Good throwing spear for PK?

Sorry if this weapon is noobish and not good. I just found this and thought it might make for a good throw barb if they still exist. I dont do the PvP thing so I dont know....

271 psn dmg??? ive never seen so much psn dmg on a lvl 18 weap

I'm afraid the damage is FAR too low to ever kill anything with that. At that level, you'd preferably want to be using war javelins; ethereal w/ repair if possible.

Edit: and the poison damage is only about 30 per second, assuming 0 poison resist, so I doubt it would help very much. Poison in general works too slowly to get chickeners.

Decent elemental damage, but the poison/sec is over 9 seconds, which hurts... Also, lack of 20% IAS kills any use for it, a basically perfect weapon is near worthless without 20% ias, 20% ias on a war jav or throwing spear makes it or breaks it.

I see, like I said, I had no idea if it was good or not lol. Thx.

The odds of finding a 20% ias war jav eth with repair is almost null. And if you found one for lvl21 or under the chances of it stacking good damage makes this war jav you speak of one of a kind. I used throwers throughout my Diablo career and I've never used a 20%ias war jav for a barb. Decent damage for a lvl18 war jav is 70+, I'd love to see a screeny of any war jav with 20%ias and 70+ damage... Get the ias from other items, like death's, sigs, twitch etc. I understand there's a bp to break but I personally have never seen a 20%ias war jav with decent damage at that level, isn't the req for 20%ias higher than that??

 

[Matt]

No, 20% IAS is avaliable before 18, I think its 16 or 17. I'm not talking about throwers here, because they are all but nonexistant in any dueling games I have seen... I saw one amazing one at level 15 (amazing as in 700 pvp dmg in a few throws, 1 hander) I was more talking about jabberzons, and in that case, I would use a 20% Ias magic throwing spear or war jav over one with perfect ED and no IAS, IAS is simply needed for the build, theres no 2 ways about it, you NEED 20% IAS on your jabbers weapon to be effective.

I didnt mean that you needed one with awesome ed, +max AND IAS to be effective, I meant that IAS trumps the other 2, and Ideally, you would have them in that order, speed then damage, obviously, more damage is better, but not at the cost of speed.

I dont know about 1.1, but having seen some of webby's builds in 1.09, I think you would be pleasantly suprised (and somewhat appalled on the other hand) to see the near-perfection that actually comes about now and then. Course, with her, it wasnt just the spears that were perfect. It was everything.

Death's Sash and Gloves would counter that weapon in 1 second.

perfection is a b*tch indeed. I had a 100 max clvl 16 eth warhammer just after 1.10

 

[Relativity]

I had a 150 max eth great maul lvl 13 req, and it was damn nice on a charger (1 hit ko's plenty of times). I also saw someone who showed me their lvl 12 eth war hammer that did 84 (iirc) damage. It was very nice.

And as for webby, she is an insane perfectionist when it comes to her dueling builds. Not one duel before she has flawless gear.

 

[Baranor]

hehehe then she definately should not play with my latest assassin creation... talk about less than perfect gear. ill post stats when done.

The best item I've EVER seen was owned by a btk'er...I can't remember his name but he goes to Harvard...Kime or Rah help me out?! Anyway, back in 1.09 he had a lvl18 claw: 85max/ethereal/repair/life leech...I believe there was no jewel it in either. This was b4 maphack and I believe he had over 100 ears.

I had a sweet claw for my 14asn; 69max rare with cold damage and lots of AR.
