Throw Barb 2017?

But for duncraig sword offhand is better, and runemaster. Then you hit over 1mil no prob.
Low hp is bit of an issue, you also dont have 50% DR, but it is still enough there.
Only prob are those silly small rooms, 3s teleport not enough.
I was considering even carrying blink oskill item on switch, to specifically use blink in those rooms, so you stun these guys before they can throw. Only for those teleports.

I'm assuming you have all charms and 500 sigs ?

You can get 300k defense with just spirit guide easily, with just basic charms.
Invictus is your friend, 1% defense per rune from class charm, and dont use many RW.

Got it. My barb is great so far, can farm dcow/Tran easily still a little slow in fautz but progress nonetheless.

Guys I just hit level 120 with my throw barb. I'm playing online.

My gear so far is pretty bad, i can't farm anything in terror, and I need shrines to make most of the gear.

What should I do?

Gear so far :

Weapon : t6 Rock Shafter
Armor : T6 Jitan
Helm : Nasrudin
Gloves : featherclaw
Belt : Deadfall
Boots : LionPaw
Shield : Invictus
Ammy : 1 skills and res
Ring 1 : Res
Ring 2 : Res

I can't even find rings with +skills :S

What should I do now?

You can farm unique rings even in act 1 normal by running andariel so.. get two empyrean bands.
Belt - if you find sacred plated belt, make vith runeword.
Gloves and boots, crafts, for start i'd get both dex to help reach block as soon as possible.
Chest, I'd use t6 full plate or gothic for more defense.
Weapon also craft as soon as you can.

Getting bunch of first easy charms, you do with different spec, many with build that involves fortress.

What Shrines do I need to use ? Abandonned?

I'm trying out 4x poison runes in shield for +skills & increased chance to block - less dex required. So far working fine, but I wonder whether the dr% loss from Invictus will hurt.

Yes, double abandoned craft for gloves,, boots, and maybe helm until you find better gear. For weapons you may want creepy shrines instead.

What does double abandonned shrine mean?

You craft it with Abandoned, and bless it with Abandoned.

max: daedalus, spirit guide, block passive
10pt wolves, 1-15 stempede (depends on your +skills/amount of charms), wolf stance - rest (~10).
1pt immortal and thundergod

get crafted axe with deadly strike mo, max damage roll and proc, sor/spikenova
use 2 dex crafts with lah runes, dump some points into dex to reach 2265 dex for 75% block, rest into str
shield - invictus, chest - nih rw, belt - truce, you want stack as much %dr as possible

Something like that shreds through TA.
If you want to clear fauztinville, then either bloodmage merc with one item that has teleport when struck (thur circlet works). He never dies and 1-shots necrobots. But if you want clear 100%, he isnt very fast.
Or faster, do same build but put points into rebound. Having 1pt into screaming eagle helps a lot too.
For duncraig, either stempede and ignore physical immunes, or rebound and deal with enemies behind wall, learn what order of rooms to attack, so rebound doesn't target stuff in "wrong" rooms. For TA/Cows id use stampede.

Thank you so much for this, getting a bloodmage is the best thing ive done so far this ladder <3
