Throwing and parry

[Nosfentor]

AS THE UI GUIDE SAYS:

""Shield Penalties
All the throwing weapons are one-handed in nature which allows the thrower to equip a shield or other item in their off hand. The player will suffer a defense and hit chance penalty for using a shield while using a throwing weapon. These penalties can be offset by investing skill points into Parrying. Player’s with no skill points in the Parry Skill will now have a minimum chance to hit.""

So.. If I train parry to 120 with my thrower do I get penalty at all?

There is still a penalty, the exact documentation was lost years ago.

@Kyronix and @Bleak - Would you happen to have calculation for this or know more information that can be shared?

Lots of us still wondering about this.

From one of Bleak past post
[Throwing] - Throwing & Parry
At 120 Parry you will have a 10% DCI penalty. Example a player has 50 DCI without using parry, shield, and throwing weapon; Their new DCI will be 45 at 120 parry when using a shield and throwing weapon.
