I dislike all ranged equally. But these days I hate throwers the most, they do ridiculous damage and they are the always in your face but not fighting in melee. Was a thrower two gens ago, thinking about making it permanent but simply don't enjoy playing douchebag roles.

When I was still young padawan, throwing was OP for a full month and I was thrower during that time. Throwing allowed me to kill players much better than me. That's the definition of throwing.

Infantry plan to rule the mod:
1: Nerf archers to dust so that people quit playing them - Check!
2: Nerf throwers to dust so people quit playing them - In Progress!
3: Nerf xbows to dust so people quit playing them - Coming Soon! Edit: Updated to In Progress! http://forum.meleegaming.com/general-discussion/please-help-44544/
4: Nerf Cavalry to dust so people quit playing them - In Planning stages!

I think throwers should be able to keep jump.

They do however need their own turn speed formula so they aren't doing what pikers do.

EDIT - Unless its a throwing dagger or ninja star.

no class has had more nerfs and fewer buffs than main/pure throwers
no-skill eu's ruining this game but it's the devs' fault
put too many hours into my thrower to want to keep playing after all this bullshit

jump throwing was perfectly acceptable.   the accuracy while jumping is balls.

I want my jump xbow shots back. Sure they are stupid but when I land one and kill a guy it's fucking hilarious. This is a game remember? And games are suppose to be fun remember?

First of all they shouldn't remove jump-throwing. But if they're going to do that, then they should give throwers less of a penalty to running speed from their weapon and being 'primed' to throw, and less penalty to aiming when running. That way at least we could remain so-so skirmishers.

But the devs have been picking on throwers for like two years now. It's just nerf after nerf, with nothing given back so we can have a niche. To make it even worse, my throwing build is pure, but the build they're balancing for is hybrid throwers, so those of us who have put most (if not all) of our stats into throwing get extra-nerfed out of all proportion.

I have been levelling-up my pure thrower to 34, and I already had to restart him once when they implemented the WPF requirements. They're just taking all that time I invested and voiding it by breaking my build.

If it weren't for all the times and all the ways that the devs keep balancing for EU tastes and neglecting NA opinions, maybe I'd keep playing as melee or something, but I'm just sick of it.

I honestly don't mind when you guys do jump foward to throw, but that silly jump backwards out of the reach of people chasing you so you can point blank them is pretty silly If there was a way to keep the jumping forward and not backwards I'd totally agree bring back jump throwing. It is pretty funny watching throwers on NA they are like little bunnies. Don't know how it is for EU.

Jump throwing got my approval 33 pure 2h here.  :wink:

I dont see why throwers should´nt be able to it since they unlike archers demand that they are really dangerously close to their targets plus they hardly have any ammo.
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

The thing that is extremely fubar is the fact that maybe 1 out of every 20 deaths is from throwing, if that!

And 1 out of every 50 throwing deaths is from jump throwing.

Don't worry Fin, it probably was a necessary temporary change until they properly implement flying.  :D

1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.
