I wasn't trying to compare throwing to meleeing DMG hate generation. I know that melee > throwing. I was trying to provide an example of how I used throwing prior to +75. It was like using provoke when a mob would move out of melee or ability range. I could toss a shuriken and as the mob was coming back to me start casting a spell, rather then trying to chase it down.

I was aware of the no TP loss but someone (not sure who or what thread as throwing in being discussed in a few) had shunned swapping gear for those slots due to loss of TP, so I included it just as a reminder that swapping ammo doesn't cause a loss of TP.
