Mighty Throw Technique Slot

Weapon Expertise
Two Handed Mace Expertise Lucky Hit: Up to a 10% chance to gain 5 Fury when hitting an enemy. Double the amount of Fury gained while Berserking. You deal 15% increased critical strike while Berserking.

The best Weapon Expertise to choose for the Mighty Throw build is the Two-Handed Mace expertise. Since we will be stacking a lot of cooldown reduction, this build will be in a Berserk state all the time, so this class specialization fits in well for the build.

Mighty Throw Build Best Boss Powers

Summary			Skills and Passives			Boss Powers			Aspects and Affixes
Gems			Mercenary			Paragon			Playstyle

Boss Power	Effect/Modifiers
Lord Zir's Blood Pool	Effect: After you damage an enemy, spawn a pool of blood that deals XX Bleeding damage per second over 4 seconds. You can have up to 3 active pools.
Harbinger of Hatred's Volley	Modifier: Casting a Basic Skill while at Maximum Resource spends it all to make all Nearby enemies Vulnerable. Activating your Main Boss Power grants XX increased Vulnerable Damage for 5 seconds.
Lilith's Wind of Hate	Modifier: Hitting an Elite enemy with a Main Boss Power creates an inert Blister Clone with 10% of their Maximum Life for 15 seconds. Killing the Blister removes XX of the Elite's Life. An Elite can have up to 1 Blister active at once, and a Boss can have up to 2 Blisters. Enemies with Resilience cannot spawn Blisters.
Sinerat's Flames	Modifier: Gain XX increased damage to all Elements. For each 1% of an Element's Resistance from bonuses, gain 0.2% increased damage for that Element, up to a maximum of XX.

Lord Zir's Blood Pool is chosen for its consistency, as the condition required to trigger this boss power is easy to meet. The main highlight of this boss power is the Harbinger of Hatred's Volley modifier, which is used to expend Fury all at once.

Used in conjunction with the Ring of Red Furor, this makes the next attack a guaranteed critical strike, further enhancing Mighty Throw.

Mighty Throw Build Gems

Armor	Weapons	Jewelry
Ruby	Emerald	Diamond

Emeralds on the weapon slot helps with boosting the damage consistency as this build should also be stacking as much Critical Hit Chance as much as possible. As for the Jewelry slots, use Diamonds cap your Resistances or Armor.

List of All Gems

Mighty Throw Best Runewords

Runeword 1	Runeword 2
Cir Kry	Igni Qax

For the runes, we will use Cir and Igni to increase Offering Capacity and to passively generate it. Frenzy will be the skill used to store more Offering stacks.

Kry is used to group enemies via the Spiritborn's vortex, and spent with Qax to further increase our damage.

Mercenary	Reinforcement
Raheir	Varyana

Use Varyana as Your Main Mercenary

Subo will be our main Mercenary. Thanks to her skill Seeker, this allows us to easily identify targets, and gain extra resource upon slaying marked enemies.

The rest of the skills that will be taken focus on crowd control, such as Wire Trap, Ready at Hand, Cover Fire, and Opening Fire, which will mainly benefit us during Mighty Throw downtime as we build more Offering stacks with Frenzy.

Subo Mercenary Guide and Best Skills

Use Raheir For Reinforcement

With Raheir as our Reinforcement Mercenary, he can save use from dicey situations with the Bastion skill set to trigger when we are hit with a Control Impairing Effect. This skill gives us Unstoppable and allows Raheir to instead take most of the damage dealt to us.

Summary			Skills and Passives			Boss Powers			Aspects and Affixes

The build will follow a basic 12-second rotation, banking all of our stored damage and unleashing it all at once with Mighty Throw. The build will play around the timing of the Bone Breaker Paragon Node and the Bane Ahjed-den Unique, so if you use Mighty Throw at the 12th second, the skill will do the most damage. The rotation is as follows:

Use Wrath of the Berserker and War Cry to buff yourself up.
Start attacking targets with Frenzy to build up Fury.
At the 11th second mark, disengage from the enemy.
Use Mighty Throw at the 12th second mark.
Rinse and Repeat.
