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.

if it's synergy it would be 99NQ 198HQ1 297HQ2 like all the other ammo :O (omm nom nom Fusion Bolts)

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 was about to reply to this, then I realized I already did.


EDIT: You are incorrect, ninja was not designed as an endgame puller. It was suppose to be a new jack-of-all-trades type job, like rdm, but it failed at that.

[Bulrogg]

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.
