Any good tips here would help.
I've tried many different combinations. I have a Gf barb running trav for gambling circlets/javs/rings/Amulets

Current setups.

Helms.
200 6l arret upd(15/39) 191 6l arret up ( nothing atm- sol?ber?amn?)
Eth arret upd w/zod not sure Ed/Ll

Andys helm kinda crap roll 30srt tho( no socket- ias15/30fire?)

Gface-15ias/33ed-another Gface15ias15mx both upd

Coa- 37res 15dr( x2 ber ) upd maybe 1ber 15ias/ed or mx

Demon horns edge only cuz ias 3,3,3 75atd? Have a feeling it's crap either way 😂

Looking for a pGiant skull 2s ( ideas? 15/Ed? 15/15mx? Or completely different?

(Hope to find one in a gamble, 2, 20fcr,30frw,vis ( 2s- ideas )

Had a few ideas on a Bo primal helms.
Throw mastery can roll on ilvl26 primal helms.

Helm-1. Magic primal helm. 2barb 3thrmast 3bo 3shout>or should this be iron skin or inc spd, Stam, or nat res? Not sure about the 3rd skill but I believe it has a chance to roll others on it life ehdef? Then Larz, what for Jewels 15ias 15mx? ???

Helm-2 same as Helm 1 but rare vis primal helm. 2barb 3thrmast 3bo just not sure on 3rd skill.. vis mod anything else fhr frw res life mana that's a plus, Larz hope for max soc( then what for Jewels 15ias15mx or ed???

Helm-3 same as Helm 2 but Eth- Larz for soc( then Jewels 15ias15mx or ed??

Armor-

scarab husk 15/15 **perfect rolled Enigma**

Wire fleece Enigma- I think it's got Ed 😂

currently Lf different armor bases for more def. Hfp or Aa- exc or norm bases for low str req ( not sure if this helps ) light med heavy

Tried bramble with Atd and spirit of barbs kinda trash. ( more tips here as well needed ) could I make this viable like a pally and use Tele Amy? Demon horns?razortail? You get what I'm thinking????

Fort stashed
Hustle stashed
Corpsmourn stashed (5/5F) Arret (5/5F)
Tootthrow-210ed 40ow- ( no soc-jewel? ) need to upgr
Ark val- ( no soc-jewel?) Need to upgr
Gbane- almost perf Dr mdr ( no soc-jewel?) Ned to upgr
Iron plet- not sure stats (no soc-jewel?) Need to upgr

I do have a light plate of the whale-( 100- no soc) Jewels 15/ed questions on this later in post.

Belts-

Dungos-37 15 upd
Rztail-upd
Amesh-upd
Soe- 15/15 upd
Tgods-upd
Nosf-upd-( I kinda need the ias here sometimes again not sure )
Crafted blood belt- 10fhr 3Ll 10ow etc need to upgr
Ik belt-upd

Gloves-

Loh- 20ias/Fires*** ( when using andys helm setup rn ias hlps) upd
Dracs-upd
Rends-upd
Trang gloves-upd
Bloodfist-p 20 83def upd
Rare 20ias gloves 15str 15dex 9psn res
Crafted blood gloves- no good rolls yet
Crafting caster gloves- or just use Trangs bit could use str dex stats like rare fcr
Crated hit power gloves - for knockback ( can these rolling ias??)
Ik-upd

Boots-

Wartravs-48mf upd
Gores- p 200 upd
Ik-upd
Hotspurs-upd
Dancers-(LF)need to upgr
Eth sandtreks- upd
Erep rare boots- 3tri res 30frw other stats plus( need to find and upgr )
Crafted hitpowerboots- 60def vs melee ( is this viable in this build?)
Crafted safety boots- need to craft- does the Dr mdr and ed help here?

Rings-
Angelics-x2
Raven-x2 1perf other gg 220+ 20dex
Wisp-x2 19L 11L
Dwarfs-x2 15mdr
Rare ring- duel leach 29str psn res( kinda crap can find better with fcr)
Soj/bk or bk ravenfrst?

This is confirmed wtf even is a Crafted caster ring when you can crafte safety ring and roll fcr and Dr mdr with Edef


Amulets-
Highlords
Angelic
Caster-need to crafte- ( is this viable here)
Crafted blood Amulet- for the frw ( is this viable or completely not need since frw scs?


As for weps. I know eth winged harpoons Yada Yada found some non eth pair but crap Ed dmg.
Note( safety jav crafte can roll 2 skills 40ias 400+Ed Fools min mx dmg edef Dr mdr and knockback!! Is this not thee best option here!!! Even tho it'll never be Eth 😂 still tho throw barb lacks so this is a very Gg option or? Blood crafte axes with insane ed ?

Best throw set up- ( eth warshrike & winged harpoon Fools ias ed not eth 😂
This with Andy helm if 15/30fire jewel would off set the -30 fire other than not still not sure what jewel here.

Reason for Andy helm kinda going bowzon theme was thinking Atd with bramble wisp spirit of barbs "everyone needs Enigma"- with not sure what numbers these will end up at since i still have loads of crafting to do...Dr mdr pdr... Tele charges from fcr Crafted amy??



As for swap I got hoto Flail- 3wc Harpoon
Or
Ss- ( soc needs jewel ) with a Gg eth throw wep( single hand throw does double damage) is this a better option?



