Throwing

[Heck]

After a long time I always looked at throwing and wondered "whats up with this?". Ninja get A- skill in throwing (Caps at 354 @90) as well as Sange with merits. I feel like more can be done with this. Adding Throwing Weapon-skills, or some Job ability that can add bonuses or cause negative effects to enemies while using throwing would be great.

I don't want a throwing weaponskill that I'd never use, although some updated shurikens that are practical to obtain would be nice. I like your idea on some kind of additional effects too.

[Rieul]

As a WAR and DNC, I concur that there should be at least one Weaponskill available to Throwing /ra.
Perhaps they could make it only available at 250+skill
(even a quest to unlock is optimal; RDM we gotta wait til 99!).
To be job-specific would be cool, for instance Ninja gets a multiple shuriken attack similar to barrage…
(sorry RNG?) >.>
WAR could get a buff for STR or impede enemy STR… who knows?!

I would love to see a lvl 60 smithing lvl 60 alchemy combo for a new set of shurikens. 1 tama-Hagane 1 Cerment Chunk
NQ 66 HQ1 99 HQ2 99...etc. Call it Iga Shuriken since the last one was Koga after the relic armor sets name.

Iga Shuriken: 96dmg 192dly lvl85 I dont think its so far fetched and it would be nice to have a dual craft item that isnt max craft of a specific skill. If its going to be synergy then just do away with the 66 NQ and make it a full 99 each time.

Unless they make really, really good shurikens, that are also very cheap to make, throwing them will lower your melee damage and cost to much gil for anyone to give a crap about it. And unless they make throwing WS's that are superior to existing katana WS's, no one will use them.

Given SE's track record, I highly doubt they add anything worth using, even if you people beg for throwing WS's. So instead of asking for useless stuff like throwing WS's and new shurikens, when in the end it's just going to be a waste of time, how about we focus on real problems with the games job system, like how terrible sam, drk, rng and pld currently are. Ninja is perfectly fine the way it is right now, and will not have any problems in the future unless they make us go back to fighting really hard stuff, in which case the job will suffer from low acc and overall damage compared to other DDs.

I'd like to see some Throwing WS, new shurikens, and make shurikens able to be wrapped and stacked like other ammo. Maybe even make the shuriken have enfeebles on them and when used with the WS, or Sange even, the effect would last longer.

Enfeebling shurikens?
seriously?
I'm pretty sure ninja already has spells for that (~.~; )
Can we please have less fail in the official forums? SE is probably reading this.

Affordable shuriken recipies that dont use a full sheet of darksteel for only 33 shuriken. Ninja-based Throwing weaponskills that have some use and could sway a ninja from using Blade Jin sometimes. I think I've used it some 7000 times.

shuriken that arent rare and appear past level 61, and dont show up as a result of 1 per quest, per vanadiel day. * Scouting the Ashu Talif
Royal Painter Escort
Targeting the Captain

in which you can make 3 koga shuriken per day maybe. it would take 33 days to make a full stack by yourself, if you were super lucky, to make a stack of koga shuriken.

how long does it take a ranger to use a full stack of arrows/bolts?
the consumption rate on these is highly impractical. Ninja needed something before the introduction of abyssea badly just to keep up. but it never came!


I like throwing, and sange, I really do. So much so I got bored one day and levelled it from 80 to 240.

It's nice, throwing damage has insane DPS. except for the fact that even when they introduced sange, nobody ever used Throwing for anything except sky gods. and that was by rangers.

Really, there are ninja spells that enfeeble? ... I don't see how anything is fail on this forum other than you and other trolls attitudes and remarks to the follow community members.

It's not unrealistic to see a ninja throwing poison darts is it? Other ammo has enfeebles on them. Why not on throwing stars too? No, not the same enfeebles ninja already have the spells for. Maybe a Bind, Sleep, Dispel, Terror, Stun. Who knows. It just seems like Throwing is sort of over looked and could be improved upon.
