I decided to try out the throw barb cause it got buffed in Resurrected. Want to become a member? / @thenuclearrabbit I made a patreon! / thenuclearrabbit
Great video. I just lost 1 week ago a HC, SSF Barb. Normal and Nightmare was a cakewalk. I would say that throwing is one of the best builds to level up a barb from the start. Decent damage with almost any throwing weapon, low mana costs and very high survability for a "ranged"class. The problem was Inferno, of course. I could not find any weapon which other damage types than physical, plus a big missplay, ended my run. Hope I found before your video because there are some great tips😅.
Thank you! Condoleances on your barb. It's much better than people give it credit for in the early game. I had the same problem in my run. Which is why I went for the act 3 mercenary to get fire damage as well. It was far from perfect but it definitely got the job done. Glad you like the video :)
@@Deatpunch technically all items should be socketable not just throwing weapons. But blizzard never added those features even though most of the industry did
Another great video! Cool idea with blood axes, I’ll definitely take it into service. In my humble opinion, the best option for a barbarian thrower is to invest points not in the grim ward itself, but in finding potions, as this increases the reduction of physical resistance.
Good vid, I bought Diablo 2 all those years ago when it first came out....and have never managed to complete it on Hell difficulty to this day:) I think that is another reason why I like watching your videos, other than the terrible puns!
I didn't finish Hell on my own (rushes don't count, right? lol) until D2R, but now I've done it on every char! Get back in the game and get it done; it feels so good after all these years to actually beat the game. ;D
I've played this character a few times and I'll say that he definitely has his own special vibe. Personally, I really liked him! Maybe I'll even make a video about him someday
thinking about doing my barb in SP as throw from lv1... seems like it can be challenging though. doing shouts is probably better if you're not SSF right? love the videos man! keep it up
Eh, if it happens it happens. Best way to win the game is just accepting it happens every once in a while. If you don't die every once in a while your not pushing it hard enough
actually a3 mercs are the worst option imo. for physical builds like this i can't think of a better options than a2 merc with might aura and a reaper's toll, or, if you aren't lucky to get the RT, pick the a5 merc and make him a "lawbringer" rw. the a5 merc is overall tankier and has no hit recovery animation, and the lawbringer isn't that hard to farm for. feel free to try this in your next phys build run.
I'm really lucky to see your video, I'm curious about your general opinion about the barbarian. I like to get levels without using the "war cry" ability, just with the "doube swing" or "frenzy" abilities, but it's very difficult. "project diablo 2" solved this by giving area damage, but I want the barbarian to have his rightful place in the original version. Am I missing something? Does the barbarian really have an advantage or does he need to be buffed? Last year the dev team made an update. But isn't it still unnecessarily difficult for the barbarian to level up? I don't like the "war cry" ability. A barbarian who deals damage by shouting is funny to me. Please tell me this is not the only fast way
Kind of yes and kind of no. The barbarian needs to very consistently upgrade his damage. Making sure that you have a very high chance to hit also helps a ton. But it will still be slower than the other classes. It's kind of a if you know how to do it, it's not as bad kind of thing. Make sure you hit level 25 in the Flayer Jungle on as high a players count as you can do. That will make act 4 a lot easier. Which grants you acces to eldritch in act 5. Whom you can farm all the way to lvl 35 if you want. Terror zones can be done up to lvl 45-50 ish. But it will take longer than on the other classes. I don't think the barb needs a buff, however I do think melee weapons in general need a buff. The speedrun strat is leap attacking. So I'm gonna say that is the fastest way to do your barb. If your ever stuck on why things are taking long, just look at how speedrunners do it, they know their stuff.
It does, but it gets the same penalty that all ranged attacks do. So while CB in melee does 25% to normal enemies and 12.5% to champions/uniques/bosses, thrown weapons will do half that (12.5% and 6.25% respectively).
@@thenuclearrabbit it was my first class in D2. I grinded through hell and beat the game before starting another character. Did wonders for my perception of difficulty in the game!
@thenuclearrabbit it used to be good vrs certain builds. Vrs the metas it was a meme 🤣 now... after buffs... it might be busted again idk haven't tried.
@@thenuclearrabbit i think when we say it’s hard, show us what’s exactly hard. Because often times I think it’s a lack of understanding some mechanics which causes people to think something is hard. Sometimes it’s not really the character fault either it’s the game design. D2/D2R are both basically unfinished games with often a bit of ignorance lol. In short, players over time have learned to make lemonade with the lemons Blizzard forced us to have.
@@thenuclearrabbit hmm what would you consider right gear? Like in the case of a throw Barbarian, in general, I think it’s better off changing some of your thoughts of how to play it. The “popular” build to level is telling you to double swing and mace your way through the game. It works but to me, that’s probably best used as a boss or champ killer and should be on swap for you, not your main skill. That works nicely in the throw package anyways since you have to get it. Double throw allows a form of minor AoE early on. I’ve considered it more of a caster even though it’s physical. If you compare it to say a fireball sorc or hammerdin, you have a window of time where it’s actually better in some cases than those builds. Of course both of them have way better scaling potential. Eventually you are right your going to need war-shrike and lacerator as best in slot gear. But I think most people just don’t realize the options you have until you find or trade for those, which causes the it’s hard spill. I think more or less it’s not luck, it’s timing. You need to know when and where to look for certain weapons.

