Throwing weapon bugs

[Albion Child]

This post began in the Workshop but quickly turned into something much more suitable for this forum.



First I was having problems with my 1h axe/throwing axe barb. He seemed to do practically no damage with the thrown weapon even though the character screen showed it as doing enough damage to consistently 1 hit kill the monsters of act 1 normal. However, this problem was solved by switching the thrown axe from right hand to left hand and using the "Throw" button instead of "left hand throw." (here is where the other thread ended)

However, I outgrew my throwing axes and found a superior hurlbat. From here on the problem got much worse. When the hurlbat is equiped in the right hand along with a Naga axe in the left, the "Throw" button becomes red and he is unable to throw the hurlbat. When the Naga is unequipped, or when the Naga is replaced by any other throwing weapon, his ability to throw is restored. With the Naga equipped and the skill button set for "left hand throw" he is able to throw the hurlbat, but like before, does practically no damage. (without the Naga equiped, and the button on "throw" his damage is enough to badly hurt most monsters. With balanced axes or throwing axes equipped, he is able to use "throw" even with the Naga euipped, but not so with the Hurlbat.

I have tried using a different set of hurlbats as well as using a different 1 handed weapon in place of the Naga. The results were exactly the same as before. I have also tried equiping the hurlbat in both hands and experimented with equiping the hurlbat and naga in different order. This also changed nothing.

I have noth yet been able to find an exceptional version of throwing axes(scalper I think) to experiment with.


Is this a know bug? If it is, will the elite throwing axes (winged axes I think) react in the same way as hurlbats or as balanced axes? I ask because if they will work in the same way as the hurlbat, it is not worthwhile to continue this build.
