Throwing Daggers for Assassins

no this isnt about perma sf or anything like that.

if you look at most assassins armor its covered with throwing knives so why dont u have throwing knives as a weapon?

im sure anet has thought about this and have got a load of skills to go with throwing knives, and im sure that lots of peolple would love to use throwing knives.

i would just like to hear peoples opinions on this.

thankyou in advance!

Edited by Celestial Beaver: Changed title to something more relevant

[Dancing Daggers] comes to mind.

he is asking for a weapon like a sword, axe etc, not a skill.
i dont see a use for a ranged assasin weapon

yes ok there r a few skills that r ranged but i want actual throwing knives in my players hand and skills designd specificly so they only work with throwing knives.

no that would be lame, this aint WoW

if u want to chuck daggers then i want to chuck my hammer (stormbolt ftw)

so definite no

I think it is a good idea
Unfortunately I doubt they could put it into the game now...but in GW2 perhaps

Good idea sins ftw gogogog more skills for all professions!

Lets just add more imbalanced crap into the game.

dunno how you'd implement this
this ain't assassin's creed y'know
if you find out how to lemme know for now it's /notsigned

Play a ranger or a para if you want to throw things.

And throwing axes for warriors.
/notsigned.

So basically what you're looking for is throwing knives as a new weapon...with maybe some Assassin skills to make better use of 'em?

Exactly why would you want a short-ranged weapon that deals almost no damage? If they did anything else they would be overpowered or inappropriate.

Knife throwing should be crossed-profession, like throw dirt should be, like "swift foot" should be (i just made that up) or dodging or any kind of things like that.

but say if you are dodging elemental damages, then only elementalist knows more then other classes to be able to dodge it with more dmg reduction,

No sorry?

They'd be way to underpowered or over powered. I can only think of them being good for sundering armor.

every profession in the game could have a throwing weapon, potentially. That doesn't mean they should implement it...

/not signed

Sins can use spears, rods and staves like anyone else. If you want throwing daggers, maybe the developers can give them to you but take away all the shadow-stepping skills, since you wont need them anymore as a ranged attacker... I think not.

If this idea would be implemented, it would either be so underpowered, no one would ever use it, or it would be so overpowered that Rangers would never be wanted in PvE again.

/notsigned

No no no. Let's leave out all the ninja/Assassin's Creed bs out of a class concept. /notsigned.

I'm not sure how an assassin throwing a dagger would replace the yellow numbers from splinter barragers though.
