Throwing should be cheaper

Oh come on. Nobody ever uses throwing on Strat, because it's crazy expensive.
Rarely people make hybrids with throwing because you already have to sacrifice skillpoints, a solid bit of wpf, slots and MONEY.

More throwing-hybrid melee -> Less whine about ranged and cav.

Make throwing cheap! please

Huh  :?:lol:





Prices are fine, if anything should be done, it would be an ammo increase

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.

But throwing is kinda part of the ranged, so there will be more qq about throwing :P

I don't think so. On my 1h + shield/thrower, I can wear a Byrna or Light Kuyak, have an Elite Scimitar, Elite Cavalry shield, and MW throwing spears and still make money and is very effective against archers, xbows, and cavalry. 1v1, any of those 3 classes are doomed. I think throwing is fine in its niche.

oh great lets make cheaper weapons that can 1shot heavy horse, strat is still not too infested with things that can fuck up day for cav player, it is not like there always are 1000 pikeman in oposite team and those stakes and ladders on ground and god knows what else.

THINK ABOUT CAV!!!!!

I can kill plenty of throwers with shields in active distractionless combat as a horsethrower with no shield, I doubt it can be that hard for the rest of ranged.
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.

If anything archery should be cheaper! Using a stick and string to shoot another stick should not be this expensive.

I use nearly 50k worth of gear as a 1h/throwing hybrid, and generally break even on gold, despite playing siege exclusively. The key is to get on attack on the first round of each map.

Don't balance anything around strat, silly game mode for people that want to trade gopher pelts or whatever. Balance the items stats/costs based on game modes that  focus on medieval combat.

...

throw it away.

Your signature is awesome.

Almost every build can afford to accommodate some kind of ranged or horse-rearing (throwing axes, war darts, fauchard, hunting crossbow, etc). Yet no one dares tamper with their perfect min-max builds. Then they whine about cav.

Same goes for ranged. Every non-archer build can accommodate a shield, yet you almost never see 2h with a 1-2 requirement shield. Then they whine about ranged.
