==Skillrune Skill Rune Effects==
The following is a very quick summary. See the [[Weapon Throw rune effects]] page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<blockquote>''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?</blockquote>
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. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Weapon Throw was classified as a Tactics skill and moved to level 15.
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Weapon Throw became a level 7 skill.

{{Beta skill notes}}
Weapon Throw remained at level 7 when the beta started. With the Patch 13 changes, it was classified as a Tactics skill and moved to level 15, putting it out of reach for the remainder of the beta. For the [[Beta Patch 14]], it was dropped to level 14.
