Buff Throwing - Suggestions

[Son Of Odin]

Yeh and throwing is a class for clever/calculating people. That is one reason why I like it now. You have to THINK before you throw even the first throwing axe because obviously you want to be able to collect it back and throw it again. You can do this, but it requires some planning. You can't throw just in the middle of enemy melee if you want to collect the weapons back. You can't just spam some mob like that or you lose all your throwing weps.

1+ sir,  and you also gotta calculate your throw heavily if you wanna throw over a long distance due to insane arch and slow speed.

Ofc I meant that you want to collect the throwing weapons in case you don't hit anything, aaand you usually want to avoid hitting shields because you can't pick those up anymore either...


Just so some smart ass doesn't get to say it first .

If you really want to do dmg, you have to make a STR build but then you cannot run away since the lag of AGI.

Isn't that how it should be?

I had a 27/12 9PT 100% throwing alt using throwing lances.
The throwing was very accurate and did high damage. Nothing to complain about there.

Dunno how it is with other builds and weapons but throwing is far from underpowered.
Kill 2 horses per round and 2 men and you will top the scoreboard. All you need is 4 throwing lances.

It's probably the most deadly char I've ever played.

Try 10PT + masterwork throwing lances. PAIN! One funny time I 1 hit a guy with full health in the toe with one from pretty far away. I can only imagine what he was thinking. 'wtf...how the....wut'  LOL. Fatal toe damage...haha

I don't know if it's supposed to be, but atm it seems like throwing is just a sidearm but you cannot effectively play it with a pure build.

yes, that's what it's supposed to be.

btw, war darts ARE effective. didn't believe this myself, but they're relatively accurate and have pierce damage! overall i could kill people way more often than with my heavy throwing axes.
ofc, you'd have to loom them for maximum fun

EDIT:
I roll with 21/15, 7 PT, 7 PS, 7 IF on lvl 31, and I use balanced heavy throwing axes for now. war darts are my choice when attacking on siege, more ammo and more effective reach.

I play 27/15 build.
I think I 'am pure thrower cause I have only 4 power strike. (9 power throw , 142 wpf)

There is one problem for me:
 
Why archers and crossbowmans are better at close range than me ?!

[Thomek]

Well.. I have a lot of fun with throwing.

I love to be able to headshot archers. Nothing gives my more pleasure.

But it's also a great source of frustration, since 6pt MW Jarids rarely 1-hit riders since that's my main use for them. My alternative is to aim for horse-heads and deal with the rider later. The problem arises when an unarmored horse doesn't die from s MW Jarid planted between its ears.. Then I'm dead, because cav players have the easiest headshots in the game. I do feel a tad dirty when spending my Jarids on melee folks though, so I understand there must be a balance somewhere.

Still, giving throwing weapons +1 +2 damage and increasing missile speed a bit wouldn't hurt too much.

Still, why fix something that isn't broken?

As cmp / chadz told the community once :  They don't "fix" stuff that's supposed to be broken.
They change it or add new features...  you better learn more global mod

Aren't you a cranky one today... I'm still allowed to have opinions, even after moderatorizing, yes? no? If I disagree with the title, I should be quiet?

I've told my suggestion earlier in this thread.

If I could minus a 1000 times, I would

[Vibe]

How about we talk about something that actually needs a buff, like mounted swingable poles (LHB off the horse)?

[Andswaru]

I lent you a minus , you owe me a mailshirt.

Throwing could use a faster projectile speed which atm is laughable slow...

Its actually quite hilarious to watch a guy from 6 feet away dodge your throwing spear by pressing A 3 sec after you have chucked a spear at him 

That is all just buff the projectile speed not the dmg or crosshair.

Atm it just feels broken
