D2R 2.5 Throw Barb Build - Double Throw Barbarian Build Guide for Diablo 2 Resurrected

This Diablo 2 Double Throw Barb build by Alzorath mainly focuses on the skill tree and equipment setup, especially the selection of weapons items.

Skill Tree

When it comes to core skills for this Double Throw Barb build, there are only three primary skills and lots of one-point nodes. The first one is obviously the Double Throw skill, which boosts damage and attack rating, and also gets a synergy. From Double Swing, we can get a boost to damage effect, with one point wonders on this tree, you can either go Frenzy or Leap Attack, the second one is recommended if you are not going to run Enigma on this build, it is not range limited and can go all the way to the edge of the screen. The next primary skill is Throwing Mastery on the Combat Masteries tree, for point skills, Natural Resistance is the most important one, then Increased Speed is very handy. On the third tree, Find Potion is the skill that determines the minus physical resist.

- Combat Skills: Double Throw 20, Double Swing 20, Leap Attack 1, Leap 1

- Combat Masteries: Throwing Mastery 20, Natural Resistance 1, Increased Speed 1, Increased Stamina 1,

- Warcries: Find Potion 20, Shout 1, Battle Orders 8, Battle Command 1, Grim Ward 1

Gear

- Weapons: In terms of the best weapons for this Barbarian build, there are a handful of good ones, but the three D2 items worth highlighting are Lacerator, Warshrike, and Gimmershred. Shreds are a super cheap weapon to keep on swap for physical immunes, if you don't like Lacerator and you just want something that will punch out a decent amount of Elemental damage for ghosts as such great for lower player counts that sadly will not scale to higher counts, but it is still a fun weapon to swap and useful for its purpose. Speaking of Lacerator, this one actually scales well and is actually best in the slot for a peak build, but it has the annoying conflicting curse thing going on, so if all you're doing is boss hunting, going with that will be a lot faster, it is one of the best weapons for killing bosses, uniques, and champions.
