I am posting because I’m a little curious about Barbarian in Diablo 4.
Does the Barbarian have access to Throwing Weapons? (or does Diablo 4 have throwing weapons at all?) I feel like it’s something the class definitely should have considering it’s growing popularity and updates it had in Diablo 2 recently and Madawac being a relevant character. If the answer is no, perhaps we could get some discussion around this and see where it goes. Perhaps we could get a legendary or ability that changes our main attack into a ranged attack.

Go to Maxroll and read about the Barb. They list all the skills.

It does not appear that there is any Throw Barbarian support. :c
Seriously, why do they not?!?!?!?!?
If it bothers you that much write them a letter and ask. We do not know, and they do not care about this forum.

I’m guessing the same reason shooters and casters don’t have melee support. As it should be.
Truly can’t answer that. I guess they think a Barb is strictly close in melee.
The closest thing to it the Barb seems to have is this:
Upheaval
Tags: Core
Fury Cost: 40
Lucky Hit Chance: 20%
Requirement: Two-Handed Weapon
Damage Type: Physical
Description: Tear into the ground with your Weapon and fling debris forward, dealing {73%} damage.
Enhancement: Upheaval has a {20%} chance to Stun all enemies it damage for {2.5} seconds.
Upgrade 1 (Violent): If Upheaval deals damage to {2} or more enemies you gain Berserking for {2} seconds, or {3} seconds if it deals damage to {4} or more enemies.
Upgrade 2 (Furious): Dealing direct damage to an enemy with a Skill that is not Upheaval causes your next cast of Upheaval to deal {x8%} increased damage, stacking up to {10} times.

I sure that Weapon Throw will be in D4, but as usual it probably won’t be “something to write home about”.
It is probably buried in the backyard with the melee sorceress.
Blizzard apparently hate choices in games. Classes needs to be one narrowly defined thing. So they can sell other narrowly defined classes as DLC later maybe?
An odd approach for an A-RPG for sure.
They can and will expand the skill tree. It would be just stupid not to. So they can add weapon throw later.
Untill then, they have other ranged(very few) skills for now.
For a moment I thought you wanted a class to be able to actually throw another player’s barbarian right into some mob… lol…

Pretty sure that wont stop Blizzard… from not doing it.
Give the Ancient summons an ability to pick up your barb character and throw it for massive damage!
No one tosses a Barbf!
Unless they are on a train.
