Version, purpose and verified scope

The Third Blade turns Mighty Throw into a repeatable Fury spender. Bane of Ahjed-Den, Banished Lord’s Talisman and guaranteed Overpowers provide its burst. This version prioritizes affordable entry and retains all four Arsenal weapons as separate carriers of aspects and attributes.

Patch family 2.2; level 60. Source variant: Default. Author revision: 2025-05-09T04:57:11. This page includes the complete skill allocation, bar, equipment, sockets and board/glyph list. Record and top-rank claims in the source title are not adopted as our own measurements.

Skill, item and glyph names retain unambiguous English planner labels. Numbers in the point table are allocated ranks, not final ranks increased by gear.

Action bar and gameplay

Activate Rallying Cry and War Cry before a pack, use Challenging Shout against incoming damage and throw Mighty Throw through enemies. Save Wrath of the Berserker for elite and boss windows. Bash can occupy the otherwise empty sixth slot as a Fury recovery option; it does not replace a required aspect.

Complete point allocation

Total: 71 paid points; 0 free shape-choice entries. Visible free connectors are not additional paid investment.

Editorial budget adjustment against the retained source: Expose Vulnerability 2 → 3. All other ranks match the selected variant.

Stats, tempering and upgrade order

Obtain The Third Blade and reliable Fury per second first. Then improve Mighty Throw double-damage chance, shout cooldowns, Strength and Overpower. An empty Fury bar reduces actual damage more than another offensive stat increases it.

The table lists attributes from the selected source, with preferred Greater/Masterwork targets first. It does not reuse present-day tooltip percentages as historical values.

Seasonal powers and Talisman package

Boss Powers: one Main Power and three modifiers. This seasonal package has expired.

Editorial Boss Power option: Urivar supports the Ultimate window, Belial Overpower and Sinerat Fire damage. This is a reasoned seasonal addition to the retained gear plan, not a claimed record measurement.

Limits and safe transitions

For farming and initial higher-difficulty progression; not a proven universal record build. Continuous throwing requires working Fury sustain.

Verify resource sustain, protection and core items together before increasing difficulty. An author’s test with particular gear, density or boss phases does not prove identical performance on every character.
