I would go for a 3os Avenger Guard with as close to 50 def I can get, however my question is, should I go for a +3 throw mastery, 3+Double Swing or 3+ to shout? or an complete different skill... Question

Don't use an Avenger Guard. Throw barbs don't need defense, and it's not worth wasting the strength to use one.

The only skill you need to look for is +3 Throw Mastery. If I had to pick a secondary skill after that, I'd opt for either +3 Spear Mastery or +3 Double Throw, but they're both pretty pointless.

But avenger guards are more aesthetically sound than any other barb helm.

Its for a lvl 18 throwbarb

I played around witha throwbarb on sp. and I made more damage by pumping Double swing and then the rest in mastery than the other way round.

Looks means alot to me so I'm using an Assault Helmet instead

Did you factor critical strikes and chance to hit into the equation?

If you like looks, go for an assault helmet. I prefer having an extra 60 life myself. Of course, assuming you use strength charms to wear your helmet, no one will even see it anyway.

@ Heprea, I'm not expert either and I've never made one before, but you're calculations they do make sense.

thanks for clearing it all up for me guys! Now I just need the helmet... would hell pits be a good place to look for it?
