yeah I had a play with 3 powerthrow and shuikens on an alt and hit a guy in white tunic mail 8 times and still had to finish him with my scythe.
so I cba with throwing. I would use if it was accurate but its terrible accuracy/damage and just a waste of time unless you are a dedicated thrower imo.
I think military shruiken needs to be added to ninja weapons list tho, its not an amazing weapon without a shield but it definitely looks awsome!
I'm atm a dedicated 12PT thrower, and I can tell you that despite the overall whine about throwers, thrower isn't really fun, requires a lot of skill, and a lot of luck; since I have 12PT, I hit hard, but the poor accuracy anyway (even tho I kinda min/maxed the available accuracy for throwers), the hitboxes issues and the broken animations just wasting a few seconds of your time when you can only rely on throwing to kill someone make this class really painful. Kind of a glass cannon class; if you're lucky, you score quite a few frags, everything's fine, you're an awesome support, but if you're not, you get pwned, hard, and by everyone.
I'll probably use the throwing weapons as a backup on my future hybrid builds, but a pure throwing build is not really something you can rely on.
