Been leveling a throwbarb and it's a lot of fun. Anyone tried this direction yet and have any pointers for me?
I use a fast one-hander and a shield; so far he doesn't appear to need any defensive passives, but I'll be able to judge his survivability better once I'm in the 60s and not quite so twinked out. But I like the idea of him with a shield so chances are he'll stick with it.

Blizzard appears to be down at the moment so here's the build I'm going for: http://www.d3head.com/calculator/ski...V85zF850n8zFjH

I'm also toying with trying a physical, lightning or cold-based build, particularly since I don't have any builds for the former yet.

One thing I will say is that the Ancients are pretty scary. The cooldown is hella long but man, what a panic button. It reminds me a great deal of Fetish Army.
