Hey yall, I'll try to keep this short

I've read thru the stickies and didnt find a build quite like what I wanted and was wondering if something along these lines might work before I level it up and buy all the kit. This will be for pvm, not really for anything but fun/style but I want it to be viable. I plan on taking it to lvl 90.

Skills

20 Double Swing
xx Double Throw (prolly not maxed but at least in teens)
20 Frenzy
20 Throwing Mastery
20 Battle Orders
1 Increased Speed, Increased Stamina, Ironskin, Natural Resists, Battle Command
1 Howl, Shout, Bash

So maxed out at lvl 97 I believe (won't get that high prolly but w/e)

Dual Glimmershreds
Arreats (no idea on socket yet)
Highlords
Goldwrap
Laying of Hands, maybe dracs
Goreriders
Ravenfrost
decent rare ring with +13str and +12 res
Armor?? Smoke to start prolly then maybe CoH

Dex would be left low since glimmers only need 88 dex and armor would be made in either a dusk or archon depending on availability to keep str reqs low as well.

Plan is to keep frenzy on left and double throw on right, kill all the melee critters with frenzy then finish off the ranged ones with double throw so I'm not wasting time chasing fallen rouge archers around all night.

If it matters, this is ladder and I usually play solo unless baaling or questing.

I'd swap the Arreats for Guillaumes and get a Treachery armor.

I wouldn't put Frenzy on left as that will just slow you down. Just use a skill switch between Frenzy and DT.

The beauty of Frenzy is that your Barb closes with those ranged attackers so quickly that they mostly don't stand a chance. It can make for a more varied combat experience, but try synergized Frenzy first, with Frenzy on right click. You may find that a frenzied Barb is a faster projectile than any thrown weapon.

I would go something more along the lines of this.

Use the 2x the +5 frenzy runeword to get damage up on frenzy, kill a load of monsters to charge up and the swap to the throwing weapons and unleash hell with them.

5 frenzy
10 weapon mastery
15 double throw
20 double swing
20 BO
20 Throwing mastery
1 inc speed
1 inc stam
1 nat res
1 ironskin
1 Howl
1 BC

Only problems will be low defence and im not sure if the +5 frenzy runeword has any leach on it so that would mean you will need to get from somewhere else.

96 skill points so maxed at level 85 which is an easily obtainable level.

You should have ok damage, I reckon it would be and absolute blast to play

too much double throw, you only need 10 max
your going to be packing alot of dex as well because of throwing weapons so ar isnt really an issue
