There were changes to thrown weapons in the latest patch (2.0.1). This makes them useful as stat sticks. As a warrior, ranged weapons are for pulling, sometimes for minor hits while rooted in PvP, but mainly to boost stats. As I've made Durambar a weapon master (297 bows, 298 staves, 299 guns, all other weapons are 300) in all but thrown weapons (never paid for that training) as they were so useless for so long.
Having looked at thottbot.com and found a couple thrown weapon skills, I'm curious to see how it really is on the live realm, especially for warriors. Is it instant? Can you throw on the run? One version has a throw range of 5-30 yards, one 8-30 yards (that is the same as bows, guns, crossbows). The instant attack will be much better for pulling, PvP, everything, but I'm also curious about the range. Granted, the data is from the uncategorized spells, so the 5 yard min range could be an NPC attack, but that's why I'm asking here. I would really like to know these things prior to me training the skill, because once I train it, I'll have a neurotic compulsion to train it to 300 before the expansion, and I'd prefer to deal with that compulsion only if I'll be happier with thrown weapons. I'm hoping a few minutes is all it would take to check this out for me, and keep me from hours of grinding a useless weapon. If they prove useful, I'll gladly deal with my completionist quirks.
