I just got a barb to 60 and was always intending on making it a throw barb. The guide post seems to be out of date, though it still has some useful information. I built a gear set around it's information and can cope with MP4 fairly easily. I'd just like to try to get up to MP6 or 7.
So, I was just wondering if I've done anything glaringly stupid, or if I could get some kind of idea on item upgrades, mainly which items are my worst and should be dumped in the bin asap. My budget is ~250m.
I've never played a barb before, and other than going for IAS, CHC and Str, I've barely any idea what I'm doing. Any help is appreciated.
Well, thanks to you, and a couple who whispered me, I've made some improvements.
Replaced my rings with CHC+CHD. Also got Ice Climbers, BTlegs, IK chest and hat. Crit mempo is a bit out of my league at the moment.
Changed BR rune to Bloodshed. Decided not to use Into the Fray because my fury generation is enough. I'll give it a go later to see how long I can go with wotb.
But yeah, I've noticed a marked improvement in damage. That is, I've gotten 2-3x more damage than before. Before, my limit was MP4, now it's MP6, maybe even 7 if I push my luck. Thank you all very much.
Edit: Profile should be up-to-date now too.

Yeah, that was going to be my next step after crafting an amulet. Got a reasonable one considering it was my 20th craft or so, so I just moved on to shoulders now and got fairly lucky again, 5th craft. Up to 32.6k hp now, and with my 3% ll and 417 loh, I can cope pretty well against most packs.
And I'm not sure I want to drop IP or WC because I duo a lot and they're both just invaluable skills. Plus, I have 59.50% crit, which I think is ample for the time being.

I've upgraded quite a few items now, and my profile should be updated, but it seems most items are going to cost me a fortune to upgrade.
So before I think of putting down an obscene amount of gold on an item, are there any suggestions of which items are letting my gear down the most and should be replaced?
Thanks.
Oh, and I've gotten my build down to just how I like it now. I've been playing around with runes and other skills a lot the past few days and I just keep going back to my current build, so please don't comment on that.
I'm also able to cope with MP8 now, though Wallers tend to give me hastle, not because I can't run away, but because I can't throw through them, and lose my life leech. Any help getting me even a little closer to MP10 is definitely appreciated.

I'd get more LS. Either get on your EF or drop that ef for a comparable rare with LS. That and you just need more EHP (life + resistances). Once you get more ehp and LS you can drop ignore pain for Overpower- KS.
Not sure axe throwing barb "works" with the current meta. But if you want to never ever farm mp10, be my guest.
Please don't bother with those kinds of posts. Throw barb works fine and it's the only Barb build I'm interested in. With the low budget I had and the advice given here I've gotten into a state where I can solo MP8 with very little trouble. If I had a higher budget, I could definitely get it to MP10.

What i do for AoE dmg when im using weapon throw is Seismic Slam with the DoT rune. I can keep WoTB up a lot better using Wep Throw/Siesmic Slam even better than Rend/Sprint/WW spec. Plus its fun juggling monsters with Siesmic Slam.

I guess I'll try crafting some more items, see how my luck holds. ^^
And yeah, having to rely on BR-Bloodshed for AoE damage is kinda annoying.
