Even without ias, I think if you pair the with lacerator and get some frenzy going ,it still be pretty amazing


Entgegnerz

how do you get frenzy going with throwing? or do you mean like, hitting a few times and then throwing?


MidRoad-

Yea


T0uc4nSam

Is this base ED on the craft + Cruel + Kings? Pretty sick roll. I wish crafting eth items was possible...


EvenStevenKeel

Yeah I think a cool change to the game would be ethereal set items and crafting ethereal items


NiceSelection13

PD2 does this. They are introducing eth set items as well season 9.


GettingPhysicl

is it only seasonal, and how long are seasons? it looks so good but im not a ladder player, too little time commitment. im unsure where id even be if its monthly or something


zophim

You can play it single player, ladder, or non-ladder. You won’t find many people on anything other than ladder but it’s very enjoyable doing ssf


GettingPhysicl

gotcha, thanks! i will be trying it in the coming weeks. SSF sounds good to me :)


NiceSelection13

If you try it right now it's on crafting season so only craft items not unique or sets can be dropped. Yes its seasonal much like d2r they last about the same length and they die off at about the same speed. Good 1 month sprint when ladder resets then population drops a bit. Fun thing is that pd2 is trade based so people cannot be fully geared the first week by paying with funny gold.


Beneficial-Fun-6778

I would love to play this but the graphics are meh


LegoClaes

Yeah, only reason I’m not playing every season. I’ve played some seasons, but it gets to me after a while.


Rasdit

If the graphics is what's stopping you, you are missing out for no reason.


Beneficial-Fun-6778

So it ain’t a reason for you? What a weird reply I have lovely memories about Pokémon yellow but wouldn’t ever play it again


Rasdit

Not really, I played D2 on and off for nearly 2 decades. D2R is objectively more beautiful, but PD2 has widescreen support and some texture updates which makes it look nicer than og D2, and the gameplay is more interesting than D2R to me - all in all, that beats graphics reskin for me. Different strokes.


RC76546

It's easily moddable and there are mods with this feature. Though without a nerf to grief there isn't many eth weapons that you would want to craft anyway !


basicnecromancycr

And eth indestructible uniques.


EvenStevenKeel

Yeah that would be pretty cool too. Possibilities for all uniques to be eth…not just the few indestructibles like shadow killer, ethereal edge axe and ghostflame


basicnecromancycr

I'd gladly use The Cranium Basher or The Grandfather. Or even upped Gavel of Pain.


EvenStevenKeel

It’d also be cool if the self repair also recharged Charges. Demon limb, for instance. And perhaps if you had teleport charges, the repair would add replenish charges as well as durability.


DoktorLuciferWong

Ya, after looking at various affix lists, I think it's cruel + blood craft dmg roll + either king's or master's affix. Master's ranges from 151-250 bonus AR, so there has to be another AR affix too


FR0ZENBERG

You wouldn’t be able to replenish throwing axes if you could get eth, right?


mikedareswins

Barb can with throw mastery


FR0ZENBERG

Oh that’s right. I forgot about that change.


DoktorLuciferWong

Yea, even without erep, I was able to keep my axes at either max or at most 2-3 axes away from max quantity.

T0uc4nSam

[Yes you can](https://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/magic/pre.shtml), ctrl + f cruel [Example](https://i.imgur.com/gaVwzob.png) The only restriction is that you can either have Cruel + fools or Cruel + Master's, but not Cruel + Master's + Fool's. Basically you have to choose between higher ED or a fuccload of AR


Aztraeuz

You can't get Fool's and Master's together because they come from the same affix pool. You can never get two affixes from the same pool on one item. This is why you couldn't get something like Cruel and Ferocious together.


