That was awesome. Didn't the main page article say weapon throw was worthless? Interesting to see it used here.
Who said it was worthless?! It's the highest damage ability in Beta!
On topic, that guy clearly had WAY too much time on his hands; by the sounds of it, he spent a lot of time crafting items with the most appropriate stat, and judging by Force's videos, that can take a looooong time (and a loooooot of materials)

Don't think it's doable. He has 199 Attack already. Leoric has 1340 something health. He also tried that quite a few times, probably. 2 crits with 37% is like 1 in 7. Requires a Crit-Shrine aswell.
11-19 weapon base
5-10 cold bonus
3-6 ring one
2-6 ring two
21 - 41 total base damage
Attack: 199 => 2.99
Battle Rage: 30% => 1.3
Weapn Throw: 210% => 2.1
Crit Dmg: +164% (50% base, 50% Ruthless passive, 32% weapn, 32% offhand) => 2.64
bonus factor: 2.99 * 1.3 * 2.1 * 2.64 = 21.55
min: 21 * 21.55 = 452.5
max: 41 * 21.55 = 883.5
Video: 819 crit (38 base crit), 859 crit (39.86 base crit)
Leoric doesn't seem to have much Armor/Defense it seems, or he is so far under level that it gets canceled out.

The barb in the video doesn't even have perfect gear. I've seen 35% crit 29.2 axes and a 3-9 ring. Plus his legs/bracers have average attack and could easily get ~50 more.

This is my barb. Pmpch was right, I did try this multiple times. I tried 5-10 times with each class for my videos. As Lord_Scales said, I chose weapon throw simply because it has the highest damage modifier of all available attacks.
Here's how I got my gear:
Shoulder - Crafted in probably 20-30 crafts
Helm - Dropped off of the SK while leveling my 2nd char to 13.
Gloves - Bought on the AH for ~25k gold
Chest - Random drop
Bracer - Crafted in 20-30 crafts
Magic Ring - Random drop
Belt - Bought on the AH for ~10k gold
Rare Ring - Bought on the AH for ~40k gold
Pants - Crafted in <10 crafts
Main Weapon - Bought on the AH for 100k gold
Boots - Crafted in 20-30 crafts
Offhand Weapon - Crafted, I've made a bazillion axes.
Sadly, I lost a very nice ring(as good or better than my current) and a few other items to the AH munching bug in the early beta.
I've spent 40-80 hours on the beta. I know I don't have perfect gear, but I've got the best gear that I've ever seen in most slots.
My amulet(non-existent) and chest are my worst items. I looked into getting a really hard-hitting 2her to try to 1shot the SK, but all of the available 2hers are too low level. The best bracers I've seen had low 20s attack, and I assume that perfect bracers have 25. The legs I have aren't the crafted Hide Breeches, because those max out at 17 attack, where as Chain Leggings likely cap at 20-25.
Assuming I could get an amulet with 10 attack, 25 attack legs, and 25 attack bracers, I could gain 24 attack. Chests with attack seem hard to come by, but if I got my hands on a rare chest with 15 attack and a better ring I think that I could be critting for ~1100-1200.
while it is impressive he is only a mini boss and the guy is like what. 5 levels higher then the king? I'm very excited to see ACT bosses and how epic they are and strong. especially in the later difficulties. i think it'll be pretty damn hard at first to beat the game solo all the way through inferno
What do you think about this guys! non stop spamming weapon throw build.
basically you have the passive relentless that grants you fury cost free skills while below 20% life.
why weapon throw and not other skill? I think the video explains for it but weapon throw is on of the highest damages skill. weapon throw (210%) + crimson rune lvl 4 (increase of 150%)+ no escape passive (100%)+ battle rage with rune lvl7(100%)= Total awesomeness.
dont forget gear and modifiers!!!!!
The idea is that you are in the arena and you got hit and you are below 20% life-it will happen guys-your passive kicks in and you start spamming weapon throw....its free...and its range so the barbarian don't have to get closer and get damage or be kited......dealing with DH and wizards....basically get so such damage that you one shot them.
This is madness.

Barbs rule, btw.
47 max
2.7 crit dmg
3.5 attack (250 attack)
2.1 throw
1.3 rage
=> 1212 max damage
Probably would require a perfect rare 11-19, 5-10 and another +x-y weapon, if that is even possible.

You can get 50% DR with defense, and another 30 from armor, also those crits are because of the 25% crit shrine.
Haven't seen 3-9, but there is a 2-7 in the AH right now for 25/40k.
Chill out, you'll live longer. It's just a bit of fun.
in 2 shots ? yes. you should be. considering the first shot took nearly 65% of his health
A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
yes because this is WoW, gtfo of the D3 forums
He was joking, jeez, what's with you people.
