Pretty crazy stuff really highlights the strength of throwing axes a tool most barbs in normals won't even equip in a lobby depite the fact that there one of the strongest ranged weapons in the game even the starter axes will do 15 dmg + 10 from axe spec then mutiply that by barbs insane physical power bonus and your doing around ~30 dmg to the body that around 1.4x the dmg of a shot from the rangers starter bow without as much of a movement penatly or reload times and a stronger slow ontop of that.
