Subject description: need help plz
 

i have 2 x 2WC prebuff weps so should i just put 1 into shout, battle command and bo?

should i pump as much as i can into throw mast for the CS? or half half in throw mast and double swing for dmg?

so far i've put 3 into throw mast, 1 into prereqs for double throw.

any advice would be great, ty.

I would always suggest maxing BO for your level. (7) Shout and howl will get 1 each as pre-reqs. BC gets 1 ofc.

I don't have the thrower expertise to comment on mastery/double swing point allocation, so I'd wait for someone else to weigh in there.

I'd max out throw mastery and not a lot into double throw.

Better the equip you got, double swing is just mass add.

You don't need to go for more than 17% critical strike from Mastery in your case.

So if you got 20 free points for these, half and half is good, but 8 mastery, 12 double swing would be better.

Also better equip you got, more likely you want to use frenzy Exclamation

Just stack FRW, couple to DT rest to mastry like krajee said. Frenzy is good if you get a chance to use it, it will give you the speed to get away and chuck a few more.

Other tip I can give is to find 2 WC throwing type weapons so if you run out in mid duel you can switch and throw a few more before having to repair.

Other option is one pt to WW for those casters you literally run into.

is it worth putting 1 into the other masteries like iron skin and natural resistance? i don't think i'd spend 1 into frenzy, seeing as tho my skills r limited cuz i'm only norm rushed. 1 into WW i'll consider tho

If you can make up for lack of resistances with gear (charms and/or jewels more than likely) then I wouldn't bother.

I'm not going to say whirlwind isn't useful (it's my favorite skill), but it will be a VERY tough skill investment considering you're norm-rushed. Sad I think it will cost you 5 skill points since you will already have bash as a pre-req.

If this were my build, I wouldn't do it.

I'd recommend against WW, but 1 point resist is usually worth it. Even if all it does is stack your resistance, but its very unusual to get max resistance on a non-shielded LLD with normal gear, sans charms. And really, something like another +20% AR isn't as great as resist that stacks with +skills.

OK so the basics so far, are as follows: lvl 30, maxed bo for my lvl (7), lvl 1 shout and bc, 1 into DT including 1 into prereqs, 3 into Throw mast, 1 into increased stamina, 1 into increased speed, 1 into iron skin, 1 into natural resistance. i have 13 more unused skills. should i put some into throw mast for more dmg, ar, CS, and some into double swing for dmg? or perhaps just pump it all into throw mast?

i'll keep him unskilled as i stated, until i get a bit more advice on what is better. then i'll be keen to duel him.

i haven't got any max/ar sc's on ladd so atm i've just used str and dex charms to get his gear on. i have stats free still too but i'd prefer to have either 15lifers or max/ar sc's but for now, i'll just get the skills worked out, then duel and see how well he works.

ty for all who have helped put input into my cause =)

If you want WW or Frenzy try getting it on your helm so you don't have to waste skill points.

You can either put your rest into Mastery/Throw, or you can consider putting more points into increased speed, since you will need it.