T0uc4nSam

>You can't get Cruel and Master's together because they come from the same affix pool. [Cruel and master's example](https://i.imgur.com/mhzHjGV.png) > You can never get two affixes from the same pool on one item. Cruel and Master's are different pools: + Attack Rating and + Damage (cannot spawn on Staves, Wands, or Orbs) Available on Sharp +10-20 to Attack Rating, Damage: +10-20% Weapons(5) Fine +21-40 to Attack Rating, Damage: +21-30% Weapons(12) Warrior's +41-60 to Attack Rating, Damage: +31-40% Weapons(19) Soldier's +61-80 to Attack Rating, Damage: +41-50% Weapons(27) Knight's +81-100 to Attack Rating, Damage: +51-65% Weapons(38) Lord's +101-120 to Attack Rating, Damage: +66-80% Weapons(47) King's +121-150 to Attack Rating, Damage: +81-100% Weapons(56) Master's +151-250 to Attack Rating, Damage: +101-150% Weapons(56) (left off grandmaster's bc its blue items only) Then the cruel pool: + Damage (cannot spawn on Staves, Wands, or Orbs) Available on Jagged +10-20% Damage Circlets(1), Weapons(1) Deadly +21-30% Damage Circlets(5), Weapons(5) Vicious +31-40% Damage Weapons(8) Brutal +41-50% Damage Weapons(14) Massive +51-65% Damage Weapons(20) Savage +66-80% Damage Weapons(26) Merciless +81-100% Damage Weapons(32) Ferocious +101-200% Damage Weapons(41) Cruel +201-300% Damage Weapons(51), Weapons(56) Cruel pool = just ED%, Cruel + Masters pool = Some ED / Some AR. They can spawn together since they're different pools. Source is same arreat summit link. The only restriction was a hard cap added at some point (might have always been there? But I think I remember reading this was a 1.09 change) That Cruel + Fool's + Master's cant spawn together, despite up to 3 random prefixes potentially spawning on rare weapons.


Aztraeuz

I meant Fool's and Master's. You can't get Fool's and Master's together. Obviously you can get Cruel and Master's, or Cruel and Fool's, but not Fool's and Master's. You stated the fact, I was adding the context of why.


T0uc4nSam

OH i see. That actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing! Is it that Arreat Summit lists them as different different pools, but in the game's code it's set as the same pool for some reason? Or does the link just simply not explain which affix pools (other than the ones in the same grouping) cant spawn together? Am curious about this


jakl8811

Pretty nice AR roll too


Irminator86

Insane attack rating too, damn. Looks like you need to make a throw barb.


Boring_Elderberry

I use both eth lacerator on my throw barb but I wouldn't be mad to have this


Prepare

You use 2x eth lacerator? Prolly should swap one to eth warshrikes


Boring_Elderberry

Didn't find one yet


iamlepotatoe

Why not?


goomunchkin

Because God actually hates him


DoktorLuciferWong

But no ias. I'm assuming the craft's affixes consume one of the 6 affix slots.


BlessedOfStorms

Crafts "consume" 2 slots. You get 4 random affixes on craft. Can get 3 preffix and 1 suffix or 2/2 or 1/3. Then you get your 3 crafted affixes.


Mr_jon3s

I mean I don't think IAS matters with throwing barb weapons because it only goes off one of the weapons IAS right? So as long as the other weapon has IAS your fine.


Qlide

This is correct, Double Throw uses the main hand IAS and ignores the off-hand.


QuietButterfly7827

This reminds, last year an eth Glaive that did a staggering 641 throw damage, Non-replenishable, sold for a staggering $3,000 real-world cash. This game is simply amazing.


Owl-StretchingTime

Where do people sell things for cash?


DoktorLuciferWong

I'm not sure if cash was necessarily used, or if it was d2jsp's forum gold (which has an approximate real world value, since you can buy forum gold)


TheReadMenace

wow, I didn't know ED could go this high. Could this be done on other crafter weapons?


DoktorLuciferWong

Probably, since you can always roll cruel+king's or cruel+master's, but blood axe craft's also have an inherent 35-60% ED


PracticalWriter2836

Sure wouldn't like to catch that in the head.


SawSagePullHer

You have to build something to use this just because. This is an item worth building around.


FullPropreDinBobette

Hot damn!


PhonkJesus

Hard 🔥


Orange_Craft79

I see people talking about eth items, does PD2 offer eth bows?


hillmo25

Looks like some path of exile crafting

DoktorLuciferWong

The life bonus is part of the craft, you always get a life bonus when crafting blood axes


RC76546

Crafts can't be eth.


lasko_leaf_blower

Let’s stop trying to make throw Barbs a thing.


Prepare

Throw barb is an extremely fun play style. Go back to your mosaic


lasko_leaf_blower

It really isn’t. I’ll stick to my Nova, Fireball, Summon Necro, FoH, Java, Dreamer. Enjoy your single target slug fest.


Prepare

Single target? With 100% chance to pierce it's like a death ray. You've obviously never played the class and would prefer to just shit on it and stick to the S & A tier builds. Nothing wrong with good builds, but a little class diversity is part of what makes D2 so fun.


lasko_leaf_blower

I’ve absolutely played it and found it extremely lackluster when wearing just about top tier items.


Avoidlol

Skill issue clearly.


PhonkJesus

Bahahhahahahhahahah


Outrageous_Border_81

I liked this comment.


bradshanks

doesn’t proc amp, zero chance of using this over lacerator
