I play SP / Offline, I haven't found an Eth Oath Base as of yet and don't have Lo to spare for Grief, actually don't have a Lo, althought I do have two Ohm but I'm thinking I want to make Faith so I'd like to hold on to them....

So with all that said, what other options would there be for a Horker and would you recommend WW or Zerk?

Currently I have :

G'Face or Arreats
Lionheart
Angelic Amu/Ring + Dwarf
Gores
String of Ears
Laying of Hands
a bunch of damage/ar smallcharms

Just don't know what to use for weapons other than Oath/Grief

Swap is two Spirit swords for the +skills to Hork, don't really care about MF as I'm rune farming more than anything else.

I could go Kings Grace, Honor, Hustle (soon), Lawbringer, Passion, Oath (I have the runes for multuples of these in this list), for weapons I have ;

Non-Eth ;
3 & 4 OS Balrog Blade
4&5 OS Colossus Sword (Multiple)
3 OS legend Sword (Multiple)
3/4/5/6 OS Phase Blades
4 OS 15% ED Phase Blade
For Eth ;
3&5 OS Colossus Sword
3 OS Legend Sword

I also have lots of Uniques but not sure of any that would help vs something made.

getting decent melee weapons on a playthrough is a serious problem!

my usual approach is
anything to lvl ~30
honor naga to lvl ~40
butchers pupil to lvl ~50
oath, then switch to grief/botd if affordable

with your options:
main weapon oath in bb or cs (not pb!). yes you lose a lot of dmg compared to eth, but a good roll on ed still beats most common uniques. go for eth oath sword/axe as soon as you find one
vs bosses maybe frenzy with lawbringer/kingslayer on second slot?

grief should definitely be a higher priority than faith, assuming you want it for your merc?

what kind of a horker are you? zerk? ww? if you're zerk, you could do grief + ali or grief + storm. if ww, grief + oath wouldn't be bad at all
