So we hear everyone talk about this OP throwing :D

Personally i don't think throwing is OP, tehre is just too much of it.
Anyways, i'd like to hear what throwing weapons you guys think are best compared to their price and ammo and stuff. What would you prefer to bring every round?

Jarids, they have the best damage to ammo count ratio, as you should be able to one or two shot anything (one shot if you are a dedicated thrower).

After that I think throwing axes for the stack and melee versatility and shield damage aspect.

Jarids overall for being extremely deadly, and axes for how little they cost combined with how they can be used to destroy shields.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I'm going with lances just for the OP one hit anything  factor, and that they're also a reasonably usefull melee weapon when enemy closes in, as opposed to Jarrids or even Heavy Throwin Axes.

My 2h thrower loves javelins and jarids. Very, very accurate and with high powerthrow those babies are very overpowered. But the pinpoint accuracy is what makes them great.

Thowing axes have the most style though. Require much more skill and timing to hit anything with those.

If you make Thrower correct, it is definitely a OP.

War Darts are definitely best choice, and Javelins second best.

Heavy trowing axes, you can spam them easily and they do good dmg.

I personaly like the feel of the axes, never realy cared much for javelins and the other stuff. Also like the sound when they hit, its like *thump* and you are dead  :lol:

*Edit: The accuracy is also ok in my opinion, i think that axes are better for hybrind builds, for example a sword and board/ trower wich i am playing now, jarids, javs and those are more for dedicated trowers

Im not sure if everyone see that, but according to site stats, javelins and every weapon above it have all bonus vs shield.\

Javelins are the best throwing weapon considering additional bonuses, dmg, shot speed, ammo, speed rtng and price.

Blasphamy.

You might like stones, but they are by no means the best throwing weapon.

This is about the BEST weapon, not the one you like using

Oh, in that case javelins are the best balance overall.

P.S. It's knives, not knifes ;)

P.P.S. Where the hell are the shurikens!?!?!?!?

My 2h thrower loves javelins and jarids.

I like how he feels emotions towards specific weapons.  :D

I would have to say Jarids, decent ammo and damage. Plus the bag on your back just makes you that little extra bit manly.
