In My opinion WW is the best build for Hork Trav. This is the build I use Currently.

Skills:
1 point all ww prereq.
20 ww
1 beserk
20 sword mast
1 increase stam
1 increase speed
1 iron skin
1 natural resist
1 howl
1 shout
20 battle order
1 battle command
20 find potion
Find Item rest of your points go here

Gear:
I have underlined the key items I think are mandatory for this build and put in () budget options for the rest so you can build up to the top teir gear.
Arreats (chammed) (Gface)
Greif pb x2 (unbending will for offhand) (Oath in a eth sword)
highlords
LOH glove
string of ears (goldwrap) (mav belt if need mana leach) (trangs or death sash if cbf is needed)
Gores (war travs) (infernostrides) (aldur boots)
ml ringwith at least 6mana leach (dual leach here with ar is best but manald will work to start)
bk ring (any life leach ring) (nagel)
Enigma (smoke) (lionheart)
2x ali baba on switch (double ists)

I have about 70% find item chance and basically 1 hit on players 1, I dont like to go above players 5 games because there is so much loot it takes to long to sift through.
If you are rune farming you dont need any Mf but I think most effective build is to get about 250 on grief wield and then 500 on switch hork.
This will net you a lot of unique rings, amulets, jewels which can be very valuable.
One way of hitting these it to Use a 6os phase blade with shael rune and 5 ist for 150mf and still hitting the 4frame attack speed with grief. With enigma this will get you around 250.
You can also switch out gores for war travs, string for goldwrap.
I also run with only Torch and Anni in inventory because I pick up so many magic items and id at cain on the way by. (Found many lld items and 5bo helms 5nado pelts this way)
So you have a ton of Charm options to put more damage mf or gf in your charms.

I would still give a mention to 'Oath' runeword for people on a budget along 'unbending will' as a option for ethereal base for that damage.
Also swapping out cham from the arreats for another selection and having raven frost there.

Still good overall selections.

Oath is a good option ill put that in. I don't like raven for cbf though because you crit so much it explodes the corpses. Id use Trang belt or upped deaths sash if I couldn't get the cham.

i don't like the idea of using a 5ist 1shael pb or making it. everything else seems good.

I agree, I wouldn't make one either but some people like to max out their mf so I mentioned it.

I believe he does not intend to go for just for goldfind but overall speed with magicfind.
While I do agree this area is better for goldfind, there is nothing wrong with speed and drops from the council members.

That's correct this isn't a goldfind barb, although he gets about 200k per 30sec run. The value you'll get out of going for speed over goldfind is huge imo. I don't think you make nearly the currency focusing on Goldfind over mf and killspeed. Runs should be about 30 seconds max.
