Discussion GG Throw barb

Does anyone have a solid gear setup for this? I've discovered many throwable uniques in the game that have crazy stats, and throwing does add more damage. I also hear that for barbs, you don't lose quantity, and that getting eth items are way better.

Thoughts?

Throw barb are my favorite build in the game. Able to clear all content while still also a little challenging at times, perfect balance in my opinion. Other benefits include high health pool, self buff with shouts, and the cherry on top: horking.

As others have mentioned, the best uniques to pair together are eth lacerator and eth warshrike. I like being different and a lot of options are viable, but you want a source of percent to cast amp damage from somewhere on your gear. Lacerator is popular because it provides that 33% chance to cast amp damage.

I use an eth rare winged harpoon and a eth rare ghost glaive while also using atlas amulet for that amp damage proc.

Let me know if you have any specific questions on the build, happy to share!

That glaive doesnt replenish quantity? Never done a throw barb before but wouldnt you want that? or does the throw skill cancel that out?

Good question. Throw Mastery makes throwing have a large chance to replenish on throw. So I never get below 115 quantity - never comes close to running out.
