it's still semi-useful despite the cooldown

Doesn't the new cool-down improve it?

It was useful before the patch changing the cooldown.
It's true.

I don't play giant, but I've always liked the attack.

Yes! Another range giant, in Ruairi as well, but I don't think that's your main.
Anyway, Throwing Attack is great. It actually kills in PvP. Get a critical hit with rank 1 in a 10% duel odds are you will one shot them, combine it with Jousting Javelins for maximum effect, no escape there. It's also extremely useful in Guild Battle combined with Bone Atlatl, that is before Marty messed things up and it can deadly almost anyone transformed players included.
The only thing that kills me and still does is the cooldown, especially when it misses. Once you miss that's really annoying. Even though at rank 1 it is apparently 99% accuracy, it's actually lower if the enemy is running it feels like 80% to me. I have been saying this but DevCat should really do something about that cooldown, or at least give a fast/fast loading ranged attack to supplement if there's a miss on regular Throwing Attack.

Well, it's a stupid short video of me using it in EvG, it'll probably be up in a few hours or days. With a few real giants and Rank 1 Throw, we'll be unstoppable.

With what you've just said, I'm tempted to rank it on my giant :$

oh yeah that alt is also on Alexina so I can't go elf hunting with you guys

Aww. [S]Oh well the elves here are 1337 h4x anyway, shooting you from maximum vision range[/s].
Get a Bone Atlatl, it's the best one because it has the most range and crit. Also some Long Javelins, that extra 15 max damage from Long Javelins goes a long way. Considering your max damage range is 130 with Short Javelin equipped: 130x900%=1170, but with Long Javelin minus 10 from 130 then add 25 is 145: 145x900%=1305. You get an extra 135 damage.

Not for nothing but why are you alting in Alexina in the first place? Shouldn't you stay at your main server so you can get funds?
