throw barb uber runner?

im making a throw barb and im wondering if it would work in uber tristam.

any thoughts and advice would be great.|||hmm, you might have trouble with that one...throws don't do nearly as much damage compared to normal melee barb attacks, and the same goes for throwing weapons compared to melee weapons. One thing that makes melee best for ubers is that crushing blow works in full force, while with ranged attacks it's only half as effective (or atleast bows.. you might look up throws, this is a big assumption). So if you can find some ethereal throwing axes, maybe rares with high ed and max damage mods and quantity restoration, maybe then you could be an effective uber runner... atleast you'll have a fun build that isn't very common. I like the uncommon |||For items I'd guess dual eth lacerators(for damage, amplify damage and open wounds)

Guilliames face helm (crushing blow, deadly strike)

CoH (resist, damage reduce, skills and damage to demons)

LoH ( IAS, fire res and HUGE damage to demons)

Highlords (IAS, light res and deadly strike)

Gores

Seems like that'd be good, even if nerf'd

Don't forget to check guides too.|||I think the guides are inadequate. Base build is max bo, throwing mastery and double swing, with 1 point in double throw, battle command, natural resists, increased run speed (throwers need to reposition themselves alot). I wonder how grim ward would work though, to keep the monsters away from the ubers. If you want to be a pure thrower, rest of the points in double throw (which only increases ar), and shout.|||Quote:

Yeah i think you'd wanna go max on mastery, double throw, double swing and BO. I wouldn't consider shout except for a few points at higher lvls.|||hi everyone, i would very much like that thread to be revived.|||It seems possible and barlocs post seems to make sense.|||Quote:

You'll have to have dracs for the lifetap, and therefore you wouldn't want the lacerators. Amplify damage will override lifetap and you'll be dead |||what about howl skill...do we really need life tap...im wondering about the gloves...maybe some with crushing blow? And what about the plate...|||Throwing weapons count as missle weapons, so hence CB gets a massive nerf.

You wouldn't dare to attempt trist with a bowzon, so why with a throw barb? If you had any hope, you'd have to max howl, but im not sure if that would scare trist mobs away.
