throwing lances nerffed to much

[Native_ATS]

its far from useless tagg.

its not uesless, but its pretty bad.

[kinngrimm]

Am I the only person that uses a throwing lance for a hoplite character? Use the lance as a spear till the end game, then start looking for a dangerous tincan to throw at?

i tried it for a short time. But the throwing lances are to short agaisnt cav in secondary mode and i was more succesful just standing there letting them come and throwing in last second and perhaps even getting out of way of their lance.

And yes throwing was a anti cav weapon, perhaps not the axes or others but defintly the jarrids and the throwing lances.

Throwing is unplayable now. Accuracy is worse, and damage got hit, and then for Jarids and what not you get less per stack...and I didn't even use these weapons, I used war darts. The ONLY weapon that didn't get nerfed was rocks.


There is NO reason to keep playing my thrower now, which is sad because it was the only class I had fun playing in the land of tin can spammers. The devs are still idiots, or they are all two hand spammers who got one hit by a str 33 thrower with a 2 stack weapon that had the cross hair the size of a horse (which is the damn near the only way to one hit them)...oh yea, so over powered.

Not the case.

Boo hoo, mr Overpowered skillless lolthrower got nerfed!

Might as well take them out of the game. Their effectiveness got reduced by around 90%, if not more.

After 6 gens as a thrower pre-patch, I can confirm that throwing is now pointless. You can try it as a gimmick, but if you want to actually contribute meaningfully to an encounter then you should roll another class.

I saw Pebble do admirably well without much wpf, the class finally takes more skill to use.

pretty much my thoughts. Having them take up 2 slots for 1 throw isn't justifiable... especially not when you add the wpf-throwing calculation pinned onto it them as well now.

Its pretty sad when the lowest tier throwing weapons are better choices than the top tier ones. Atrocious balancing decisions were made this last patch regarding throwing.

[zagibu]

Maybe drop their damage to 50 and give them 2 ammo again?

[Inkompetent]

Either give them 2 ammo or 1 slot each imho, maybe with a slight nerf in damage.

And heck, for throwing damage... With 5 Power Throw I can't 1-shot people even when hitting them in the face with heavy throwing axes if they wear as much as a leather hat. Throwing weapons are handy, but I don't ever see anyone kick royal butt with throwing weapons.

The devs clearly want you to only carry 1.

I'd say remove this weapon from the game entirely.

The devs are human and make some pretty awful decisions regarding balance and patches frequently. These guys aren't professionals; they're hobbyists. What they want isn't always going to be a good decision.

Never liked being 1 shot by throwing lances whilst wearing full plate

OH NO! The one thing that you have to worry about in full plate! I feel so sorry for you!

I'm very very sorry that you weren't completely invincible in your tin can, the nerf was definitely necessary otherwise you wouldn't be able to decapitate 20 people per game swinging your longsword around like a helicopter.

A++ would read again.

I can't 1shot people with heavy throwing axe to the face with 10 power throw. I just accept that it'll take 5-6 wardarts to get someone's hp to half. It is pretty cool to pester people with them. I never expect throwing weapons to kill ever.
