Oh, I'm aware that boomerangs are good in video games, I've used such things before, it's just the same greatsword that's optimized for the separating of head and neck will not fly very far when thrown (except maybe by someone with the physical prowess of the Barbarian) and most certainly will not come back, unless you use some sort of ancestral spirit to guide it or some such thing.
THIS IS A FUCKING MAGICAL GAME...
I mean you can allow barbs to leap huge distances but not have weapons come back to them, no...
He has that shockwave thingy, and besides, you throw weapon, enemies get chopped, you look around in terror as you realize you killed all the enemies in front, but the ones at the side now are attacking your defenseless self. In the words of Mai'q the Liar:
Maybe you should try the heXen II demo. They had a Crusader with a boomerang hammer. It was godly.
The way it was is like this:
you throw a weapon, it flies in one direction hitting everything and flying through, while you can move wherever you want, and then it returns to you, hitting everything, again. It's a pretty cool skill/weapon to have, and it's AoE, too.
I mean, you have to be strategic, you can't just throw it and stand still, that's just dumb.
This ability is totally magical, though, because unless a weapon IS a boomerang, it would not come back.
But, anyway, idea wise, I like this. Especially as an extension of double throw, or throwing mastery. Also allows you to use alternate weapons for throwing... *imagines a huge hammer flying into enemies*
I'm a bit annoyed at the barbarian - too similar to the old one. I hope he's more original than he looks. It currently seems he has an energy source that is independent from blue potions, I hope that's true. I never heard anything dumber than a barbarian warrior using mana for his skills.

It should fly through. That's funner.
