Throwing Barb stats

[DarkZeb]

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]

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]

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

[DeStRuCtIoN]

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

[DarkZeb]

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

[Rapta111]

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

ok thanks for that

[Illuminati]

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

[Foog]

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]

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

[Arbitzz]

glimmershreds r only if you cant afford ne thing but shit

[Foog]

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

no no on the gimmersheds, chubi.

[Chubi]

[Foog]

2x eth lacerator's
