Sadly I have to agree. All of the transferring and the graveyard camping is what finally made me stop playing this bracket. Would love it, if one day it would start to balance out. But that is a very desperate wish that will most likely never come true .
A thrown weapon has more "Utility" because its cast time is just a small fraction compared to a gun/bow. So the loss of a few stats by picking up the Thrown is acceptable.
Going to be honest. You may have a very hard time getting one for 50k. They are no longer available to get with points anymore. So the only way to have one is to have gotten the code for it before UDE lost their deal with Blizz. Just trying to be helpful ^.^
