Found out some research, not sure if im right tho, lol.

act 5 merc (dont need 15% ias jewel in helmet)
no difference between 45 % & 60% if hes using legend sword (still going to be 5 frame either way)


How much AR should i need in hell?

With double throw i already have 6.5k (each skill invested in double throw skill adds 100-150 AR)
With double throw maxed i will have 7.5k - 8k AR (not counting ravenfrost)


Was hoping to get around maxing Double Throw but it seems i will need the AR with the gear im planning on using unless i find some Nice AR charms

Finally got a descent roll after doing the den , so i kept this..


Merc armor upgrade


Done a baal run to gain some levels, Paid off big time !!!



Currently level 76

Baal Run situations
wave 1 = alright
wave 2 = big pain in the ass until i get can not be frozen (for me & merc)
wave 3 = alright if i seperate
wave 4 = Descent if i seperate atleast half away from wave boss
wave 5 = Scary movie unless i seperate to 2-3 at a time
Baal = waste of time - takes 10-15 minutes minimum and shit drops

First 2 runs of the day gave me back to back gem shrines in the same exact spot !!!


2nd run of the day, unique ring & GC from a chest


Ring was worth holding on to for now pretty sure im not going to need it on this barb tho. Gonna need AR/LL/ML kind of rings

LL/ML belt, stashed for now until i find my definite source of ML when i tranfer to lawbringer merc


FLAMING PARTY !!!! Looked like atleast 20-25 lords in that 1 area..


Great Craft. bad rolls..



Getting tired of meph runs already and im probably no more than 20 runs in..
This will push me back to my Other walk thru in no time !!

Neat idea, haven’t seen a throwbarb walk here I’d heard they can be slow going.

Good luck, hope ya find what you’re looking for.

Love dwarf star. Nice pvm ring, extra tankiness and 100% goldfind

(Just skip to 3:55)Double Throw does not share IAS breakpoints with Attack/Throw.


Barbarian mercenary employs the skills Attack (two attacks per sequence), Bash and Stun.

You can look up the IAS breakpoints: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Barbarian_(mercenary)#Attack or https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Barbarian_(mercenary)#Bash_and_Stun
That is the minimum Increased Attack Speed required to reduce the number of frames in the attack animation and thus increase attack speed.

Frames: Total denotes the number of frames required for the animation: Attack or Bash/Stun.
Frames: Action denotes the frame within the animation in which the actual attack takes place; Attack has two action frames, one for each attack in the sequence.
EIAS [Effective IAS] - you don't need to worry about that here; consult the following page if you wish to read about it: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php?title=Attack_speed

Weapon speed=-15 for Legend Sword (Weapon speed = WSM [Weapon Speed Modifier]).
Look at the corresponding column(s) to determine attack speed.


Currently I would invest 20 points in Double Throw and, if necessary, adjust it with a respec later on after acquiring better equipment and charms.

Post #92 displays an excellent map, and Mephisto deserves further punishment

Mr. Google to the help !!!
That video didnt solve the double throw part, but I did manage to use that calculater... But when I get back to this character I will definitely look back into the setups.

I would love to put points into defensive skills instead of double throw for AR, so I could tank meph and be able to kill him a little faster instead of towning for mf gear at end.
And yes mephisto deserves alot more punishment !!!! Just need to adjust gear for more mf without jeopardizing death.

Totally forgot you’d started one of these - good read so far!

I’ve started a throw barb recently, still figuring a number of things out. Lacerator + Warshrike would be GG of course. Don’t know if Razortail is worth aiming for over SoE, or if CB (Gores, Gtoes, Gulli etc) is worth having as it’s gonna be mostly ranged. Totally didn’t think of doing blood crafts, aha, good call.

Still playing this toon or are you on the classic barb?

Got this char to NM meph grinding and kill speed on P8 is horrible so i got bored and started to play others.. Getting stuck at NM meph grind over and over is horrible, especially if it takes 10 minutes per round with near 0 MF..
Good Luck with yours and i will defniitely tune in and check it out to see how your doing !!!
