Request for more throwing weapons/more progression on them

Hello,

I find there are way too few "good" summonable throwing weapons out. The only ones I know that are not totally crap like summoned throwing daggers are: Seeker Darts (from Rack of Seeker Darts from rust trash named), Frost Shards (from some trash in PoFrost, rare as hell too it seems) and Skysplitters (from Mercury, Rust raid mob). At the moment the Skysplitters seem to be the best throwing item in game, overall stats dmg/delay. (once ure high tier, the skysplitter stats dont really cut it anymore tho)

I very often use throwing weapons, but unfortunatly I haven't had a chance to get a hopper of skysplitters yet and I am still using the real shitty seeker darts. (we killed mercury several times, but he never dropped one - now we are rarely doin him because we usually fight much higher tiered stuff)

Its really depressing that none of the higher tiered zones ToT, Thaz (idk is there a bow?), Sanctum etc etc. dont have any throwing items they drop. Bows on the other hand drop all over the place - but for me as a bard and for monks and some other classes a bow is not an option for range dps.

I hope that more throwing items with a more linear progression could be implemented (maybe there are some in ikisith i dont know). This also goes for lower levels off course, but I cannot say much about that really since I am not affected by that anymore. (maybe someone else could list what lower level throwing weapons there are)

Thanks for reading, pls say what you think about this.
 
so many have read this and nobody has to say anything? positive or negative?

I get the feeling I am the only one thats using thowing other than the fun of it hehe, or why else does nobody notice how few throwing items are out there?
 
i can actually agree with you on the fact that i wish for more throwing weapon options. the only 2 worth using are rare drops and not something that a guild will be like - - -
"oh what one of our rogues needs skysplitters from mercury? bah we will never kill him again mwhahahaha" or something to that effect.
As much as using/finding a bow is easier for a rogue that option usually does not work so well due to lack of 250 cap on archery for rogues and monks cant use bows so yeah...where be the throwing weapon love?
 
throwing

would def be nice to see more options along the teirs as far as throwing weapons for sure.
Im not to sure what the frost clicky summons though, did this already solve the upgrade to skysplitters?

Since I never bothered to know the stats of skysplitters, do the math yourself.
 
just heard frozen clicky is like 10min recast per 20 throwing items?

so def not even on pair with skysplitters =\
 
I want to add my support and a comment about skysplitters. In a casual conversation with thinkmeats he mentioned these never quite achieved the dps he meant for them to have. So if power was ever a concern, I don't think the threshold has been met just yet.
 
There is something wonky with throwing damage tables that just makes throwing bad dps.
Eg. hasted rogue with deadeye3 will be lucky to see ~100dps using skysplitters.

There really isn't a time where you would use them.
You can do more dps just jousting whirlwind and pressing backstab.

It could be the frozen claws proccing thing above would be the solution, in that you'd do most of your dps via procs. Alternately, you need a silly damage/delay ratio that just doesn't exist in game at the moment.
