Throwing is Awesome. "Best" things to throw? Makes a difference?

I just started using Barbarian a while ago, and I am loving it. Throwing things while enraged is fun, and it led to many fun and advantageous situations. For example, fighting goblins, picking one up, throwing it at another, both dying or getting prone.

I send most of the junk equipment to her, basically weapons and armors if they're light so she can throw them, and kept a few heavier pieces to test.

Throwing Goblin Scimitars/Shields, leather armor, etc. I'm not noticing a definitive difference, so it's possible they're all the same, influenced by weight/attack, or I just got random rolls.

I remember hearing about 1 shot kills using crates and telekinesis in Divinity Original Sin 2, so they said it was the weight that does more damage. So I'm wondering if it's the same thing here.

Since you can pick up the weapons afterwards, I don't really need most of the throwables she keeps, but since they're spares, Its easier to sell when I have a good amount.

I just want to know which items I should use, and which I shouldn't for damage/prone potential.

She also has a ring that increases throw rolls or something, which is something I thought was useless when I first got it.

Best things to throw? A certain someone throws some kind of hand grenades, well, hand skulls, really. You can return them to sender.

Early on I found the Returning Pike.
My barb has had the best damage, the highest accuracy, the highest range and the most attacks out of everyone since then to now.
I'm sure there are far more borken stuff but that thing slaps.

I keep bones to throw as well. Fear tactics.
"This could be yours next.." If I had a system where I take the skull of each victim, and use that skull for the next victim, so on and so on. Traditions are born.

I either haven't found this or didn't realize it's potential. I'll look it up. Thanks!

Grenades are a mad bomber's best friend. They are a nice way for everybody to enjoy their own AoEs. That and smokepowder arrows. Orthonic skull bombs set people on infernal fire that is hard to extinguish. Runepowder explosive .... well, let me just warn you, throw that sucker FAR from where you are, THEN light it with a fire arrow.

Alas, I've found the concussion grenades I've grown to love can only be taken with you out of Wyrm's Rock on balanced. In tactician, those suckers usually explode in your hands if you try and pick them up. It's a shame, because I enjoy feeding them to Emperor's face.

After Grenades, I would say the next best thing to throw is Nyrulna. As long as it actually returns like it's supposed to. It usually does, but not always.

Telekinesis is awesome in this game. See that douche raining arrows on your from up on that ledge. Well - if they fail their save - watching their face meet the ground is very, very fun. Better yet - yeah - forcing them to land on top of somebody else - even better.
