Nice, I was thinking about Ebotd on CB and Death on CS


Actually tried that, but double eth cs does more damage. Only go botd if you dont have ml, ll or enough ias

Yeah I've played around with that, 2x lacerator on swap.. still prefer 2x hoto for faster movespeed and +6 hork skill :P
I like to abuse that soul MF ritual to get 4.2k mf and then farm and hork the TZ, cow king, trav, all act bosses and the more fun 85 areas. With that crazy high MF it's actually fun to hork that many areas :P get tons of uniques and sets and also tons of failed uniques/sets


yea makes sense especially in lower player count fcr > amp

but i guess for p8 you could make a fair 37 fcr setup

its 100% pierce so it will always pierce 4 targets and hit 5 targets if theyre lined up
its not just about that tho, it also hits way harder than whirlwind
and also way faster if you count the pierce
not to mention the amp removing 100% dr


pierce is 100% but monsters lining up in it is not
3-6k + .5-5k~ amp'd throw @7frame VS 6-6k~ might decrep'd WW @4 frame is weaker and slower

Even in the provided video the amount of time hitting FOUR targets is low. You get some good lines but then the cleanup after that density is slow and things get skipped anyway.

Quoting to highlight this is how most people are pvm barb'ing, more target killing and horking than density chasing. Because barb has better farms for everything OTHER than the pure EXP density clear of throw would give.
edit: just checked 120 barbs over level 95 on ladder at this moment. Not many chasing EXP.

You’re worried about qol on a character who already has terrible clear speed, damage is what matters

Yeah exactly. I got a Barb to 99 and I think getting him from 96 to 99 took longer than getting my Paladin and Sorc from 96 to 99 combined. Levelling a barb is pain and the only reason to hit 99 on a barb IMO is to pvp with him
