Diablo 2 Throwing Weapons Guide

No adventurer interested in self-preservation can deny the peace of mind provided by finely-balanced throwing knives. A quick barrage of knives can inflict great damage, making them unequaled as ranged weapons.

To Throw a Throwing Weapon, equip it, then select Throw on the left or right action button.

Throwing weapons can be used for both their throwing damage, and to make a melee attack. Select Throw to throw the weapon or, Attack to use it as a melee weapon.

The Barbarian can throw two weapons at once with his Double Throw skill. He can also use Throwing Mastery to increase the amount of damage and attack when throwing weapons.

Throwing weapons can be replenished by repairing them at the Vendors.

Throwing Weapons cannot be socketed.

Throwing Weapon speeds are listed by Class: Ama = Amazon, Asn = Assassin, B = Barbarian, D = Druid, N = Necromancer, P = Paladin, S = Sorceress.
