Am I going crazy or is throw barb over hyped right now in 2.4?

It performs the EXACT same it did before, it's just a quantity mechanic that is different now.

Not sure what people see in it now that they didn't before.

I thought there was no dmg buffs to throw, am I wrong?

I'm confused

you can have infinite throw of ethereal weapons now


this changes the endgame/BIS of a throw barb quite a lot as you can imagine. Also gets a huge boost in AR. Throw barb won't replace hammerdin ofc but it's at least not a meme character anymore

as long as u cant str/dex glitch invis spears its a meme build in pvp, cool for pvm tho. throw running out is annoying af in single player.

There’s such a small majority of PvP players. People build up their chars, talk shit on the forums and go afk in games - assuming they get that far.

This game is all about ladder reset PvM. PvP could be good, but y’all too pussy to come out and duel without your super perfect gear.

Def don't need perfect gear to compete

PvP is endgame
its the reason the shit you mf is worth anything
its the reason people progress their character
its the only actual reason to play
everything else is pvm grinding
people who pvp already know skill > gear
so wtf u talking about noob?

Pretty true.

That's a fair point, but I guess what I'm confused about is the people's reaction to llama's video. Since he is using regular gimmershreds and cheap gear that means nothing he is showcasing is new, in terms of damage, except attack rating. People are like "oh wow looks solid"

yeah i dont understand the hype either, i played throw barb on D2 for years and used it for both pvm & pvp and imo damage was never a problem especially with lacerators amp
and pierce can be obtained with razortail anyway
yes having to wait for your weapons to replenish could be annoying but you can always have another set on switch or in stash for when you run out
i think throw barb has always been viable obviously not the most effective build but still viable and fun to play before these buffs

if i could change one thing about throw barb i would be the fact axes can only travel 3/4 screen distance compared to javs ect that fly way off screen
they could even add sockets to throwable weapons or add throwable runewords or something
it seems like they haven't tried very hard with this whole patch tbh

one good thing could be WW/Throw hybrid could actually be more viable if throw mastery gives alot more AR and reduces the need to put points into double throw just for pure AR
Llama didn't explain shit tbh the guy is a muppet
