So far, I've seen Throwers get the wussiest nerf in the game, 1 1/2 handers getting fucked with two slot weapons and a shit stab, considering their range and Cav getting this shit slung onto them for no reason when they had very little reason to be nerfed in the first place. (Because, let's face it. With the proliferation of Pikes and xbows before this patch, you couldn't even run into combat, you where effectively unable to do your job as a cav due to the amount of 0wpf xbows and pikes everywhere.)
Honestly, this doesn't bother *me*, because I'm currently an Archer and Long Bows have pierce damage back, but as for the game at a whole, I feel that it's not a good idea and that it'll make some builds even more OP than before.
And for fuck's sake, lower throwing damage already, or cause them to take up too many slots to be useful past the first one or two throws, people are still stocking up on throwing axes and chucking 'em like crazy, you're busy re-animating 2h and bows all the time, but throwing isn't changed at all, when it really needs it bad.
