I've played dozens of assassins. All the way back to hellfire.

Never played one above 40 for many hours since edges, however.

In my mind, throw was always the old boring of assassins, with all the new hotness of the kicks and stalking and assassinating available.

But I get the impression recently reading this forum that accepted wisdom during this age of "maybe 2/3 edges tops" is that the edge that let's you throw other assassin's and hand specs is the no-brained goto edge you should aim for.

Really? On top of the kicking edges?

Can someone make clear for me the power gamey argument why boring old throw is most important to edge?

Can someone offer a power gamey argument for choosing a different edge? Perhaps based on what types of foes you may have?
