thrown weapons skill

[Alias]

What stats and skills (besides "thrown weapons" of course, duh) affect the AS when hurling thrown weapons, both aimed and unaimed?

I also heard somewhere (forgot where) that it uses bolt AS/DS. This true?

[Latrinsorm]

It uses the ranged formula, but with thrown skill. I don't know what the ranged formula is.

You realize that bolt AS is used with bolt spells like fire spirit and shock/fire/water/acid/etc.? Even if you mean ranged AS, that would require ranged weapon skill.

Your AS is thrown skill + dex bonus + enchant..

Thrown also gets that weird (CM ranks + Perc ranks) / 2 bonus where CM ranks and Perc ranks cap at 2 * level.

[The Ponzzz]

It's (STR + DEX bonus) /2 + (CM+Perc)/4 + weapon enchant.

It uses ranged formula so there is NO DS push down(ranged DS is already low).

Also, the big kicker, is that only voln/col/heroism/bravery give the FULL AS bonus to your AS. 509, 606 do NOT offer a bonus to your AS but to your enbumerance(huge issue with thrown weapons). Surge of strength offers partial AS bonus and allows you to hurl larger weapons... Think that coveres everything...

oh yea forgot the thrown weapon skill too, hehe... But 3xing in perc does not help, max benefit is 2x in all skills...

aiming ftw

[The Ponzzz]

I 1x ambush for aiming... Its JUST like ranged. Strongly level based. If you really need to have one shot kills, you shouldn't be hurling anyways...

[hectomaner]

but you CAN get 1 shot kills, very easily, JUST like ranged

[The Ponzzz]

Yea... I generally get them more with a two handed spear toss to the eye, but I find my handaxe to the left leg and javelin to the right eye to be the most effective way without much failure...

Depending on a build and what you wanna get out of your over all training, 2x ambush, CMs, Throwing and perception is very easy to do...

And for the record, at level 30, my rough esitmate on my hitting the area I aimed for is about 75%

Keep in mind I only uphunt 3 level if any... Getting pulled from hiding can end me quick...

[hectomaner]

hiding... meh...
