The Double Throw Barbarian, often called Throw Barb, is a high-velocity ranged physical damage dealer in Diablo II: Resurrected Ladder Season 13. This build leverages Double Throw and Throwing Mastery to hurl weapons at incredible speeds, excelling at elite hunting and farming on high player counts. With proper gear, it becomes a D2R Ladder Items fast-paced powerhouse capable of clearing Terror Zones, bosses, and even Uber Tristram.

Build Overview and Playstyle

Double Throw fires two throwing weapons in a straight line, benefiting from pierce chances and synergies. Throwing Mastery boosts damage, attack rating, critical strikes, and provides crucial quality-of-life features like not consuming quantity and replenishing on crits—making ammo issues nearly nonexistent in endgame.

Strengths include safe ranged play, excellent single-target and piercing AoE damage, strong magic find potential, and versatility for solo or party play. Weaknesses are high gear dependency, physical immunity challenges (mitigated by procs and sunders), and a repetitive attack style. Use Frenzy for attack speed and run/walk buffs, Grim Ward for physical resistance reduction, and Battle Orders/Command for party buffs.
