Throwing Mastery is a Barbarian Skill in Diablo II.
Lore[]
Although not as well known for their use of bows and other such ranged weapons, hunters from the Steppes have practiced the use of thrown weapons since earliest times. The open grasslands of their native soil are well suited for taking down game with swift and accurate blows from a hurled blade. It seems a natural evolution and a simple matter for them to have transferred this skill to combat.
General Information[]
Throwing Mastery is one of the Barbarian weapon mastery skills, passively improving the Barbarian's fighting skills when throwing a weapon. Its effect applies to all thrown categories, including potions and Double Throw.
Piercing granted from this skill stacks with bonuses from items such as Razortail or Wisdom.
When used in melee, throwing weapons gain benefit from their respective Mastery class (such as Axe Mastery for Throwing Axe and Spear Mastery for javelins) and not from this skill (i.e. only one mastery is applied to an attack, depending on how the weapon is used).
