Parry with Throwing

[Cetric]

I've heard this explained several different ways.

So how does it work.

If you have a shield on a thrower, and have 100 parry, does it negate the hit chance penalty? what about 120 parry?

I tried this on a pvm char with 150 dex 120 parry, and i seemed to miss ALOT. took the shield off and it was fine.

sounds like it's bugged if you miss as if you have 0 parry and use a shield with throwing.

Maybe the bug is throwing and parry with no shield makes you never miss because that's what it seems like.

I tried the same thing last week Cetric, had a 120/120 throw/parry guy with 150 dex. I even had HCI over capped by 12% to negate the under-thrown penalty (still confused about that too btw) and couldn't hit a damn thing while a shield was equipped.

Seems like that the Devs want throwers to have bushido/ninja also? Lose the shield or miss your target all the time.

The throwing with a shield equipped hit chance penalty is not a penalty to HCI but the hit chance formula. The penalty with 120 Parry is a 20% reduction. So if one has a 100% chance to hit without a shield using throwing, they will now have a 80% chance to hit with the shield equipped.

Ahh... so just to be clear, you cannot completely negate the penalty, correct?

so say at 45hci in the hit chance and your opponent has 45dci, you would normally have a 50% chance to hit. Would this then be a 40% chance? Ehh regardless. 20% is a pretty hefty blow

So it's not effective at all gotcha.

I played around with this too, but appaerently a thrower with a shield is no feasible template.

Real shame!
