Thanks to the NA update to the Official Site we have all this wonderful info translated. I heard in the past that Lancers would be able to throw Javelins. Now, after reading each of the class descriptions for the Disciples of War it appears everyone will have access to a ranged weapon:


Gladiator: "The gladiator's proficiency with blades also extends to those hurled at range, such as throwing knives"

Lancer: "Since then, the guild has greatly expanded its armories to include a variety of weaponry, such as the throwing javelin.

Pugilist: "Many among them accomplish this by using throwing weapons such as the chakram to momentarily daze their enemies while they move in for the kill."

Marauder: "Throwing axes such as the francisca supplement the maruader's arsenal, making them fearsome adversaries even at range."

Ranger: "The guilds teachings cover a variety of projectile weapons, down to the simplest throwing rock"


Looks like we may have to roll a dice to determine who the puller will be this time around :onion80:

Side effects may include: dry mouth, nausea, painful rectal itch, hallucination, and death.
Summoning is not for everyone. Consult your doctor before use.

This should eliminate "need puller!" in LFG Chat now, glad to see it! I'm thinking SE is trying to make nearly any party combo useful in this game, which I'm all for.

I agree, plus it makes sense why each of the disciplines would be effective with the thrown version of there chosen weapon. If you're a knife guy then you know everything there is to know about knives, same with axes, spears etc. I'm all for it ^_^

I can't wait to be throwing rocks at smaller or week creatures and kill them in one hit.

Ch1efer picks up rock.
Ch1efer targets Wild Rabbit.
Ch1efer throws Rock at Wild Rabbit.
Ch1efer killed Wild Rabbit.
Ch1efer skins the Wild Rabbit.
Ch1efer has a new hat.

:D
