the important things in it, it simply should be sticky.

Especially since the forum search function is crap.

[Ronin]

Those who want to learn about a particular topic, can look manually in the guide section. The section is only 4 pages long. This means every thread in this section are stickied in practice. That is the purpose of the guide section already.

Isn't the formula now without the -10 WPF?

EDIT: It seems the -10 WPF is more like -20 WPF nowadays.

Is francisca+shield viable?

I like the Francisca as throwing weapon for the higher projectile speed but I am more of an throwing "sniper" anyway. I like rather big distances.
I'd suggest keeping 1 stack Heavy Axes for the melee part tho. If I'm not mistaken, they do plenty more cut damage and have quite the reach advantage too.

In doubt, just test it as you level up. As soon as you wear your "normal" armour gear, keep putting a few points into throwing as you level power throw. When you can pick it up from the ground, you`re good.

I have a little over 10 weight on armour, 5 power throw and 85 wpf. Can pick everything up that works with the 5 power throw...

Requesting a build for heavy throwing axe and shield please

[Turboflex]

You can tinker with this, the amount of throwing WPF you need depends on your armor. That's a pretty safe amount and should like you equip 18-20 weight heavy body pieces (and their equivalent gloves, helms, boots). In medium armor you can prolly drop to 80 wpf.

You can modify stats too of course, for a heavy shielder with nice armor you might consider 24-12, for a lighter infantry shielder 18-18.

Fantastic build, I loved mine but I swapped out all my ironflesh for a shield. Although I would suggest a shorter, faster and more damaging weapon (I used a Niuweidao which was pretty damn good but I would have preferred to have another direction; Broad Short Sword (as always) is possibly your best bet. I also recommend Throwing Spears because 6 ammo isn't enough. If you get loomed items, you will do some pretty serious damage.

Without a shield I felt that I couldn't face my dreaded foe; archers and other throwers would nail me pretty consistently. Obviously shields are very useful when you are being ganked and if you know how to time your attacks and choose your targets, you can get out of many situations without being hit.
