Javelins, Jarids, Axes.

About a week ago, I was playing Mount and Blade, a axe-thrower, jaelin, and jarid user. I threw a jarid at a charging aegir Knight and it only did 5 damage... strange?

 

[Sir Prince]

It's happened to me.

 

[Cataphract]

Definately strange to me, i cant recall that happening, jarids should make at least 10+ damage to any highly armored opponent no matter how low level/skilled you are.

 

[Bigwig]

They should also have a speed bonus if you're on a horse.

 

[Sir Prince]

Most of my shots that hit that were taken from horse back are flukes.
I use jarids AGAINST cavalry.

 

[Reiel]

What does that matter Scamp? My point is, no matter how weak you are, een if your power throw is 1, a charging Knight getting something thrown at him, even a jhavelin or a rock, will cause some intense pain and/or injury.

 

[Sir Prince]

I tohught you meant throwing it while on horseback, sorry if I sounded mean, I didn't mean to. But yeah, your right. I am not sure if I have ever gotten a speed bonus while on foot and throwing something... I might have.

 

[Crazy Eyes]

That's definately weird, even if you hit him in the pinky toe. I've never had anything like that happen to me.

 

[Reiel]

It's fine Scamp,
But seriously, was it jsut a fluke of the game? Or was it jsut crappy throwing? It's all wierd!

 

[WipperSnipper]

No its just the factor's of plate armor , i have a character who does throwing ONLY and that happen's to me quite often against heavily armored units such as Dark knights or Knights.

I use Javalins , throwing axes , throwing knives and jarids

 

[holybandit]

Throwing rocks hurt the most? Somebody ever threw a rock at you? Hurts much more then a javelin

 

[Sir Saladin]

How in the hell can a javelin through the skull hurt less? Oh yeah the brain has no pain nerves. I only like getting stoned hippy style.

 

[holybandit]

lmao, your so frekin funny

I personally prefer archery. Point blank stunlock is easier with that. You can use shields with throwing though.

I think you do get some form of speed bonus against cavalry charging towards you though.

While sidestepping a charging knight and then slashing him with my 2Her, I killed him with one swipe, doing 80 damage or so. On foot, I do 40-50 with one slash. Not sure if this works for missiles too.
