The [[rune]]s for Weapon Throw were discussed at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. [[Wyatt Cheng]] narrated a short video of them in action<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-gameplay-panel-transcript/P2/ Diablo 3 Gameplay Panel Transcript] - Incgamers 23/10/10</ref>:
<blockquote>Here we have a skill for the Barbarian called Weapon Throw , allows him to throw a big weapon and this is the [[Crimson]] [[Runerune]], it just adds more damage, makes Weapon Throw a kind of one shot skill and then another ([[Obsidianrune]]) that let's you throw a hammer that stuns characters which is great for [[PvP]]. Another ( [[Alabasterrune]] ) that causes confusion which is a good crowd control version and then we have one ([[Indigorune]] rune) that ricochets which is good for [[AoE ]]. Then we thought it would be really cool for the Barbarian to have an ability to throw a corpse ([[Golden Runerune]]).</blockquote>
With that said, the rune effects for weapon throw are as follows:<br><br>
* [[Crimson rune]]: Increased damage.
==Development==
In the previous skill system iteration, there were three trees and skills had dependencies, much like in Diablo II. However, as of '''Weapon Throw''' was first seen at [[BlizzCon 20102009]] that changed. The Weapon Throw where it was a Tier IV skill used to require points spent into in the [[InspirationBattlemaster Skill Tree]], which was a new skill in . At [[BlizzCon 20092010]], after skill trees were removed, Weapon Throw had been moved up to Tier 2, but seemed otherwise unchanged. Currently (OctoberAlthough it was available in the demo, 2010) there are no gameplay reports detailing any usage of this is not the caseskill.
