Fort or wealth? Don't think enigma is that useful here. Use wealth but leaning towards fort

Whats your weapon choice?

Best option would be getting x2 6Lem CS + Enigma.
You will be dealing no damage but your merc can 1 hit anything. Use teleport to navigate through monsters and focus them properly with merc.

Other option would be proper weapons that deal damage (grief, botd, whatever.) in which case you can take Wealth since you can run and 1 hit anything yourself


I'd personally lean towards x2 Lem'd CS + Enigma for more GF% and more mobility
iirc GF runs are being done on Nightmare Travincal on which merc can smash anything with mediocre equipment.
Hell runs give more gold, but they actually require high end gfg eq and it's still gonna be time consuming while in the end of day, it wont make such a huge gold difference per run, but you'll do 2+ NM runs by the time you do 1 Hell
Iirc NM and Hell gold drop differences are really small

Yeah just to give it context I have a ww Barb I currently use for hell Trav runs. Does a decent job in like 4-5 player games but gets tough beyond that. I've found it to be considerably preferable to the merc build in terms of clear time. Using 2 griefs with Ali Baba's on swap

Yeah Hell is different^^

x2 Ali Babas with Lems on lvl 95 gives 625% GF
x2 CS with x6 LEMs give 900 GF

why do you use Ali Babas?
Some people prefer using it for MF it has. However, as GF barb you're running only Travincal which is lvl82 area. Not that good for MF runs in general.

ali's seems good, but dividing your dmg by 5-6 isnt worth the extra Mf/Gf on it

this is the build I've used to solo p8 travi, following chaos or baalruns with no problems :

beast/botd
Arreat 'Lem'/ Ideally, but never found it, a 2/20fc/2os with telecharges
3wc/100 gf amulet
dwarf star x2
goldwrap
chancies
30frw 80gf 25mf boots/ 08 travelers are best in slot here but hard to get
enigma

8* wc 3x gf skillers for inv

reapers/gully/forti merc, actually the freeze from reapers isnt a problem since you should finish off 95% of mobs

Also less boring to play than a pure Gf barb since you find some items in the process too

You can't always 1-hit the council members in travincal. They have auras and can hit hard.
