Hope someone (wis) actually reads this, but the recent 'uptune' to throw
weight, seems to make us centaurs do even less dam. I did some testing with
my modest strength at 150, a +20dam set and 100 throw weight, and I scored
about 50% 'cut' with my reaver axe. That is what skilled tinmen hit with a
generic axe naked.

I for one would gladly sacrifice the extra attacks and take a stat-hit or some
other tune to compensate, but this is just ridicoulus.

Throw weight tune has been active several weeks, and it is not the thing that
is making centaurs hit less. Centaurs have been shitty offtanks since the
damage divider fix, which means that they get only half benefit of +dam.
You're obviously hitting 50% cut and 50% tear, and tinman in your example
would be hitting 50% lcut and 50% cut, so "50% cut" isn't always equal, if you
get what I mean. Centaurs have ogre-like (best in the game) hitpoints, yet
they do semi-decent casters (better than tinmen, catfolk, wolfmen), so they do
deserve the tune they're in right now.

And in case you knew all this, I fail to see what was the point of posts.

A stated in bs, point of post was that since the 'uptune' we do less dam with
all the affecting factors (size87,throw weight100) pretty high, kinda odd.
