Per Kodius from December of last year:

>"Hey guys, we decided that throwing will only factor in the base throwing skill. From now on offhand will be melee-only, and we will be designing new abilities with that in mind.
>The only benefit for keeping it would be so folks can easily train one more skill in combat (something we are trying to reduce). "

Should be one way or the other
