It appears that Lancers are also able to use throwing javalins. I'm wondering how effective this would be. Will it be effective enough to actually rely on just range attack for dmg out put? What skills will be incorporated with this ranged fighting style. Will archer be worth lvling up to aquire some skills from this class? This is just a thought of mine. I really dont have no intention in doing this, but I would like to test it out when I'm able. Anyone else think about this?
It would be a different playing style I'm sure. I would like to know of anyone elses thoughts about this subject. This is just speculation.

Tough to say right now. It's definitely an interesting idea. Based on their descriptions, I doubt that any of our weaponskills can be used at range with a Javelin. So if anything, you'd have to be moving back and forth, closing to use your WS.

I always found Angon to be kinda useless. I hope that whatever this would be turns out better than that.
The more I train, the harder I get. The harder I get, the more lethal I am. The more lethal I am, the fewer opponents. The fewer opponents, the less to lose. The less to lose, the more I let up. The more I let up, the more room for mistakes. The more room for mistakes, the more I train.

Expends an Angon to lower an enemy's defense. Physical defense of target approximately -20%
Wat?
Angon was never for attacking with just a swap in for the Angon move.
I'm guessing you won't need Archer abilities to use throwing javelins, since it sounds like javelins are Lancer-specific throwing items, much like Marauders get Franciscas, Pugilists get chakrams, etc.
My question is how they're going to implement it. A couple years ago when I played WoW, my Rogue had throwing knives, and they had durability that could be repaired. After one of the patches, they didn't have durability anymore, and could be thrown repeatedly without any apparent negative effects. If you have to buy javelins like you bought Angons in FFXI, I probably won't use them that much unless the benefits of doing so outweigh their cost.

It isn't what dies that matters, it's what dies inside you while you're living that does.
