Should've FFXI had Throwing WS?

[Clocian]

Thought it would be a cool thing to see . Throwing a flying disc, or darts 5 times, and adding a cool animation to it. :biggrin:

 

[Kotsu]

"Throws like a little girl"
"Fast Ball"
"Temper Tantrum"
"Aim for the nuts"

Those are some WS's you can come to expect from throwing. ^_^

 

[Dejan]

Lol nice answer.

Yeah, i think throwing WS would be cool at times...

Hell, it would be the only reason i'd even attempt to lvl the damn thing...

Lvl 74 nin and i think my throwing is at like 70... IF that...

lol, ya I was just thinking of it, because I'm lvling it now(at 95 atm with nin AF hands)because once I hit 70 with rng, and nin(rng = 64 nin=62) I'm omw BACK to sky, yay :biggrin:

 

[Kotsu]

lol. Lvl 39 thf and 24 nin and my throwing = 58 ^_^ I just wanna use the final weapon skill: "Around the World Yo-Yo Attack!"

I loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 :B

W00t! Sky!!!

I sincerely thought i was gonna start lvling Throwing again at 70 Nin, when i could finally equip my Ungur Boom, but hell, it's annoyingly slow and tedious...

And, plus, helps with nothing ATM...

Cheers, and GL lvling it!

since ninja are the uber throwers they should get throwing WS. and SE should make the recipies for high lvl shurikens(sp?) less retarded.
lvl 60 shuriken: Main Skill: Smithing (85 - Adept)
Sub-Skill: Goldsmithing (? - Unknown)
Crystal: Wind
Ingredients: Gold Ingot, Mythril Sheet, Tama-Hagane, Mercury
Result: Fuma Shuriken x3
HQ #1: Fuma Shuriken x6
HQ #2: Fuma Shuriken x9
HQ #3: Fuma Shuriken x12
*cough* thanks SE...

Lol i agree...
Even costly as it is, i don't see spamming Shurikens being the way to go as nin honestly...
Someone posted in Alla some time back about how uber it can be... I think of better ways to gaining hate...

But hey, maybe if they'd make a better recipie, cheaper, some people might actually use em.. =P

 

[Kotsu]

Juice has to be worth the squeeze kinda thing. Demand is up if throwing becomes relative. After that, supply will go up to meet the demand. However, is the cost to supply isn't equivilent to the pay-off of meeting the demand, than the supply will never go up and the demand will not either. If any of the makes sense, I offer you this!

/em offers a ginger cookie.

Throwing is fun though. I love throwing darts at things and dancing with them. ^_^

 

[Skaw]

Yeah, when they bumped stacks to 99, they increased arrow and bolt outcomes to 99 on HQ2s, yet throwing items still only yield 12. What retard decided that one through?

Hate to say it, but in their defense, they probably didn't change it because limited range items (darts, shurikens etc) just aren't popular...but then, it's not like the synth fee on the only good endgame shurikens isn't one of the biggest reasons for that unpopularity to begin with. I mean Fuma are technically what, 35k per Shuriken? I don't think people'd be throwing those unless the damage was close to as high as the Wind items.

 

[nofriends]

I hope they add some. My throwing is at 210 right now ^^

 

[Rufus_Shinra]

Didn't SE at one time consider giving WAR the ability to throw their weapons? (Axes at least) via WS?

I faintly remember something like this. Something about making WAR more versatile or whatever.

Ill look for the source.

That was stated at the Fan Festival. It'll probably come either in today's merit additions or in a future update.


Shuriken would be the single most powerful DD weapon in the game if they weren't so terrifyingly expensive. Even Cashell or Rooi would be hard pressed to afford Fumas for long. Let's look at the (terrifyingly expensive) Fuma Shuriken. Its stats are D:72, Dly:192. Looking at this logically, that's a Dagger or Katana equivalent delay, but a two-handed Great Katana equivalent damage rating. It's higher than any readily available Staff and equal to the damage rating of Claustrum.

To give this even better perspective, most endgame weapons have an estimated generic dps (D / (delay/60) of about 10. Fuma Shurikens have an estimated dps of 22.5. On top of all of this, the "Sweet spot" for Throwing is point blank...

Holy hell. I never really stopped to think about it. I never used Shuriken as a NIN. I had a Rogesturin which lasted me through Kazham.

Iv always known that Shuriken had sweet damage, but I didnt know where the sweet spot was. Yea, if they werent so damn expensive....

Just what end game ninjas need. Linkshell's requiring that they buy tools AND shruiken.....

Its sort of like Bst and cooking, having cooking lved for you is a great convience(sp), but if you don't and you need a particular jug that isn't in stock and can't find a crafter. Ie chopsuey chucky for maat if you wish. Then its a swift kick in teh nuts. And jug stacks can be very expensive depending on the jug of course.

I guess Ninja's need a good blacksmith around in their Content ID eh?

And yes your right about SE considering giving war an ability to throw their axes

 

[Kotsu]

Holy shit, Tag that's awesome! ^_^ Huge damage from it... Imagine combo'ing that with "Aim for the nuts"! That's Damage x2, Stun effect. Duration depends on Ranged Accuracy ^.~ TP affects the damage. That'd be fun

Then again, being hit in the nuts many times before (I have a big frickin' mouth and not all women approve >.>;; ) the effect of "Choke" would be even funnier ^_^ as we all know you can't breath if you get hit there good enough
