Throw Barb 2017?

Did you compare poison damage per second in d2stats? amatoxin vs falxis.

Using a crafted balanced axe with decent damage (decent for me at least 380max throw)
Truce,Erewan,Invictus,Feather gloves and some abandoned crafted boots.
I've tried for single targets but it just does not get the job done in any decent amount of time. Duriel was even worse lol.
With wolves I have 156k def and my ar is around 26k.
Been switching between snake and wolf as well as kraken but the difference is negligable.
This either means that a throwbarb is only really viable with rather high end gear or he is more for area clearing than boss fights.
I dont even want to imagine how baal would be alike if I ever get there lol.

With truce rw, erawan, invictus, crafted helm gloves boots and balanced axe (438 damage after jah`s, blessing and mo`s with shower of rocks proc) socketed everything with lah runes i have max block, 98k ar (13 points in stamped and maxed wolf), 10k hp and 300k def with wolves. With a switch crafted sword using stormblast and a bloodmage merc allowed me to finish destruction with no problem. Currently farming TA with ease as I am looking to get more sigs before trying harder ubers.

Why did you put 13 points into stampede?

there is no need to switch to sword to use stormblast vs single targets, use 1pt iceburst and you also get free 50% slow

falXIS: 5173-9313/s [91 pierce] - stats spent for max block: 30.
Auhe: 5414-9796/s [113 pierce] - stats spent for max block: 515.

Idk, on paper it looks like minor diff, but ingame killspeed feels way slower with falXIS.

PS: auhe adds 3 ds btw, lol

I dont have much + skill so I had to dump some points in it

maybe there is duration involved, I think amatoxin extends duration of snake, because it is used to be like plague/curare, long duration

I am trying a Lion throw barb.

I love the damage and magic from Lion stance but going melee with 30% more damage taken is way too much for any build. So i think the lion stance is for throw barb. Range, defense and max block should be enough to survive.
What I love about throw barb is you can go to melee without respecting or swatching, and yes, Throw Axes is considered an axe, so you can use Axe tree!

I max Deadalus, Lion stance, Gladiator Dominance, 1 point every axe skill, 10 point Stampede, leftover into Spirit guide.

Currently at 120, clearing easy Ubers. The damage output is just ridiculous. Using all sacred craft gear with + damage and defence, SoR proc, only tier gear is T6 Deadfall Belt.

Play style, just stampede everything 1.5 screen away, if some enemy go near, T.Slam, back few step, Stampede in.

If i success with this build may be I will make a guide ^^

If you want damage, just put 66 points into spirit tree (assuming you get 31% ed from maxed shamanic trance).
That is 2046%, after that it is capped, so more points is wasted.
No downside, pure ewd, and use another stance (crane stance will give you 600-700ed, 20% dodge, and costs 0 points).

someone gotta try playing hybrid summoner thrower with 1pt stampede, there's taha rw and a couple xis rws that are suited for that

Thing is, throw skill aoe clears so fast, summons will not do much. Hard to justify even summoning them.
