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
Dude, your content is amazing. Not sure how you were able to throw with both hands considering his drinking problem.. but must be he really is a throw master with all those points into master. Love the humor!
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 :)
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.
@@Deatpunch technically all items should be socketable not just throwing weapons. But blizzard never added those features even though most of the industry did
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'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.
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
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.
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
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).
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
@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.
@@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!
very best content ever .
Thank you so much for the kind words!
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 ❤️
❤️
You actually never miss with game OST's. OSRS, Lufia, Secret of Mana.
And turtles in time ❤
"I just walked away from my problems like a real man" LOLLLLL 🤣🤣😆🤣
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
Dude, your content is amazing. Not sure how you were able to throw with both hands considering his drinking problem.. but must be he really is a throw master with all those points into master. Love the humor!
He is only throwing with one arm. Just very drunk seeing double.
Thank you!
Oh my god man the Lufia 2 music has just sent me into a time warp. Unreal.
Glad you like it! :) enjoy the time warp.
I love the backround music... lufia theme gave me chills 🤘
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!

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 :)

This is the Run i was most exited about!
Congrats to 3k subs btw! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you!
Love the vids! I’d love to see an enchant sorc with no shared stash. The danger!!
It's on the requested runs list
Loves how you threw TMNT turtles in time audio there ❤❤
Such an amazing game
My computer is defect and I can’t play D2r atm... you’re content is great ! Very entertaining!,,,,
Thank you!
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 :)
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
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!
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!
Is it a drinking problem if it only ever solves problems?
Is what i explain to my doctor and the cops, but they always try to change the subject
Yeah those tend to be mean like 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
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
lol! The turtles in time music!! Rad
Turtles in time is such an amazing game :D
@@thenuclearrabbit fuck yea it was!!
Bash barb bash barb bash barb
Love these 15-20ish challenge videos! 🙂
Thank you!
That run past Sszark the burning! Sketchy
If I died, I died haha
as usual, amazing luck
8:15 your rng is straight up GOLD
The rng was crazy on this one for sure
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
Are drops artificially increased in the console version? I feel like when I play ssf on computer i never get drops like this
No it's just cause playing D2 is my job so I play an absolute fuckton. Which means I also find a ton of stuff
Your commentary is elite lmao also- insane drops btw. Nice run ❤
Thank you!
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
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
Very nice. Thank for content
Thank you!
How long it took you to finish the game? Great determination :o
This took me 19 hours to record.
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
My luck in game is totally borked. I'm so jealous.
I farm way more than people think. I just edit it all out
goated gambles
One warcry could have made your run 300% easier, can you guess which one?
Yes
Great run. Your luck was crazy good
Thank you
All the drops!
What a legendary run
Thank you
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 :)
wouldn't imbueing some eth throwing weapons be more effective?
Yes, that could work. I just didn't get any good rolls
I've waited so long
It is here!
Nice video,as always!
(Also second lol)
Thank you!
When are you planing to play phsysical zealot ?
I was recording one yesterday. I'm currently at the character creation screen again
So either a higher drop mod, console naturally has higher rates or you're the luckiest man alive.

Is it good in pvp? I haven't pvp'd in decades
