you want something like Wrist Flick? that would be nice, but more jobs have throwing skill, and Blu doesn't even have any last I looked. I think the Highest is Ninja with Pup, Sam, Dnc, and Cor all tied for second.
I'd say give them to Nin, Dnc, Rng, and Thf.
It's been asked for before and the answer was nope.jpeg because coding.
Throwing isn't useful for damage in the first place.
Even if there was no issues with actually implementing it, they would be completely worthless unless their weapon skills were so overpowered that they could do better damage than almost every other weapon skill in the game despite the extremely low damage.
There are only two classes that have above a D skill in Throwing Weapons that could even semi-justify using them. Ranger and Corsair have obviously superior ranged weapons. Samurai have equal archery and throwing weapon skill, but they have very good archery equipment access and uselessly awful throwing weapon access. The Puppetmaster throwing skill is entirely useless. They have virtually no access to throwing weapons and they need that slot for a piece of equipment that allows them to use most of their job abilities.
Throwing weapon skills would be entirely useless for Dancer. Their absolute best damaging weapon is worse than a level 18 Shuriken for damage and delay.
So, that leaves one class, Ninja. It seems extremely unlikely that any reasonable weapon skill based on a throwing weapon would ever be able to beat out the Katana ones. So, the only time they would be useful is in the situation where a Ninja can't get in melee range, has to use physical damage only, and can't use Ranger as their sub and a gun.
Also, as said, Blue Mage can equip Chakrams, but they have absolutely no throwing skill. In addition, they have the same problem as Dancers, even if they did have the skill. Their best damage throwing weapon is worse than a level 18 Shuriken.
Throwing weapons have never been damage tools. They are pulling tools for classes that do not have a better alternative or for classes like Samurai or Thief, that can potentially do an inconvenient amount of damage with other ranged weapons for pulling purposes.
It would still be fun.
I've been wanting this for a long long time. :D BLU, NIN, THF, and DNC should definately get.
