Skill Design
This skill, without runes, causes the barbarian to throw ethereal-looking weapons of various types at the targeted enemy, causing damage and slowing them. The weapons seem to be selected randomly from a pool of possibilities.

Skill Rune Effects
The rune effects for Weapon Throw were revealed at BlizzCon 2010 by Wyatt Cheng in the gameplay panel[1]:
- Alabaster rune: Throw a weapon that disorients the target, causing confusion.
- Crimson rune: Increased damage.
- Golden rune: Throw the corpse of a slain enemy for increased damage.
- Indigo rune: Throw a weapon that ricochets, damaging multiple targets.
- Obsidian rune: The Barbarian throws a hammer, stunning foes.
Development
Weapon Throw was first seen at BlizzCon 2009 where it was a Tier IV skill in the Battlemaster Skill Tree. Flux had this to say about it:[1]
I haven’t used it, but one assumes it’s a sort of magical skill, where the melee weapon is not actually discarded, but only projected as a sort of virtual ranged weapon, while remaining in the Barbarian’s hands for additional use. Handy to whip this out once in a while to deal with a pesky ranged attacker, or something with wings?
At BlizzCon 2010, after skill trees were removed, Weapon Throw had been moved up to Tier 2, but seemed otherwise unchanged. Although it was available in the demo, there are no gameplay reports detailing any usage of this skill. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Weapon Throw became a level 7 skill.
In Other Games
Although Weapon Throw is not a skill in Diablo II, all classes in D2 possess the generic skill Throw, which allows the character to, well, throw weapons. All throwing weapons are physical and finite, and can run out unless replenished.
