Wands and Throwing Weapons
-
Hello to the folks at Ascension! Love your work.
I might be the only one out there on this but I've always felt like wands and throwing weapons were tragically underutilized. Is it possible to get hunter shots to work with throwing weapons and/or wands? I could understand maybe balking at the wand idea but throwing weapons have been a big part of warcraft all the way up until, well, WoW. You got your WC1 spear throwers, your WC2 axe throwers, your WC3 berserker throwers, and so on. I've always wanted to play a sweet troll axe thrower. I figure if anyone could do it, you guys could.

@Skaalgrim Chu wan' ax?
100% agreed. I was actually hoping that if you were to transmog a thrown weapon over another ranged like a bow/crossbow/gun, it would use the thrown, purely visually. This would be awesome, but I don't think it works like that... yet.
Another option would be to make specific epic/legendary REs that support this playstyle and let you use all your ranged abilities with a thrown / wand equipped. This would make for some interesting itemization and playstyle. -

I had suggested a "Headhunter" legendary or epic RE that allowed you to use a thrown weapon for ranged weapon attacks, with an added ability that you could use to periodically boost your ranged attack speed at the expense of taking more damage.
(I felt that as cool as it would be to use a thrown weapon for ranged attacks, there needed to be some kind of bonus attached to make it worth the slot and the WC3 Headhunters at a "berserk" ability which had the suggested effect.)
