Lots of questions 🤔 need veteran help here.
Tried a lot of different set ups. Enough for str, 300 dex,150vita, 20bo 20thrw mast 20double throw 20double swing. This set up does alright currently sitting at 3k life pool with gear and charms im hitting these break points and numbers 69kAr with angelic set with demon limb buff 3k life pool 9k def 2k-5k on one throw weapon and 1k-3k this is my dmg top of my screen in stat menu, 48fhr and 20fcr 110ias can push ias to 125ias if jewel is found.
I like the angelic set here but high lords gives me 50 deadly strike while using either raven frost bul katho or bul katho and 10ias 113ar ring

I have completely overpowered other players but also at the same time this dude squishy and a glass cannon feel.

When i switch to same set up just max vita instead of the 300 dex I currently have, I notice still the same effect I overpowered others players sometimes but still feels like a glass cannon.
At this point with max vita being a throw barb I notice I dont have enough Ar to hit any max block players, I read a rumor that a high elemental dmg with my high physical dmg when thrown at a max block player the physical portion gets blocked and through that block recover I can hit for a second time but only for elemental dmg bypassing their max block build.


I have tried a different switch with a storm sheild and a single throw method not really sure about this cuz then that leaves my swap with no +skills towards BO


Currently using andys visage enigma scarab husk angelic set nosf gores loh to counter the fire res from andy until I find 15ias 40f res jewel.
I do switch to a rare 20ias gloves with 15str and 16dex. Would like 20ias blood gloves with dual leech with a good @res and life mod.


Any advise here helps thx

Maybe my double throw ias calc could help you figure out the optimal setup for you :)

I read a rumor that a high elemental dmg with my high physical dmg when thrown at a max block player the physical portion gets blocked and through that block recover I can hit for a second time but only for elemental dmg bypassing their max block build.


This is a myth.
Only way to bypass block with a physical attack is to convert 100% of it to non-physical dmg (using lvl 49+ magic/fire/cold arrow for example)
Even if berzerk converts it to magic dmg it does not work tho.

I read that somewhere myself someone saying 20 berserk and frenzy then when you berserk the magic dmg could convert through double throw but that definitely isn't true. Its a cool thought tho. I wish throw weapons could get sockets and I wish the crafted rolls where better. Almost want

I did just switch something up, currently enough str for gear 300dex and 150 into vita. 1 point wonders include - spear mast- berserk- ww
20 Bo 20 double throw 20 throw mast, I have 28 points remaining.
I read that the add AR bonus from double swing actually as an effect and youre over all AR dmg and has diminished returns. So I figured drop the 200AR from double swing to make this baba more tanky and fast.
Thinking 9points so increased speed is 10 base skill points and then half the rest with shout and iron skin getting that extra 1 points for a solid 10 shout the rest. I make up the fhr and res through my charms.
Over all i want hit hit 70+k AR im very close and I want 48fhr to not get stun locked if hit and the either 10-20fcr is nice 32 would be crazy and then max my res i got a fast frw speed and then I then have a decent def
I do like the idea of eth fools jav or harpoon with storm sheild -15ias 100AR jewel but then I sacrifice x2 hoto or hoti cta or war cry sticks
