My vote is for Weaving and I'm a despised Human.. Pffffttt.
I used throwing daggers as a fetch tool when I was soling before I
got Bellow. It worked like a low mana attack spell to 'hook' mobs
before someone else grabs them. Worked great in the desert of Roe to
hook beetles and spiders. I quite using them when I got Bellow but I
have noticed that the delay with Bellow can be frustrating and was
just thinking of buying some shirakin(sp)(they're cheaper and lighter)
last night. No delay.
I find them only useful as a 'hooking' device they do to little
damage and cost to much to be useful as a mainline combat choice.

I used to get questions about this all the time when I carried a mino axe
and a drum or mandolin. You CAN carry a weapon and an instrument at the
same time, the problem is you can't use the weapon in a conventional way.
Before I got dual wield I would put my mino axe in my range weapon slot and
my intrument in my secondary mellee slot. This gave the appearance that I
was carrying a weapon and an instrument. Too bad the only way I could use
the weapon would be to throw it at that point.
On a related note, have any of you bards used throwing skill at all? I've
found it to be a collosal waste of money so far, but maybe I am doing it
wrong. :)