very best content ever .
Thank you so much for the kind words!
You actually never miss with game OST's. OSRS, Lufia, Secret of Mana.
And turtles in time ❤
Great stuff including some great loot!
Cool idea to blood craft throwing axes, that never crossed my mind before!
Thank you! Yeah the loot was wild on this run.
You can also craft javelins with the spear recipe. I just didn't get any interesting ones.
Also, if you were not using throwing weapons, would you have used that Sur to make ‘Wind’ just because? 😂
Yes
This friendship is peak youtube ❤️
❤️
Finding a maras and a sur randomly but grinding 9 hours for um is crazy :D
Yeah this run went very different then what I expected

Loves how you threw TMNT turtles in time audio there ❤❤
Such an amazing game
You got me addicted to the 360 no scope swag, thanks a lot mate 😂😂😂
No problem 👍
Loved the intro!
This is one of my favorite builds to play, I'm so glad you did it! Cheers!
Thank you! Glad you liked it, it's such a fun build
So either a higher drop mod, console naturally has higher rates or you're the luckiest man alive.
This is the Run i was most exited about!
Congrats to 3k subs btw! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you!
The fact that throw barn is now viable, what we are missing is sockets in throwable
Yes, fully agreed
@@Deatpunch been viable for a few years my friend :)
@@Deatpunch technically all items should be socketable not just throwing weapons. But blizzard never added those features even though most of the industry did
@@kristopherleslie8343 yeah, but playing moded d2r that is vanilla and not over modded is hard to find 😝
@@Deatpunch I’m referring to vanilla kiddo
tmnt turtles in time music helllllll yeah I know those orchestra hits when I hear them
Turtles in time is amazing!
I love the backround music... lufia theme gave me chills 🤘
Love that you used the Lufia soundtrack!

