i'd like to make a brawler barb with teleswap

I have 1 erep poon with 30ias, do I need ias on offhand?

is it basically just making a ww barb with javs and different skill allocation? perhaps death set instead

Brawler = throw/ww?
Yes you need ias on offhand (both for ww and throw)
Ik gloves+belt gives 25ias, so i'd stick with that rather than death.
Simply build your barb with spear mastery instead of axe and leave 1 in throw mastery and double throw

Might want a couple extra to throw mast to get crit levels up for throw. If you get ww from helm you have some extra pts anyways

one ladder i made a vs casters only brawler with 2x poons and a lance on swap.

the player would have to be dogshit to get hit by the lance side but plenty were. took 1k fg of Im_Blizzlike that ladder in a wager battle with it after he cried that clag on an hdin was BM in the money match i also beat him in. literally all i did was run, wait for him to chase, and ww back. death.

i really like the idea of having a less powerful WW with the ability to single arm throw. hell vs a libby u might as well run 2x poons with dub throw

as a side note, u could toy with running 2x sojs and peace in some setups and bump in some light dmg sockets or inv space. kill the lower rolls of MDR bug a bit and escape mdr bug on the top end altogether. with lots of crit to make up for losing the 2x nagas or w/e melee wep u usually use.

I like the soj idea but not sure i wanna lose my fcr on the rings

Would u also do what rudi said -> max spear mast, 1 into throw/dub throw?

yeah the # of matchups where you'll double throw isn't a lot, and even in the one's it is you'll still likely kill with WW more.

vs sorcs, vs necros, vs trap, etc you'll still get more kills, imo, with a nice tele stomp ww. so having a stronger ww is a better option imo.

vs hdin you might find your best reason to double throw but you also leave yourself open to getting charge pk'd, honestly i dont see that many double throw matchups if you want to retain a staff on swap.

i like the idea of your build, it's basically a ww barb with an extra option. and if you cube buff you can skip a LOOOOOOT of points if you use a ww hat. so you might be able to bump throwing mastery a bit more for some more crit.

3ww/3bo/3

Use 10fcr rare rings or your mana will be crap.

/e actually if you cube buff use 3ww/50+life/2soc
