Throwing Weapon Barb?

[sedric]

I picked up a Scalper Francisca and Gimmershred Axe, and I thought about this build :

20 Throwing Weapon Mastery
20 Double Swing
20 Double Throw

and whatnots.


Do you think this is a viable build in 1.11?

[JuniorHigh]

Yes, it is. Here's my favorite build:

20 DSwing
20 DThrow
20 Throw Mastery
20 BO

The rest one points to the must haves, and maybe more to Nat Resists if you need them... also, you don't need to put points into DThrow if you have good AR from your items.

Also, one point into Grim Ward helps a lot, as well as putting the rest of points into, say, Leap or War Cry... you could also put them into Frenzy for extra running speed and melee defense.

Try to stay low on the Str, and the best set up for end game should be:

Weapons: Dual Lacerator / Wraith Flight + Lacerator / Wraith Flight + Warshrike (your pick)
Switch: Dual Gimmershred / +3 Warcries weapons
Amulet: Highlord's / The Cat's Eye
Armor: CoH, Fort, Duress, whatever
Belt: Razortail
Gloves: Steelrend / Dracs / Lavagout depending on what you need
Boots: Gore Riders
Rings: Ravenfrosts / BK Band

Would you want a good zerk weapon on switch for psychical immunes?

[JuniorHigh]

No, Lacerator has a 33% chance to cast Amp on strike, which is more than enough. If that doesn't do it for you (as it may could, since it also has a chance of casting Terror on strike and overwriting the other curse), Gimmershred is an incredible throwing weapon with a ton of elemental damage.

its more than viable kills pretty quick and no iron maiden problems.
