I am looking to turn both of my barbarians into Hork & gold find

I am pretty sure that these are separate builds maybe not entirely but I know one is mf focused and the other is gold find

Does anyone have a build planner to show me both belts? I tried to look but most of the topics or discuss discussions seem to all be very different so I’m unsure if one thing is better than the other.

Am I specifically just looking for certain brake points like 2000% go find and 500% and higher magic find ?

There are also buildings that don’t kill anything and just join Tz games


Thank you

Are you:

Looking to kill things yourself with a mercenary in trav, to hunt for gold and items/runes?
Looking to have your merc do all of the killing for you in trav, so you can focus on maximizing your gold returns?
Not looking to kill anything, and just supporting with BO/following others to hork?

I would like to clear trav on one barb just for gold so I can gamble at gheed , I would prefer to kill things as fast as possible, even if I’m sacrificing a little bit of gold

I would like to have another bar if this makes sense to Hork uniques others kill , I’ve seen four Sunders drop just last night when I was doing Tz and let the barb take them .

I guess I just don’t know if I need two separate characters or just have the same talent tree and different gear

I think that barb had some amazing rng in their favor.

I would build the first one then. A barb that can clear trav and gold find can also be used to hork respectably, whereas a character built just to hork will have no killability. I imagine a zerker barb is the way to go for you.

Grief mainhand
Stormshield offhand until you have enough confidence in your trav survivability to use other things
Enigma
Have 2 helmets for the situation you're in: IK helm with a guardian's light (prioritize -res, not +damage, a +5/-10 is ideal and does the job just as well as a +10/-10) and a lem for when you trav, and a MF helmet for horking/support like a +3 BO +3 find item coven or a similar IK helm with an ist instead of the lem
Chance Guards/Goldwrap
Dwarf stars x2 for when you run trav, go with nagels when you follow as a horker
Horazon's boots for CBF (plus it makes up for some lost magic resist)
Amulet is whatever you feel you want more of
Weapon swaps can be isted ali baba's for a good hybrid swap, or just have a set of 6 ist crystal swords and 6 lem ones as well to use situationally.

Standard torch/anni
Black cleft should have -res, as +damage doesn't help berserk at all. Look for gold find on it.
Lots of gold find charms, with MF for swaps when you want to follow/hork

Max berserk, BO, find potion, sword mastery, rest of the points into BC or find item, whichever you feel your build needs more of.

Give your merc whatever it needs to survive and help tank/kill. If you can do that with him having a crown of thieves on, all the better, otherwise just build him as you would your normal merc.

I'm sure others will set you up better, but I think this is a reasonable way to build a good barb that does all of what you need.

Everything here looks solid except for putting points into BC - just put those extra points into find item, or howl if you don't want to do that.

I'd like to add that you don't need two separate characters, just gear swaps. You can use a berserk/hork build for both solo trav and group play. The main thing you want to focus on for group play isn't MF/GF but the speed in which you are horking/keeping up with the group. You need to hit the highest fcr breakpoints you can realistically with gear, while also maintaining high movement speed if you don't have a source of teleport.

Last season I was following my warlock buddy in tz tombs, he'd kill shit so fast I couldn't keep up sometimes even with 105 fcr and enigma. I think I was using Ist'ed Suicide Branch(50fcr), Spirit(35fcr), and Arachs(20fcr) to hit the 105 bp. This gave me qol, movement speed, fcr, and i wasn't sacrificing a whole lot. I was also running maras/highlords depending on how things were going. You could easily swap to a 2/20 amulet and avoid using arachs to keep goldwrap equipped.

My GF Berserker Barb:
IK Helmet Cham + Lem
Grief
Sword 5x Lem + -10magic res 50GF uber jewel
Amulet with barb skills, 62 GF (you can aim for FCR, higher GF)
Wealth Armor
Chancies
2x Dwarf
upped Goldwrap
Tripleres boots with 80GF for max res
Invernotry full of WC + GF Grand Charms
Switch: Najs puzzler for teleport
In cube: Blade of Ali Baba with 2x Lem if I want to squeeze out I shiftclick before horking
Might Merc with Flickering Flame

~400MF and 2.3k GF
never dies

A lot to read thanks !

When I am home and my toddler is sleeping I’ll dive into it and see what I already have

Here’s a similar build to what guys are saying. A few gear swaps and should be able to hork well enough. Have fun!
