The inventory space and use of an action space does not bother me at all. The one and only problem I have with the ranged weapons is they do not have a far enough range. I would use them to pull much more often if it were not for that, but as it stands now my Taunt has a longer range.

I have used throwing weapons on NM's after dying and while I was still weakened. Doing so allowed me to do damage at a safe distance, but other than that they are completely useless.
