Final skill points for Throwbarb?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Hi,

my level 73 Throwbarb (SP) is now in Hell Act1 and has just rescued Cain.
And he could do this easily at /players 2-3. He has his primary skills
maxed or close to and I wonder where to go next..

Skills: Stats:

DS 20 STR: 146
TM 20 DEX: 168
AM 5 VIT: 210 = 1382 Life
IS 3
NR 4 After BC/BC/Shout/BO
Shout 2
BO 16 Life: 2368
BC 2 DEF : 6796

Resists: 59/72/67/31
All other skills (pre-reqs) are at 1 or zero. Secondary attack is Conc or
Vengeance (from Kingslayer axe).

He has Angelic Wings/Halo for the AR, which puts him at 7K AR for
throwing axes and about 6K AR with the Kingslayer Axe and Conc/Vengeance.
Any other good sources for AR?

He's currently using Sigon's Guard as shield (for the +1 all skills).
Which other shield should he look for? I'm partial for the Blackoak
shield with the life and dex boosts and ctc Weaken?

And where to put the next few skill points? 5 more points in NR would get
me +10 res all.. Some more points in Shout and BC to get some more
duration..

Other equipment is Duriel's Shell (upped and socketed), Harlequin Crown
(socketed with UM). HF merc has Hone Sundan, Delirium helmet and STONE
armour.

Thanx,

Oliver

No matter what kind of barb I build, I always max BO. Another
worth-mentioning skill is Battle Cry. It's particularly
useful against bosses -- run to him and BattleCry, then run
off to throw. I consider it the ultimate barb-curse.

Raven Frost? Demon Limb in stash (and get it out to cast
enchant while you're in town flirting with Akara)?

Spirit (if you don't need block)? Tiamat's Rebuke (for more
elemental damage and resists)? Gerkes or SS (can't do better
for protection)? The undocumented Bing's Wisdom set shield
(+5 all skills, +95% resists, +90% CB, +150% enhanced
damage/durability)?

I might put more points into BO later. One question about Battle Cry,
though. Can it be overwritten by Decrep or Terror/Confusion?
My first Throwbarb's merc had Reaper's Toll and Delirium helmet, so I never
needed additional help with bosses. Anyhow, I'll put my next point into
Battle Cry.

I have never found a Raven Frost ring, and would happily swap my SoJ
against 2 or 3 of it. I have Demon Limb, though, and this could be a good
way to go. But I'll wait and see how he does in later acts.

I only have Gerke's Sanctuary. But 74% blocking would be nice against
ranged attackers.

yes it does over right other curses
you will proberly best to only put 1 point and use it only on the bosses
