Throwing Mastery only works when you are actually using a throw skill (Either normal or double throw).
For example, Throwing Axes get benefit from Axe mastery while using in melee, and from Throwing mastery when throwing them.
You cannot get the benefits from more than one mastery with throwing weapons no matter what class the weapon is.

1. Remember the weapon speed glitch. You only need 1 fast weapon, for the other it does not matter.

2. A2 Might/Pride merc

3. Eth rep javelins (VERY hard to come by! Rarely traded, but you really need those)

4. Arreats, HL, Eni (possibly others, but eni to sort the merc out is good), belt with pierce, raven ring, nice ring (high leech is good), gore rider, loh gloves

5. inventory full of +damage charms

6. max throw mastery, max jav mastery, max double swing, max frenzy, max taunt, put as many points in double throw to get enough AR with gear and stuff, 1 pt everything else. This is not possible with level 99, so you can cut some corners. Not maxing taunt is an option.

7. wc switch for bo probably

7. try to stat as much into strength and dex as possible (strength has the advantage of giving %ed to your frenzy skill, wihle dex has the advantage of heightening the AR (BOTH improves throwing damage). So a balance needs to be estabslished there). The lower your life, the higher your damage. Basic melee D2 stuff :D

7. Possibly you dont want to wear a torch because of how the stupid flame-proc interrupts you bashing the shit out of foes.

8. You are a HYBRID. You can not throw on every opponent. Quantity will never be enough for it. You should frenzy through the game, and throw on strays and bosses. It is HUGE fun.

9. Dont believe someone who wants to use lacerators. It is possible and it is not bad, but the above build is much better in real life. But you can try both and have your own opinion about it. Like some things in Diablo 2 this is a battle of beliefs basically, but I have tried both setups extensively, and would always prefer the above one.

In conclusion though, no matter how beautiful this build is, the weapons will be hard to come by. But with 100k fg it should be possible, right.

In Europe, I have some, but they are not for sale, the other guy in europe is chemie@d2jsp but he wants 3k fg for javelins that are worth about 1.5k.

Yeah man, sure :)

But be warned, throw barbs are like a religion, and the hybrid part is very true. You wont be running around throwing a lot. You really often just throw for the special occasion, otherwise you will run out really fast.
But for me, this is the #1 build. And now that 3 of my 4 cd key sets are gone, I had to make a choice which build to play 100% legit. And it is this exact throwbarb I described :) Who does not want to be the coolest mother***** running around?!

And to try the build, you can just pick the unique ghost glaives :) Those are cheaper and if you like the build you can always upgrade and accept the lifelong hunt for good throwing javs. Also, when you have 3 pairs of (cheaper) throwing javs, you can throw away all the time and just switch around. I am slowly progressing towards this option I have to say.
