Patriarch Symon(1.11)
WTF? Dash has another pat having just finished one barely a week ago?
WTF? It's another barb?
WTF? Dash still plays D2?
Well, I indeed did decide to play some D2, and this time it was with my thrower, one that I made way back when I had to restart 1.10 due to a HDD Crash.
He got parked in act 1 hell because his overall gear(not weapons, just the other stuff) was sub par and his kill speed even on players 1 was questionable. Lack of attack rating made things difficult as well.
Well, after putting a few spins on his gear selection, and swapping around a couple more items, I came up with a decent amount of gear that made him completely viable. At first I kept his normal setup of 2x Lacerator, with 2x Ethereal Lacerators on switch, but I remembered I had Warshrikes now. Which were much more gg.
This turned my throwbarb into a Throwbarb/Nova sorc. Nova flying off at insane speeds, and the fact that I was MPing with a few others when he went from Act 2 -> Act 5 meant he didn't have to worry -too- much about strategy. Just throwing knives at ridiculous speeds. And when in a party of a couple paladins, he would deal a lulz amount of damage.
Well, here he is, and any questions can be answered afterwards.

So yeah. He was a lot less boring to play than the frenzier, although after his equipment revision, I can't say that it was making it much more "fun". Not to mention self replenishing weapons don't self replenish fast enough in most cases.
No Hellforge drop for this guy yet. The group we were MPing with had a couple of nubs who had already finished the game and were giving us WPs and helping us totally hax our way through the remainder of the game with little to no effort. All was gg.
Any questions?
