Best Diablo 4 Mighty Throw Barbarian build in Season 7

Diablo 4’s Mighty Throw Barbarian build takes advantage of the class’ newest skill to dominate Season 7. Here’s how to put it together.

It’s a new dawn in Diablo 4 as players get stuck into the Season of Witchcraft. Thanks to a few backend changes, the Barbarian has a tonne of new build options.

While the Mighty Throw skill only made its debut in Diablo 4 Season 6, it has become a real contender in the class’ rotation. A build focusing on the skill has made an impressive showing in our Barbarian tier list.

If throwing your arsenal of weapons at unsuspecting foes sounds like your idea of a good time, you’ll want to try out the Mighty Throw Barbarian build in Diablo 4 Season 7. This guide will go over the best skills, gear, and other additions to set it up.

The key component of the Mighty Throw Barbarian build in Diablo 4 Season 7 is The Third Blade Unique one-handed sword. This changes Mighty Throw from a cooldown-oriented skill into a Core skill that costs Fury instead.

This means you can spam the skill reliably and also benefit from Aspects that boost your Core skills like Limitless Rage. You can also get around its initially low AOE by tempering your Mighty Throw Pulse size and adding the Aspect of Herculian Spectacle allowing you to throw three weapons instead of one.

Couple all of this with some guaranteed Overpowers thanks to Bash and some boosted Overpower damage from Hammer of the Ancients and Tempering and you’re good to go. With the right setup, you can do trillions of damage with this build.

Best Earthquake Barbarian skill rotation

This is the best rotation for an endgame Mighty Throw Barbarian in Diablo 4 Season 7. Employ your skills in the following order:

• Rallying Cry
• Steel Grasp
• Bash
• Mighty Throw
• Call of the Ancients
• Hammer of the Ancients

Begin encounters with Rallying Cry for an increase in Movement Speed, Unstoppable, and some quick Fury generation. Thanks to your Yen’s Blessing boots, you should be able to sustain these buffs and keep Rallying Cry almost permanently active.

Cast Steel Grasp to pull enemies in and group them up so that you can cast Bash. Thanks to its upgrades and the Bash Cleaves Temper, as long as you hit four enemies, your Mighty Throw will Overpower for massive damage. Alternate between Bash and Mighty Throw to mow down enemies.

Use Call of the Ancients whenever cooldowns permits for more damage and Fury generation. If you can time it correctly, Overpowering with Hammer of the Ancients will boost your overall damage for even bigger Mighty Throw numbers.

Challenging Shout and War Cry will pop periodically thanks to your Runes meaning you should always have a suite of buffs and Berserking active.

Best Mighty Throw Barbarian Arsenal set-up

Some Skills offer benefits when assigned to specific weapons and Legendary Aspects that boost power after swapping weapons.

These mechanics require Barbarians to assign different abilities to different weapons using the Skill Assignment pane. This is done by opening the character window, navigating to the Abilities tab, and selecting Skill Assignment.

For the Mighty Throw Barbarian, assigning Bash to your Two-Handed Mace is the best option thanks to the bonuses from its skill enhancements. Mighty Throw itself should be equipped to your Polearm to gain weapon-swapping bonuses and synergize with certain Paragon bonuses.

Using different weapons also upgrades their Weapon Technique so swapping between them while leveling is a good idea for maxing out your potential power. You can assign one Weapon Technique which grants a permanent passive buff, regardless of the weapons you are using.

In this Mighty Throw Barbarian build, you should set your Technique Slot to the Two-Handed Axe. This will make all your attacks deal an extra 10% damage to Vulnerable enemies.

Best Mercenaries for Mighty Throw Barbarian

For an endgame Mighty Throw Barbarian build in Diablo 4 Season 7, you’ll want to set Subo and Raheir as your Mercenary combo for some crowd control and damage buffs.

Subo should occupy your Hired Mercenary slot thanks to his Seeker ability which gives you increased resource generation for killing a marked enemy. He also has native sources of Stun and Slow thanks to his basic attacks and Coverfire ability, as well as a flat 25% damage boost.

Raheir is your Reinforcement Mercenary and you should use his Crater ability as a means of pulling in enemies to maximize your potential to Overpower and create easy targets for Mighty Throw.
