Can anyone suggest any Dwarven Thrower builds?

14 war domain cleric,6 dh is possible as choice to be usefull as a healer as a backup plan. 14 paladin would be more con and aoe. Both got cha as trance so charisma to hit from illusionist mb. Vanguard enhancements works with a throwing weapon in hand. Sheild stun or charge as cc on a ranged toon would be funny to see. I thought about this before.

What are drip pics? I tried googling it and got a bunch of people getting IVs.
from google:
"Drip" is slang for a stylish, expensive, or fashionable outfit and overall look, often highlighting trendy clothing, jewelry, and accessories. Originating in hip-hop culture to describe being "dripping" with luxury, it is now a widely used term for high-fashion, confidence, and swagger.

So the person is requesting pictures of the cosmetics.

Ug. Sometimes slang, modern or historic, really misses the mark for me. "Drip" doesn't sound stylish to me... it sounds like something gross, gooey, or dull, as in "don't be a drip." I will certainly take pics of whatever character hubby comes up with but don't expect luxurious; his characters are brutal, roguish, or loco in appearance.

Well people saying something was bad didn't sound like a compliment either. Calling something dope that didn't get you high seemed a bit weird as well.

The one thing to know about all throwing builds is that they are 100% end-game ONLY. They are extremely unpleasant to level as a thrower. Level as INQ then swap to throw 29+ after you equip your end-game gear.

Here are a couple of mine. The dagger thrower is old and lower DPS than today's Shuriken & Repeaters (my current ranged is a Repeater). The shuriken is more recent but I'm pretty sure Fisto's Inviso-Cannon style beats it for DPS.

I have a nice inviso laid out in builder, but have not yet played or posted it.

BTW, shuriken builds usually have zero self-healing unless you play a race that can provide it, such as Warforged or Bladeforged.
I can't think of anything, but the concept is funny and creative. I should definitely try to do one. 100+ con and throw axes or hammers at stuff could be cool.

I've never tried to cosmetic a thrown or ranged weapon. I have a suspicion that if it works, the missiles in flight won't be skinned, but it would be a fun experiment.
You're correct - it works, but launched stars not skinned. Currently run with cosmetic Return to Sender, pretend to be Postman. 8)

I was gonna post trebuchet build instructions, but then put them in the wrong thread somehow.

Wouldn't be as funny now.

GL with it.

My dwarven thrower has a keg as a tower shield full of javelins that hucks javelins with str to attack and str to damage. The str to attack is just about force going through armor and obstacles. The force of the javelins can drive opponents backward. SSG is just working on the implementation of the mechanics.

This thread makes me miss the Laugh emoji as a reaction so much. 🥺 Why exactly was it taken away again?
Apparently some people were stalking a particular forum member with laugh emojis. Laughing at his posts was probably better than responding to them, but I digress. Instead of punishing the emoji taunters, they decided the rest of the planet can't be trusted with a laugh emoji. So here we are.

That sounds ridiculous but this is DDO so par for the course I guess. 🤷‍♀️

Obviously you must mean this weapon, right?

Don't throwing axes and hammers use STR to hit & damage now? So maybe max-STR bard 3 / Dragonlord 6 / ranger or Dark Hunter 11 with Swashbuckling + T3 Dragonlord for STR Trance + T5 Deepwood Stalker.
This inspired me to dust off one of my old builds, which was a STR-based bard / ranger / fighter thrower, from the dark days when we didn't even have Simple Thrown Weapon Expertise nor Multitude of Missiles to juice our throwers.

get off my lawn kids

Premise: max-STR SWF + thrower build. Because oh my gods you will not enjoy leveling an axe-thrower as purely ranged unless you're a masochist who loves trolling their party. So the idea is to soften up enemies at range, then switch to melee when they get close. Best part of this build is you can easily respec into either a purely handaxe build with Tier-5 Dragonlord; or LR/ER into DEX-based simple thrower when you're done torturing yourself. :p
