If you recall, I conducted a playthrough of act 1 a little while back (including the harder encounters), using nothing but shove and throw. It was very doable and uncomfortably more effective than previous plays I'd done with various classes. No class abilities or traits were ever needed... I literally removed all class abilities and spells entirely from my hot bars for the run... why, if I could use throwing potions as well, the entire *concept* of character classes just up and vanishes.
