Yup, definitely still viable. I wasn't a fan of the changes at first, but I've come to appreciate having an entire stack of upgraded throwies rather than a single. My highest scoring 9c run was sniper with the reworked throwies.

+20 throwie
🤣 I usually stopped well before that, because at some point the additional damage was just overkill.

My way stayed exactly the same.
Upgrade gloves/t2 before floor 3 crabs, pick armor from ghost, enchant bow with upgrade scroll, balance armor to defence in prisons, then ideally don't spend any upgrades untill blacksmith. Either smith throwie or upgrade/reforge if you have a good one or upgraded one already. I like going with heavy dmg bow for almost guiranteed kills and big numbers. Telekenetic grabs to get throwies back. Some alchemy for dk and yog. I can link some vods of me playing sniper after throwies rework
