→Introduction
The Barbarian's Throwing Mastery works with throwing axes, knives, and javelins when they are thrown. It does not work for melee. His Axe Mastery works with throwing axes during melee, but not when throwing. He has no Javelin Mastery, and throwing knives are Dagger Class, not Sword Class, so he has no Mastery to help there. His best bet is to use Axe Mastery and melee with throwing axes, or keep a weapon handy in the weapon switch slot in the Expansion.
* '''Damage Bonus''': This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. All throwing weapons in D2 are 100 Str, while in D2X they are 50Str/50Dex. (I think in HK's Edit: classic with the newest-current 1.12 patch the damage is now has the same damage bonus of 0.5 str/0.5 dex as LOD does, at 50Str/50Dexleast with the 1. Not 100% confidently confirmed yet12 patch. -HK)
* '''Item Level''': Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item, and it factors in when you get to gamble for this item type as well. Check full Mlvl stats on Darkness.
* '''Weapon Speed''': A relative comparison to other weapons of the same type. 0 is the base -10, -20, etc is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower by one frame per 10.
