Throwing weapon skill suggestions

[0nionKn1ght]

I always wanted to see Boomerangs with the WS ability to pull a target to you. So the WS would do low damage but bring whatever you are fighting to your feet.

Plus Puppetmaster doesn't get any access to Throwing weapons either outside of all jobs stuff, and Puppetmaster throwing skill only seems to exist to annoy Blue Mages. Simply put, it makes no sense.

But think about how throwing could be good for a Puppetmaster... there could be an automation that does throwing weapon skills someday. Alternatively, the Puppetmaster's throwing skill could be a hidden factor on something it does, like increasing the number of commands a Puppetmaster can send out, lowering overload chance, or even increasing the effect of healing items on the pet. I think throwing weapon skills for a puppet would be more impressive though.

Of course, some things will always be more important for some jobs then others.

I swear to god, if throwing skill secretly already influences anything with the pet already, I'm going to start a riot, pitchforks and torches and all. Especially because pup has no way to reliably skill their throwing skill, and access to no +throwing skill gear that isn't all jobs. I say this because it sounds exactly like something SE would do.

For PUP to skill up throwing, they need /ra ammo that works with animators or an alternate way to use maneuvers without being forced to equip an animator in ranged slot.

or an alternate way to use maneuvers without being forced to equip an animator in ranged slot.

Slight derail, but PUP should either have an alternative equip that is identical in function (such as changing the Deluxe Animator's slot), or be able to equip Animators in their sub slot when using H2H weapons. Introducing this around the time H2H gets handwraps or something like weapon grips (that would mostly be for Monk) for the sub slot would give creative options. Puppetmasters everywhere would get new options, whether it is pulling with one of the Lamia/Mamool/Troll-bane weapons, or being able to use cameras better, or actually being able to use the ammo options more readily, or being given Battery/Fan/Pump powered Puppet moves, and more.

....and no part of research and development is waisting time in my opinion. I find it laughable that one would suggest time is being waisted and then expect the programmers/devs to hear their plea.

Once I'm done compiling the different posts/ideas (not all are mine) I'll make a reply to the Matsui thread. It's a shame people can't idle their tongues and instead insist on mucking up threads, else Matsui could have caught up by now. There were some really good ideas (forum wide, not just throwing/ninja specific) and the same clowns clutter them up until they get locked, or buried.
