Why no throwing weapon skill?

[Camate]

Greetings,

As throwing weapons are not a main source of attack for battles, the development team does not have any plans to introduce throwing based weapon skills. However, we will be implementing throwing weapons that have item levels.

Also related to throwing, in order to increase the opportunities for using shuriken with ninja, we would like to add some new elements that will be unique for ninja.

The team is currently working on developing and adjusting other aspects of the game at the moment, so this will take a bit of time; however, I’ll be sure to keep you updated as there is progress.

How i loved chucking those things^^ Main hate tools at lower lvls. I am intrigued by this news, wonder how SE will implement shurikens? Thowing them will result in a delay in dps, unless they deal large amounts of damage and tp at lvl119. These things were slept on at lower lvls (Hate magnets), however, as our dps increased (Traits, WS), shurikens were rendered useless. Sange was nice for quick long range damage in abyssea (If it crits); but koga's were a pain to get, not to mention the new lvl119 weapons > lvl75 shurikens. Adding new elements is the only hope for shuriken ninjas, even a 119 shuriken would fail in the delve era.

Shuriken ninjas ftw^^ hopefully this works, best XI news I have heard in a long while.
