Throwing axes are designated as strength weapon. I’m assuming this is a bug as they are a ranged weapon. At least I hope this is a bug…
Given that they’d mostly be used with other strength weapons, I think its not bugged. The only agility weapon it can be used with is the shortsword I believe. Whereas strength has mace, axe & (regular) swords, which it changes the heavy combos of to boot.
I can see that, but they can also be used with Javelines. Jav in primary hand, TA in off hand. So you can do Jav & Shield, Jav & TA. I personally would like to see TA be categorized as an agility weapon since it is a throwable, and at least in my experience, is used in PvP to throw and cripple escaping players to close the gap on them. While they have the spin to win melee use, it seems their utility IMO is more as a ranged weapon/agility item. In my mind their use even as a melee weapon feels like a ‘finesse’ fit over strength. But that’s just my 2 cents. Obviously there’s going to be diverging opinions here and I’m ok with that. With their changes to the attribute tree, I can see the TA going either way. I’m just submitting it as a bug report because it seemed off to me, and with all the other mistakes they’ve made on 3.0 that seem to be oversights, I at least wanted to have them double check this.

You make a fair point tbh. FC could go middle ground and have it scale on the higher of the two stats. Not sure how they’d tag it but its an idea
