Throwing Lance is FUBAR

[Ubereem]

They are super effing weak now even with 7 pt. Most people can easily take 3 lance hits before dying. I hit a naked bastard with 2 lances and he ran off. Hit man in chin with lance and he killed me only to be hit by another lance in the neck area and survived that too. Pretty sure archery is stronger than throwing lance.  Having the 2 extra lances is not worth it. Also we need a 0-slot polearm.

that would be pretty op yo

Not to mention, how easy do you think it is to hide a polearm so that it'll fit into your pocket without anyone seeing it? 1h weapons are 0 slot because they're so small you can just hide them in your pocket

I'm not sure a Broad Short Sword (length 86) is short enough to hide in your pocket

Depends on the pocket, I'd say...

Did you meet Mendro or what ? He's the only thrower to own, and still a jarid +3 from him into the body him makes like 1/4 of my hp WITH 10 PT (Rus lamellar armor + leather gloves, both +3, and 70 hp).
His build is UP compared to what he did sacrifice to get this 10PT.

I've had Mendro one-shot me a couple of times on my old 24/21 pikeman build. Don't know how much throwing's been changed a since then though. I haven't tried throwing lances since they were changed myself, but before that, they were easily op on low-populated servers, and up on high-populated ones. If ammo levels could be changed depending on server size...

When I played a bit yesterday evening, there were throwers everywhere. Axes, lances and spears flying everywhere. A bunch of throwers are arguably more annoying than a bunch of horse ranged.

>Yusssssss. Buff throwing!

Oh yeah, sad nerf on lances... not sure how much it changes them but at 50 they were pretty damn good.

They're going to get a 30% bonus to final damage against horses. Hopefully this avoids some situations where you spend 3-5 ammo on just 1 horse and helps close the gap for potential damage vs other throwing weapons. Run forward when throwing to deal additional damage.

Awesome, maybe then i can oneshot those pesky HA's.

I don't think so, but you'll probably down the horse in 1 less ammo.

That you can kill even more cav?  And fuck up the balance even more fucked up.

Cav was OP, if there was a clan full of cav around 30+ people, the opposite team vs (The cav faction) will lose every round unless its a infantry-only map. as of now ranged units such as throwers don't do enough dmg to horse , they are not a risk to all Cav, right now its like Cav > Thrower.

Well since they nerfed the shit outa lance the melee is super weak now so you must carry a extra melee weapon. Lance goes perfect with polearm but they nerfed it like I said.

So they devs think 3 lances to kill a medium armor dude is perfectly fine? They don't feel like this build is a waste of time? Seriously 90% of what I throw at are people not horses.
