you dont have throwing there which is the only thing i think is unbalanced

they hit with the power of a crossbow, but the player can release projectiles with the same speed as an archer
on top of that they can use a shield with it as well, which no other ranged class can do

Hmm... you've touched upon a thrower's strengths but you've neglected to mention their weaknesses! They might throw as fast as an archer and with the strength of xbow, but they have less ammo than either, and less range and less accuracy. I'd say they're balanced. Crossbows are still a little too effective with 0 WPF, but that can be easily fixed.

I wouldnt say anything is unbalanced, except for ironmace and perhaps sidesword.

Other than that a few polearms need to be tweaked and the 2h stab is complete bullshit.

1h, 2h and polearm all need item tweaks (side sword, barmace/iron mace, hafted blades/long maces). Crossbows, bows and cav are fine. Hybrids need some tweaking. Retirement/heirloom system needs an overhaul.

i bet ur an archer of some sort

What IS Balanced? well... in that regard, what is BALANCED is that which has thing which has both its positive and negative traits balanced, so as not to make it either too strong or two weak.

i would say that its impossible to define what IS balanced, unless we see what ISNT balanced... because what ISNT balanced unbalances the balanced things.

i would say, in general...

1h
Archery

are pefectly balanced as it is.

i would also say that...

polearms
shields
2h

are balanced well, but need improvement.

finally, i would say that

horses
throwing
crushthrough weapons

are grossly unbalanced, and are what tilts the balanced weapons to unbalanced.


hopefully i answered that right :)

Barmace, Iron Mace, Great Maul, etc are all obviously unbalanced. Says so in the item description.
