Throwing Barb stats - Blizzard Sector

**DarkZeb** · 10-04-2004, 04:22 AM

Im making a throwing barb (yes i know they suck) but am making one any how. Does anyone know the kinda stats they need? really all i need to know is how much dex they need, coz they are ranged they are going to need quite a bit?.. kinda like a zon?

**Siluru** · 10-04-2004, 04:24 AM

They don't suck that bad... I used to have one, they are fun, :

ual Eth Lacerators w00t!!:: Yes, you need quite a bit of dexterity because your going to need to hit your targets or you are ****ed.

**DarkZeb** · 10-04-2004, 04:30 AM

yer yer its all good saying "quite a bit" but could u put a number on it?

**DeStRuCtIoN** · 10-04-2004, 05:55 AM

by 'quite a bit' i think he means 250+ AT LEAST

**DarkZeb** · 10-04-2004, 07:34 AM

shoot 250+ .. alot more than i expected .. anyhow is it the same as zons each dex adds damg?

**Rapta111** · 10-10-2004, 05:48 PM

If you really think about it, 250 isn't really that much, especially compared to godly dexazons with 600+ fully equipped.

Here's my build for Thrower Barb:

Stats:

Strength: as much as needed to wear gear
Dexterity: 250+
Vitality: all the rest
Energy: None

Skills:

20 Double throw
20 Double swing
20 throwing mastery
20 Battle Orders
1 Berzerk
1 Frenzy
1 WW
1 Battle Command
1 Shout
1 Natrual Res
1 Increased Speed
1 Grim Ward
1 Howl
Rest into Iron Skin
1 All Prereq's

My thrower is currently at level 83, can kill in hell pretty well. He doesn't have eth lacetators yet, but his non-eth ones are working pretty well. I use 2x Demon's arch on switch.

Note: Do NOT use Gimmersheds. They are not in any way, fast enough for this build.

Best Gear:

160/60 Armor with FHR mod
120/45 Helm With +life mod
2x eth lacerator's
Highlord's
Steelrends/Dracul's
Razortail
Gores
Raven Frost
C-Grip
Cta
Lidless
2x Eth Lacerators

I don't use this build mostly because I don't want to spend too much on a thrower barb. Sort of lacks leech.

Good (not best) gear:

Up'ed Shaft
Vampire Gaze
2x lacerators (eth if possible)
Highlord's
Raven Frost
Life Leech Ring
Good IAS gloves (ie Lavagouts, Hellmouth)
Gore Riders
Razortail

Honourable Mentions for gear:

Verdungo's
String Of Ears
Demon's Arch
Soul Drainers
Levithan
Stone Runeword
Delirium
Sandstorm Treks
Imp Brow/Rune Heart
Andy's Visage

Illuminati · 12-23-2004, 02:30 AM

Hey uh...what about mana? I made one with an editor and uh..mana... :/

**Foog** · 12-23-2004, 03:37 AM

i used two eth demons arches and it was very effective...and i found that i needed more defense, ergo more iron skin, and more life, ergo less dex...

**Chubi** · 12-24-2004, 10:04 PM

yea throwing barbs are pretty good
especially if u use eth glimmershreds

**Arbitzz** · 12-24-2004, 10:16 PM
