double stacks of throwing weapons/arrows/bolts

[PhigNewtenz]

I like Phew's suggestion in principle, but it doesn't need to be a 'special' slot. Just add a fifth slot. For that matter, add a hundred slots. You would still only be able to equip four slots worth of items. Don't over-think this by making the extra slot unique is some way. Also, don't over-think this by making double-stacks of weapons.

So instead of kitting my old friends we will have kitting throwers. No thanks

I swear people say 'kitting' more often than 'kiting' in this forum. Just stop. 'Kitting' makes no sense unless you're worried that throwers are going to start putting things together into kits. I don't think that it's that hard to get it right.

In what way does this make ppl kite?

If you want 4 slots of trowing weps, you equip 4 slots of trowing weps. The you kite when somone closes in on you and keep trowing untill you find a wep on the floor.
If you have an extra 0slot wep you wont have the need to kite, you have a wep.

great idea buff ranged my old friendgs  there are not enough in numbers already  get us more archers and throwers

[Siberian_Wolf]

Everyone who says this is a buff is an idiot.
It's like this:

Double ammo > double slots

Instead of 24 arrows = 1 slot
                48 arrows = 2 slots

Or...

Instead of 3 javelin = 1 slot
               6 javelin = 2 slots

Only thing this will do is allow throwers and other ranged to carry a 0 slot weapon and reduce the kiting they will do. Think before you type guys.

+1

[Latvian]

you mean reduce their repair cost so that helps those bastards on upkeeep?

[Siberian_Wolf]

Nope, it will be double the cost, double the repair of course

Fine so 2x2slot of throwing 1x0slot weap + extra 1 0slot buckler.
Learn to manual block

And why not? At least they will be more tempted to stop kiting, right?

I use bardiche. But imagine agibuild with sword cathing thrower + buckler what he will do. Nothing only block, it will take some time to cut throught  at least 5 sec. This is enough to be lanced, shooted, backstabed or any other unpleasant ending of agibuild.  And even I will use 1-2 swing to break throught and I am smelling  increased in  +3 bucklers.
We have Agor at least he has limited ammo, with this system he could snipe all day.

Use throwing daggers or shuriken if you don't have enough ammo

[Siberian_Wolf]

Your saying all those like this is a thread to give more ammo.
They not getting more ammo. DOUBLE ammo and it will take DOUBLE slots. They will still have same amount of ammo, only difference is the they can carry melee weapon, 0 slot.

U know they are even to bad to suck balls?!

Which means 4 stacks + (0 slot) melee instead of 3 stacks plus melee = more ammo.

That's only true if they're already not carrying a melee weapon.

How many throwers can you think of that only carry throwing weapons? When I throw, I often bring three stacks of war darts and a one slot, one handed weapon. If this change was made, I would almost certainly carry two double stacks, a buckler, and a hammer or other zero slot weapon.

Not only would I have one-third more ammo, I would also have gained a shield!

[Piok]

It will not give more ammo in general but will make possibility to take a shield. Everybody knows how much skilz it takes to block in melee with shield
And my balanced build in mw kuayk already dies to 2hits from dedicated archers and throwers. Last thing I want is to cut throught shield after I survive gazzilion of attempts  to end my live in my zigzag dance.
