Thanks for the addition. I never use strength potions and give the gloves to my contract partner (which is also quite late in the game). I also use randomized loot, so many items are not available. But that's not the problem as I think damage is overvalued, so some losses of damage aren't bad, and the thrower is still strong without this or that, as you said. I like on the other hand the idea of a small framed female Barbarian throwing sticks. What really makes the build for me unattractive is the tedious gameplay while throwing, and not knowing for sure wether the weapon returns. Personal taste.
