Dwarf with throwing wep + grenade specialty Elp!

Post by Cooto3s »

Okay so I got this dwarf now, and I figured it might be nice with a throwing wep and then go for a bomb tech spec. Although I have a problem... When using a throwing wep should I go for strength or perception?! I got the highest possible in dexterity. So which ones would you say is good? I mean perception is for ranged weps but strength increases the damage, does it not? I'm confused.. lol.. I don't do much damage, atleast not as much as I did with my Melee,dodge and strength character.


EDIT: Also, What does flash grenades do? I mean it says "Blinded" But they can still attack? O.O

I don't think STR does anything for grenades. What does your manual say?
Generally, you should only be concerned by the stat that's linked to throwing weapons.
I think "Blinded" means that they have a very high miss chance.

Okay, they dont seem to miss anything though :p but it sounds right.. Their quite useless anyways lol. I was wondering if strength increased the throwing wep damage? I have one of those boomerang like weps :p Should I go for perception or strength ?

I don't think STR adds to damage for throwing weapons. Perception adds to your range, I think. The manual knows this better than I do.

ye reading the manual might help :p Thanks.


EDIT: Okay so the manual said Dexterity... Sigh.. So throwing kinda sucks eh? I like 10 shot lvl 3s when I'm lvl 20 myself, Throwing master, and my dex is as high as it can get..
