Throwing is not a primary attack. Its a weapon of opportunity.

Don't throw at a paladin when hes trying to mow you down. Whirlwind that. But when he plays defensive, shift smiting or camping in hammers- force him out with throwing axes.
When a wind druid tries to stomp you, whirl around. When a wind druid tries to play defensive and spam nados at a range- throw axes to proc amp off his minions
When an enemy BvC tries to long whirl towards you, teleport a few feet back and throw axes straight in a line- crush him in 1 hit with AMP/WW.
The same tactics apply to every matchup, really. Its a tool vs defensive players and potshots

The difference to widowmaker is that widowmaker does almost no damage and makes you extremely vulnerable (long animation, easily identifiable weapon, easily identifiable arrow animations, no ability to whirlwind away)
Whereas you can throw without your opponent realizing it, and the throwing can deal terrible, terrible damage- 1 proc of AMP and anyone will die in 1 whirlwind

Well said Goom

Pew pew!

This guide is so sexy, tempted to play D2 again

regarding this tactic, i have tried but it doesn't work, mind clarifying company?

A strategy which works particularly well against any opponent.

I second this motion.

you need to have lacerator as primary for it to work

Just make friends with a nec

let him cast amp

Thank you let me know how it goes if you take up the task.





Try this, you could have had it in the wrong weapon slot.



I only use the best strategies m9



Well for TvTs where a necromancer is involved (2v2 through 4v4) you can switch out Lacerators for Hoto/ Cta (for higher BO) or Widowmaker (for GA). I'd suggest using the Hoto/ Cta combination as necromancers only have ranged attacks so the need for GA will be outweighed by Leap and WW.

Otherwise if you are not allied with any necromancers you'll have to use Lacerators.

oh gosh, lacerator as primary weapon? then what's my griefz for?
