Barb has hork. Sorc doesnt. Game is 20+ yeqrs old. You are not the first to try to out gf a barb. Also if u wanna Gold u can just buy resell items in legacy grafics
Can def resell "grinding" and other scaling weps for gold from vendor but my god how boring

Barb has hork, sork has inbuilt teleport/telekenesis and faster kill times.
And since u no longer have to stay within 20 games per hour, the "20 year old meta" is a bit changed imo.
The only comparison ive seen, is a guy doing 30 minutes with 2400 goldfind barb VS 500 (??) goldfind sorc.
