Rangers - Throwing Knives?

[itzmak]

I was just thinking of some good class additions and throwing knives for rangers just kinda hit me. I think it would be pretty cool but it might take some additional coding? (Not sure). Tell me what you think!

I Love it personally, reminds me of the Ranger collection by Flannagan (i think that was the authors name). Throwing knives would be a great weapon in the rangers aresnal, there should be some restrictions though like the range should be short and damage shouldnt be too many hearts, you must use something in your inventory such as flint. One flint=one throwing knife. It would be a great idea!

I like the idea to use flint and I also like the short range.

Yea flint was the closest thing I could think of as a throwing knife since it is used for the tips of arrows. Maybe in a official texture pack made by Aph, she could make flint look like throwing knives. I think it is a great idea, I cant believe I didnt think of throwing knives for rangers . Lets hope Kainzo decideds to take a peek at the thread

Maby its a flint and a stick?
without the feather

 

[Relentless97]

Yea thats a good idea, I forgot they could code to take them both away once you use the skill Derp

So far

Throwing Knives Abilites:
Throws a razor sharp knife that deals x amount of damage
Takes away one flint and stick
Short Range
Ranger Ability
Takes away x amount of mana

whats the difference from bows? sounds redundant to me.

 

[Relentless97]

Dont need as much stuff to make, it takes away mana, shortrange, little less damage

Waste of time to add something so boring. Add useful, interesting, or fun skills rather than more of the same. Ranged projectiles are already useless unless spammed most of the time and it is incredibly redundant. Any skill additions should be to make classes more balanced and funner to play, not add more skills that do the same thing at different ranges.

 

[Dsawemd]

The one thing that makes this interesting would be that mana loss is included, so it would be an UnSpammable ranged attack for Rangers, much like Caster's Fireball without the fire damage. However, it is still unnecessary, and probably a pain in the ass to add, with the new crafting recipe and new range coding and all that stuff I don't understand.
