Throwing weapons and skill itself

first off i would like to mention that even though it isnt that great of a skill throwing has saved me a few times on my warrior with kiting methods. but i found some interesting quirks about throwing that possibly are a bug or just normal, i dunno. The main issue ive seen is that Throwiing is a ranged style of attack yet ive seen mobs parry and riposte said thrown item which im not sure is intended or not; but arrows dont seem to have that problem.

The second issue is that most throwing items are lame except a few things ive seen (Manslayer Shuriken, Fungal Shrooms of Doom, Skysplitter, Bag of Burning Rocks, and Seeker Darts from Rack of Seeker Darts clicky.) The Manslayer and Skysplitter are lore items and 1 is a nodrop raid item so obviously no one would really throw them. Fungal Shrooms arent exactly plentiful to be effective and The Burning Rocks from Bag of Burning Rocks pretty much only do damage is they proc. so pretty much the seeker dart rack is the only effective throwing weapon in the game which unfortunately even they are laughable due to the fact that they only have a range of 50 and i tested how far that was and honestly if you were near a rampage/whirlwind mob of sorts im thinking you would still be range of the rampage/whirlwind due to the lack of range.

so after that nasty block of text all i am asking is that either more decent throwing weapons be introduced to the game in some form (maybe smithed or tradeskilled ones that are decent) and/or that the seeker darts have their range increased to at least 75. i Also apologize for not showing any item boxes and or stats cause i dont know how to do the fomelo inspection link thingy.

thanks for advance for any feedback or opinions.

and once again sorry for block of text.

Just thought I would pick this out and clear something up.

Skysplitters are not lore and not individually a raid drop, and very viable to throw as a ranged weapon.
 
Skysplitters are summoned by a hopper. You get 20/click.

That said, even with high end throwing items (is there something better than Skysplitters?) throwing dps sucks so stupidly hard it isn't even funny.
I'd love to see it re-looked at and/or balanced.
 
I'd also love to see some Paladin throwables that'd do something Paladin-ish. One thing I thought of was to make Holy Water throwable and it have a Consecrate proc and a base of ae hate vs undead guaranteed (as long as it "hits")

As things sit, Paladin's have throwing skill, but we have absolutely nothing worth throwing.
 
ah thanks on the skysplitter info. didnt really ever see one before so wasnt sure if it came with more than 1.
 
Dude, I've taken that little summoning pouch easy t-maps and kited stuff for fun with that - I was hitting for 200+ with 1 throwing skill. There's really more viable options than you're listing, and there would probably be more if throwing items were craftable via fletching...
