I feel like we need Winter here to say i made the class.


Throwing on leg is not meant to be the main reason to pick it. The talk i had with Terath said the same thing.

Tbh way too long to look through just to find the right quote but ill give it a go.

It has 2 modes that the comparison if we look at ab, for example, its 2h stats and 1h stats seem to be equivalent to a not as good dur and a not as good mortifer. Hence why i said 50/50 as years ago this was not the case as the 2h mode was where the stats were and the 1h mode was a "last resort". Think it may have been Winter that said the stats of Ab have been put as 50/50 idk this was years ago at this point.

We still have stuff like Rups were i think we can agree the "1h" mode does not hold a candle to the stats of the throwing hence why i said 90% on the throwing and 10 on that shity 1h.

What i suggest is moving Malice to more of a 55/45 or 60/40 with throwing still being the arguably better stated part of Malice. Then for Glory you could have it at the same % as Malice or i would make the throwing better at the cost of the 1h stats being not as good as they could be. eg 75/25.

Okay, now I understand what you meant. In my mind, ideally, I'd want Legionnaire weapons to be equally good in both throwing and one handed capability, as to allow players to choose what kind of Legionnaire they want to play - one handed focus with secondary throwing through using Swadian Courage or Excalibur, or throwing focus with secondary one-handed through using 50/50 weapons like Malice and Glory and no dedicated one-hander (or a mix of both). Currently, Malice is too short to really be a viable one-handed substitute so it would kind of make sense to be a weighted focus on throwing at somewhere like 60/40. I see Glory as practically a throwable sword, so I'd want it to be around 50/50 - good in one-handed and good in throwing. Currently, since it pulls its damage from polearm, that doesn't work, so it's really just a sub-par throwing spear at the moment. After the update, it should see some more love.

Why I'm not sure 50/50 would be a good idea is it may push to close to the 1hs.

Take Ab, for example
Between Dragon Sword and Mortifer we have the stats for 1h Ab 
Between Vgs and Dur we have the stats of 2h Ab 

being a 50/50 like Ab seems like the stats put it lower by half a level that's if a level was going from orange to all hero for example.

In saying this if Glory was a 50/50 the stats would be between twigs and rups, yes but the 1h would be between Exc and Mortifer. So the 1h on Glory would be as good as Illus or Ragnars.

Doing a 75/25 would put Glory even closer to Rups however now its 1h mode should be idk Ab level ish?





That's like 1/10th of the talk we had. I'm sure i could have quoted something better but that will do.  

You can see the plain for Legs throwing items is not meant to be a pure throwing item. 
Leg throwing items will have the same number of "points" as mp throwing weapons but with more of the "points"  are spent on the 1h stats. 
The class is more of a 1h hero than you think.


Throwing got added onto Leg for the same problem Senti and Avent face. 1h heroes need help as that skill and others like it is not that useful in rag as you have pointed out. Throwing on Leg is to make up for this problem but not to fix that problem. 

Part of that post and the main topic on jugg/halb/ranger asked for a reason to play heroes like Leg. Leg has a reason to play it and i don't need to say it again.


Btw
Guess you don't know but for some time ago Legs throwing was not even as good as a tr4 pikeman and at the start, it didn't have any if i remember right.
