Javalin/Jarid/Throwing Spears alt. mode should be 1H weapons

[Pdogg5954]

The title pretty much says it all.  The alternate fire modes of all throwing weapons should be one handed weapons.  The polearm animation for the javalin not only looks awkward, but makes it less than useless in melee.

Which is how it should remain, useless in melee.

To nerf throwers , I'd making throwing weapons only throwable .. so no more Lances used in both melee and throwing.

Says the thrower ...

Dont remove melee from javalins! its the penultimate insult to kill someone with a javalin in melee!

I'm not sure that amkes sense?
Seeing as penultimate means "second to last"
The final one before the really final one

No. Just no. And yes I was a pure thrower

[Seawied]

ultimate insult= melee rock/fist kill 

::edit:: I guess that technically makes javalins the antepenultimate insult.

The better the throwing weapon the worse its melee ability. Axes are clearly the best melee modes for use with shield.

Throwing lances IMO are a melee weapon with a secondary mode of throwing. Take on stack and enjoy.
