Currently and possibly forever L95

Maxed:
double throw
Throwing mastery
Double swing
Battle orders

1 pt in the essentials

Got 15 skills left over, could go ww with the rest but I don’t believe ww with lacerators will get the same benefit from throwing mastery, probably needs axe.

Could go frenzy for charge up dmg and speed but not sure if it’s necessary I already kill pretty fast

What do you guys think?

1 to frenzy. 1 to berserk. at least 1 to axe mastery. then the rest into bash or axe mastery. or dump them all into the totem.

I was also curious about totem. Is it worth it? Only real scenario I could see it being worth casting is vs stone skin, even dclone dies in like 5 seconds. How does battle cry compare for the minus defense?

idk about totem never tried it out. it just seems like with it's new buffs it would be good for a throw barb. battle cry might not be so good for a thrower because of it's small radius. i like battle cry but it is hard to find a place for it in most builds.

Oh dang so its radius doesn’t increase? Wonder if it’d be useful for bosses. Totem is weird because the monsters have to be under the fear proc for the extra damage which im pretty sure will just override my amp.

Might just go nat res or item find honestly

Ditch the shitty lacerators. Max the same skills, dump the rest into grim. My radius is like 26 yards, which is pretty much a full screen from the ward. If you are killing fine with no auras, grim is a free 40-60% dmg, with the huge AOE. base point potion is more than enough. It's all supplemental damage at the end of the day, and a 40 second, 26yrd radius is much better than trying to howl. It doesn't work on undead or ghosts, so it can narrow down MF areas. But with a sunder, it's not hard to kill anyways

I like the lacerators because I don’t need a sunder but id be open to a better suggestion for throw weps