You can craft throwing spears as well with the spear recipe. Good call I didn't think of that
My most fav build!
Since buffs happened.
Made lvl 99 throwbarb on ladder with BiS gear. Slaps!
Oh that is sick! Gratz
made my own madawc before the throwing mastery buff, time to start a throw barb again
Good luck! It's so fun now
My computer is defect and I can’t play D2r atm... you’re content is great ! Very entertaining!,,,,
Thank you!
Your commentary is elite lmao also- insane drops btw. Nice run ❤
Thank you!
and I've just started a barb with intention to respec into throwing once i get some good items. love your videos as usual
Good luck on your run!
Good vid, I bought Diablo 2 all those years ago when it first came out....and have never managed to complete it on Hell difficulty to this day:) I think that is another reason why I like watching your videos, other than the terrible puns!
You can always try again. But until then I'm just glad you watch my videos!
I didn't finish Hell on my own (rushes don't count, right? lol) until D2R, but now I've done it on every char! Get back in the game and get it done; it feels so good after all these years to actually beat the game. ;D
It still feels good to complete a harcore run. Even when you do 1 once a week :)
Love the vids! I’d love to see an enchant sorc with no shared stash. The danger!!
It's on the requested runs list
This was one of my favourite builds to play through the game with ssf. Cleglaws gloves and twitchthroe carried me through nightmare
Those are amazing! Would have loved to find either
8:15 your rng is straight up GOLD
The rng was crazy on this one for sure
Maras in SSF HC gambling, so this game continues to amaze me...😀,I also did a ton of gambling in HolyGrail and I didn't find Maras
This was my first gambled mara's after 20+ years of playing
I've played this character a few times and I'll say that he definitely has his own special vibe. Personally, I really liked him! Maybe I'll even make a video about him someday
I loved playing him :) go for it haha
lol! The turtles in time music!! Rad
Turtles in time is such an amazing game :D
@@thenuclearrabbit fuck yea it was!!
That run past Sszark the burning! Sketchy
If I died, I died haha
Great run. Your luck was crazy good
Thank you
thinking about doing my barb in SP as throw from lv1... seems like it can be challenging though. doing shouts is probably better if you're not SSF right? love the videos man! keep it up
Throwbarb takes patience. But it is very doable. Shout barb is much stronger until you get to the very very endgame gear
Love these 15-20ish challenge videos! 🙂
Thank you!
God man whenever i see you get a plethora of good drops it makes me cringe with fear that this will be one of the runs that kill you
Eh, if it happens it happens. Best way to win the game is just accepting it happens every once in a while. If you don't die every once in a while your not pushing it hard enough
5:48 dude. Getting a CBF in any gear slot on a run is like, straight up gg. How do you keep doing it over and over?!!
I farm way more than people seem to think :) also just luck haha
actually a3 mercs are the worst option imo. for physical builds like this i can't think of a better options than a2 merc with might aura and a reaper's toll, or, if you aren't lucky to get the RT, pick the a5 merc and make him a "lawbringer" rw. the a5 merc is overall tankier and has no hit recovery animation, and the lawbringer isn't that hard to farm for.
feel free to try this in your next phys build run.
Bash barb bash barb bash barb
as usual, amazing luck
Very nice. Thank for content
Thank you!
My luck in game is totally borked. I'm so jealous.
I farm way more than people think. I just edit it all out
Great vid. Could you not use berserk on the physical immunes?
I could have. But I think the damage would be worse than what I did with the merc.
Also thank you!
I've waited so long
It is here!
Excellent and funny video as always ❤️😂☝️☺️
Why the sad smiley? Thank you though
@@thenuclearrabbit just a typo while driving broski.
can you explain how do i upgrade the throwing weps with the cube
You can upgrade rare/set/unique items. I recommend just googling the recipes :)
Epic run. Kinda short but makes it sweet ig
Thank you! I'm still just learning how to format video's and trying to find what people like, so thanks for letting me know :)
I FUCKING LOVE THE THROW BAR
So do I
What a legendary run

One warcry could have made your run 300% easier, can you guess which one?
Yes
All the drops!
goated gambles
How long it took you to finish the game? Great determination :o
This took me 19 hours to record.
wouldn't imbueing some eth throwing weapons be more effective?
Yes, that could work. I just didn't get any good rolls
Greta video, does crushing blow work with throwing weapons?
It does, but it gets the same penalty that all ranged attacks do. So while CB in melee does 25% to normal enemies and 12.5% to champions/uniques/bosses, thrown weapons will do half that (12.5% and 6.25% respectively).
Yes, but it is nerfed to deal less damage
0:12 best class in the game once you get over the fact that youre the slowest. ❤
Yeah I love me a barb but I get why people wouldn't :)
@@thenuclearrabbit it was my first class in D2. I grinded through hell and beat the game before starting another character. Did wonders for my perception of difficulty in the game!

Throw barb. If anyone is confused...😂
Is it good in pvp? I haven't pvp'd in decades
@thenuclearrabbit it used to be good vrs certain builds. Vrs the metas it was a meme 🤣 now... after buffs... it might be busted again idk haven't tried.

I was recording one yesterday. I'm currently at the character creation screen again
Nice video,as always!
(Also second lol)
Thank you!
cool game, u made it?
Yes
The guy can gamble a Mara's, but still can't beat the game with a spearazon.
PS did they increase the rate of gambling set/unique items?
I don't know I never looked into it

Awesome
