Do you consider throwers ranged?

[Grumbs]

All throwers are ranged, some are nearly pure ranged and others hybrid

[PsychoTwins]

I consider throwing in between "infantry" and "ranged".  I voted yes however due to their projectiles they throw.

I did the same thing. I am a 2h/thrower and I think the this guy is describing "ranged" as the kiters that run away to reload and such whereas most hybrid throwers go right into melee after throwing the few projectiles they might have. OP does sound a lot like me though

jesus .. thread is ok .. but some post's .. ouch.

Honestly I feel like I operate at the same reach as most throwers with my pike, the amount of times I have gotten to stab those fuckers in the face with some good surprise movement and target switching, delicious.

Also, throwers scare the bajeezus out of me, fuckers never seem to miss me and hit like arbalests.

Pure thrower is ranged for me. If someone goes 6 - 7 PT but gets melee wpf and PS at the same time, he's a melee hybrid, therefore part of infantry.
A pure thrower most likely will stay on ranged, so he's not infantry and I guess most of these pure throwers won't join melee if it can be avoided.

A certain player which I won't name always seems to take pleasure in instulting and whininig about ranged players yet he himslef is a 2h/thrower.

I find the same exact player being whining about spam constantly while himself desperately trying to spam all the time, so I guess it's not a good example of what opinion you should take into consideration.

..this is it.

I hate throwers even worse than i hate crossbows. Scummiest of scum, urgh.

[Rumblood]

Nope.

PLus their dmg is a joke, unless its some dude with 10 pt and +3 throwing lance gimick build 

Comments this ignorant should trigger auto-mutes.

[DrTaco]

Typically I consider myself a thrower.

I don't see what the big deal with throwing is anyway, I had 8PT, +3 throwing lances and still couldn't hit shit, so everything seems to be normal.

By that same logic an archer with PS and melee wpf is a part of infantry too.

Considering the lack of accuracy on medium and long distance, the lack of noteworthy amounts of ammunition and tthe point investment necessary compared to Xbows... No, they are not ranged. Just melee with a sidearm.

[Grumbs]

They are ranged because they deal damage outside melee range, damage that can only be blocked by a shield. Some throwers hardly do anything useful with their throwing though, so I could think of them as melee

Having a thrower just behind his team mates has a similar effect to an archer if he is a dedicated thrower, it deters enemies from pushing, does a lot of damage (depending on the projectile), breaks/damages shields, and you can jump and throw over team mates

Archers/xbow are more annoying because of the ammo and accuracy, but throwers can still be deadly and fill a similar roll. Melee guys with throwing can get a free kill or so.

For me I consider throwing as a self defence first of all.. To me it works to keep cav away, and sometimes down them. The snowflakes are there to stop runners, interrupt people fighting (yeah, I feel dirty), stop xbowers from reloading and make archers dodge in stead of aim, to get the attention of the enemy.. It's also fun to backstab archers with a snowflake to the head.

Overall I find it gives me great flexibility, durability and lots of fun on the battlefield. I think I get more kills with my sword though, perhaps like 1/3rd of my kills are throwing kills, though the point investment is larger. It does save my ass all the time though.

If I think I have a decent chance of winning, I go melee. If I know I'm fucked, I throw. Sometimes I throw a snowflake just to piss the enemy off a bit before melee.. I only take Jarids when there's good heavy cav around, or I really want to win the round.  Which means usually.

No, I do not :3