Charms- Torch Anni

I got tons of Charms-- bcoms30-40L bmast30-40L few wcgc but non any good. Bmast12hr/bcomb12fhrx2

Mix between Gc- 10max 70+ar 30+L/ max ar dex/ max ar str/

Mix between scs-321psnx2/ 3 18 18x4/ 5@resx2/ some with frw with 11res
5fhr 125psn/ need fhr,frw smcharms. 30 20x2/ other max ar life's not as good but I got crap rolls like 2mx 15/ 2 20/ 1 15 13/ etc
I also have def Life smcharms- ( is this viable here)

Should I set up charms like bowzon with max ar vita smcharms with physical sunder and psn sunder andys helm?? With all other charms psn dmg smcharms fhr frw @res??? Or Mix between max ar life with fhr frw @res psn dmg physical sunder psn sunder????


Again I've tried several different styles just can't seem to fine tune everything.

Stats-

120str? For str bonus from boots?? Am I crazy here? Then this gives options to wear heavier armor and upd gear???

Dex- enough for 95%hit chance on who diablo baal? Any high lvl pvp char??
Or about 190-220?? Or half and half between dex and vitality?
Low side just enough for weapons??

Vit- 290? With gear and charms 20bo I hit max health 4500 do I need more??
I can use oak from wisp....
Half and half? Or more vit then dex?
Eng- none


Again several different options

Skills-

Setup 1 max throw dmg..- 20Dbthrow, 20Dbswing, 20Thrmast, 20Bo, pre req 1 ww 1zerk, pre req 1 all passives 1spearmast, rest in shout.

Again just not sure what's best. Max dmg or more def, the 4points into incspeed until capped same with natural res 6points but that's a little much.
When I did test that part I did like the results could just stand there vs more shout etc

lacking ias somewhere maybe with helms 3 ias ed jewels??
lacking fcr for 63bp
Lacking Dr pdr mdr
Lacking min max damage/ AR
Lacking def? Scs?
Lacking fhr/frw I know forsure.


Any tips would be appreciated as I've tried a lot of different setups extra point into ww or leap or iron skin or nat res or incstam with frenzy duration.
Extra points into zerk does not convert through frenzy for magic dmg with double throw... 😂

Also why can't the barb get anything good like runeword for throwing or plus to barb skill with magic ias gloves like zon and sin 😂
Or sockets in throwing weapons 😂
Or maybe a few better passives other then incstam and grimward, flee helps to a point in pvm but it's very annoying would rather spend 1 point down to warcry for the stun but then again what's better here to leap or warcry
Not sure if frenzy works with warcry and leap for faster warcry and leap??


Highest min max dmg I've achieved was 3100k-5400k
Highest ar without Angelic 20k-27k depends on wep and charms and skills
Highest ar with Angelic 52k

I've read multiple post websites etc. Nothing really on pvp throw barb.

The idea is bvc but also bva

Duels.
Barbs- win some lose some
Zon- tanks hard to get past mx block with ss bow set I get melted
Sorc- frost I'm okay in, light, some win some lose, fire some win some lose
Druid- wind tanks I get melted even with high fcr
Necros- tanks I get melted from spirits/Bspear

Paladins- conv auradins are a problem. Win some lose mostly Smithers/ chargedins/ typical zeal. Smiters I just ww away they usually back off charge in ww away sometimes they die again mostly I die.



Would this be better max Bo max shout with def Life scs with res fhr frw then some mx ar life ??? Or go max dmg on throw with this scs set up more def Life @res fhr frw max ar life ???

Would atd Dr pdr mdr be viable with throw barb
Godly armor of the sword 20??
Godly armor of Amice 20?? X4 amn or x4 15/ed or 15/max/ x4 sol

I think you know where going on the armor part here I hope 🤦‍♂️



Tips would be appreciated thank you for taking this time to read all my gibberish.

Long post let me make it more simple:
You need ias in almost every slot.

So you want to have ias, and you want fcr, and you want dr%… a hard combi.

So basicly you will have a cube bo like this:
3bo metamorph
2 sojs/bk
3wc ammu
3bo 2 or 3 slot item.

Then you want doom and beast in bo slot. This will allow for a annoying usefull wirl offhand.
The beast allows you to enter bearmode, activate mark of the bear with metamorphosis helm. Thats 25eias and 20% dr for 180 seconds.

So main wep will be:
Eth warshrike + eth lacerator
Or
Eth winged harpoon + eth lacerator.

Enigma
Hl
Arach
20ias/kb/adds gloves
Gore riders
2barb/20fcr/adds 2 sox 15ias/add jewels(ideally visio helm)
Wisp
Raven

For ur setup with more dr you can use a 2 sox coa with ias/adds jools.

Torch
Annie
Enought fhr charms for 27 break. (56 with coa)
Rest max/ar/life scs or some life/5@ if you need res.

eth balrog spear with 30% or more ias and beast offhand, single throw rather than double. you need like 5% ias or something annoying if you get slowed by arach though

Does single throw apply mastery ed twice still?

Haven't tested it in D2R but haven't seen any patch notes indicating it isn't, might have to test that out some time unless someone wants to beat me to it

It seems like you've tried many different setups, I have one for PvM and even then it's kind of squishy so there's that...

I see it like a worse Bowzon tbh, it's terrible for PvP but it's cool for PvM...

I just frenzy around and double throw lol

This. For PvP. I only max throw mastery, rest of points in double throw for ar.


But the throw is only to proc amp damage. Then swap to grief beast and stomp. Gg.
