Anyone saying this build "shreds" is using level 55 enchant lol. Without that it's nothing special.. damn sure isn't clearing p8 fast

Lacerator still has that downside even if you ignore most trash mobs and only gun unique packs, seal popping & diablo, since its still going to override amp on minions and scatter them even if it has no such problem with the actual uniques. Have you guys actually tried just building around atmas on barb and dreadfang on merc? Yeah throwbarbs have always been desperate for %ed and can max dex to get some, and losing might aura hurts. I would think you could just try to get the two best rare ethereal harpoons you can find for max dps and maybe even pray for amp, but the obvious limiting factor here is how absurdly unobtainable good thrower weapons are compared to just slapping a lo rune in a phase blade

but warshrikes have just sad damage, using a 162 base weapon is bad even if you could free up your belt slot and go up to ~78% ds/cs.
And that's where the horrible limitation is here, good rare harpoons are totally unobtainable with astronomical droprates, but would do 2x the dps at 2x the range

I had fun with a throw/frenzy hybrid
2x dreadfang on swap to self proc amp while keeping frenzy active
2x good eth rares on throw side
No flee
Still able to reach max fpa with pride might merc
Maxing inc stamina to reach max frenzy lenght
But not everyone gonna enjoy keeping frenzy active

Fun build overall, different playstyle
Can run low fcr and mostly run ultra fast

I think if someone was serious about throw barb, for pvp purposes even, obtaining some decent javs wouldnt be impossible for those in the know. Since you don't need replenish qty anyway, it seems a lot more doable than say eth mats. I could see the godliest of the godly even being able to be used with ww, no w swap required since javelins have range 3 melee they could serve as a semi-decent alt to grief/beast, just trading 1-2 sockets relative to eth rares for the ability to throw. In fact, they would be on par with a 1socket zod eth rare zerker in a sense, as you could always throw them for repair purposes.

maybe in the future I will go jav hunting and not for the kind in east asia, but for now there are bigger fish to fry.

this seems doable, but at that point you may as well just run fortitude and only run zones you can frenzy/leap easily through. I think i saw a throwbarb doing this in flayer a while back, and yea he was tearing stuff up, but it didn't look like he just threw the build together either. I think him being in flayer also contributed to how well it worked.

:didnt mean to double post, oops:

I did it with singer. P8 solo tz tombs back to back takes about 17 hours for 98-99.
But I was also horking all elites/champs and IDing many blues and yellows of interest.
Would be faster if you ignore drops.
