Weapon Throw is a Fury Spending Barbarian skill unlocked at level 7. The Barbarian hurls a weapon, damaging the target and slowing its speed.
Contents
Background
The Barbarian hurls his weapon at an enemy, maiming the target.
Skill Effects
The following is a very quick list. See the Weapon Throw rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
| Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
 (Level 7) |
Hurl a throwing weapon at an enemy for 210% weapon damage and slowing the movement of the enemy by 50% for 4 seconds. | |
|
Mighty Throw | Increase thrown weapon damage to X% weapon damage. |
|
Ricochet | Angle the weapon to ricochet and hit up to X targets within X yards of each other. |
|
Throwing Hammer | Hurl a hammer with a X% chance to stun the target for X seconds. |
|
Dread Shotput | Expend all remaining Fury to throw a fallen foe which inflicts an additional X% weapon damage for each point of Fury expended to all enemies within X yards of the target. |
|
Stupify | Aim for the head, causing your target to be confused and attack other enemies for X seconds. |
Skill Design
This skill, without runes, causes the barbarian to throw ethereal-looking weapons of various types at the targeted enemy, causing damage and slowing them. The weapons seem to be selected randomly from a pool of possibilities.
Synergies
- Synergies with No Escape passive skill, increasing its damage by 100%. Enemies killed with Weapon Throw will return 20 Fury.
Development
Weapon Throw was first seen at BlizzCon 2009 where it was a Tier IV skill in the Battlemaster Skill Tree. Flux had this to say about it:[1]
I haven’t used it, but one assumes it’s a sort of magical skill, where the melee weapon is not actually discarded, but only projected as a sort of virtual ranged weapon, while remaining in the Barbarian’s hands for additional use. Handy to whip this out once in a while to deal with a pesky ranged attacker, or something with wings?
At BlizzCon 2010, after skill trees were removed, Weapon Throw had been moved up to Tier 2, but seemed otherwise unchanged. Although it was available in the demo, there are no gameplay reports detailing any usage of this skill. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Weapon Throw became a level 7 skill.
In Other Games
Although Weapon Throw is not a skill in Diablo II, all classes in D2 possess the generic skill Throw, which allows the character to, well, throw weapons. All throwing weapons are physical and finite, and can run out unless replenished.
Media
Weapon Throw can be seen in action on video here:
You can find pictures in the Diablo III screenshot and picture gallery:
