Honestly, I still stand by it being absolutely ridiculous that we, for a long time, had higher throwing skill than hand to hand skill, yet could not even equip a throwing weapon because of our animator. Just put some dmg/delay on them and be done with it, it's not like the different animators have anything actually different about them, aside from how much dex they give, and that they're not animator +1, giving HP/MP.
Every melee brd set up created by anyone who's ever played bard disagrees with you.
