So this is not just a simple suggestion thread, this will be a compelation of any ideas I come up with for the throwing class. Entire suggestions will be added to this single thread rather than creating a new thread for every little thing I come up with for this particular subject. I will notify in the comments if there are any updates to the OP. I want to add knives, special non consumable weapons armor, changes to current weapons, etc.
At first glance I was a bit skeptical about the new throwing class, it seems like a needless addition, but now I see a good opportunity for some neat playstyles to be be made. I see a middleground between melee and rangers with this new addition essentially. Obviously it's gonna need more stuff to be made a full on class, and that's what this suggestion is for.
