Four cursed daggers in a round might help a bit with certain recalling priests.


Considering necro's don't get second attack. I'm going to guess one.

Do you actually need skirmish to use throwing spears? I mean, wouldn't auto fire basically do the same thing?

I guess since they can't be thrown into a different room you're right.

Regardless! It's still only such a small part of the game, and if it really was all that great more people would be using it regularly.

Yeah, I remember back before the armor change. Crossbows were really [REDACTED], weren't they? Everybody said so. "I only use xbows to lure" and stuff like that. Then Revin made that giant MC merc specced in crossbow. God, what an idiot. That giant couldn't kill anything at all. Crossbows suck--I know, because if they didn't suck, more people would have used them.

You don't have to be a necro to throw a cursed weapon.

I think the point of the question was to ask 'do I throw as many weapons in a round as I have attacks available to me, or is it limited to 1?'.. with the understanding necros couldn't get more than one.'

Auto fire works with the shoot command.

And if you skirmish, you automatically start tossing as soon as you enter the room.

Krakish? When he speced x-bow they were decent. Now with the armor changes you have to be an idiot to spec xbow.

Have you tried to play a merc specced in a throwing weapon?

I have, as has at least one other person I know, we both gave up on it.

Good try though.

Yeah, I wouldn't really have expected anything else. I was thinking more along the lines of a barbarian trying to reach the 3rd row.

Unless, of course, you use one of the million and a half ways to get addy-quality light/energy armor. MV isn't that hard to get, and energy suits aren't usually taken.
