Throwing WS?

[Fashnek]

I've looked at most of the topics and unless i've missed this one, then i'm sorry and just ignore me and point me to the right direction.

I have always thought... . o O {Why are there throwing weapons, but no Weapon Skills for these}

I'm sure other ppl have thought about this, and like i said, if i have missed an already existing posting, please point me that way.

They'd be nin and sub nin only.

SE already said quite a long time ago they can't do it for some reason.

Or they don't want to do it, LOL.

I think that it would be very interesting, make WS for throwing weapons but only for returning weapons in my opinion. So DNC,BLU,NIN,THF would have access to those. Specially Chakrams, one example from previous games is Rinoa from FF8. And whishing star being one of them. Not just the name of a weapon.

Having capped my ranged skills back at THF75, I would love it to have access to WS in both Archery and Marksmanship. Creating Throwing WS would also be a great addition.

THF DNC and BLU all have very low rank throwing skills and would never waste TP on a throwing WS.

Making it returning weapon only would eliminate the only real use for throwing WS, an actual use for shurikens.


The real problem with throwing WS is that it would either not be as strong as your melee WS and never be used, or it would be stronger and obsolete your melee WS.

#1Who cares about low skill rank. Its not h2h you know. Skill doesnt mean much on WS's it can be compensated for through other means.

#2 I agree it should be all throwing weapons. Just returning type would be lame.

#3 How is this a problem? Besides your either/or scenario is inadequate to describe the situation. Adding throwing WS's would strengthen the capabilities of the jobs that could use them. You would have new Self skillchain options. A ranged weapon skill (wich is handy to have sometimes getting close isnt a good idea). And some variety to how you could play the job (wich is always nice). Kinda wierd to dismiss the idea just with "its either gonna be too strong or too weak" logic. What happens if it turns out to be "Just Right"?

It does if it's a physical ranged WS because skill = ranged attack and accuracy.
