Thank you so much for the kind words!

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 ❤️

❤️

Yeah this run went very different then what I expected

And turtles in time ❤

Turtles in time is amazing!

Thank you! Glad you liked it, it's such a fun build

No problem 👍

Yes, fully agreed

@@Deatpunch been viable for a few years my friend :)

@@Deatpunch technically all items should be socketable not just throwing weapons. But blizzard never added those features even though most of the industry did

@@kristopherleslie8343 yeah, but playing moded d2r that is vanilla and not over modded is hard to find 😝

@@Deatpunch I’m referring to vanilla kiddo

Such an amazing game

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 :)

Thank you!

Good luck on your run!

Oh that is sick! Gratz

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

Thank you!

You can craft throwing spears as well with the spear recipe. Good call I didn't think of that

Good luck! It's so fun now

Those are amazing! Would have loved to find either

I could have. But I think the damage would be worse than what I did with the merc. Also thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

You can upgrade rare/set/unique items. I recommend just googling the recipes :)

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 :)

Turtles in time is such an amazing game :D

@@thenuclearrabbit fuck yea it was!!

If I died, I died haha

It's on the requested runs list

Thank you

This was my first gambled mara's after 20+ years of playing

Yes, that could work. I just didn't get any good rolls

It is here!

Yes

I loved playing him :) go for it haha

Thank you!

Throwbarb takes patience. But it is very doable. Shout barb is much stronger until you get to the very very endgame gear

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

The rng was crazy on this one for sure

Thank you

Why the sad smiley? Thank you though

@@thenuclearrabbit just a typo while driving broski.

This took me 19 hours to record.

So do I

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 farm way more than people seem to think :) also just luck haha

I farm way more than people think. I just edit it all out

I was recording one yesterday. I'm currently at the character creation screen again

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 :)

Yes

Yeah I love me a barb but I get why people wouldn't :)

@@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!

I can imagine that would do it

Throw barb. If anyone is confused...😂

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

@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.

Thank you

I don't know I never looked into it

Thank you!

Getting resistance is easy.

It's amazing! Doesn't mean it's not hard though

If you get the right gear. I can see people struggling for it on a run like this

@@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.

Sure I'll put it on the list

@@thenuclearrabbit P8/HC/SSF although it is very difficult, but new content will attract viewers

Yo I love that build and have ssf'd plenty of times,so long as you can drop a Bonesnap you'll be okay haha.

I'll get there. Still so many runs in the queue

Yeah, this is far from the worst request in the queue

@@thenuclearrabbit Now I want to know what one of the worst requests are lol!
