when you use the find item skill on the council
can every unique in the game be dropped by that skill?

Find item does not affect the ilvl of items being dropped by trav council. That's a totally separate thing.

no, find item effectively says:

>% chance that you will drop the same exact pool of items that the target corpse could have dropped the first time it was killed, except it drops the maximum number of items it could drop
council members drop 0-3 items using treasure class "Council (H)"
when you use 75% find item, there's a 25% chance you get nothing, 75% chance you get 3 items from treasure class council H


Notably find item works on Herald corpses, allowing a second attempt to find a sunder charm

So every unique that could normally drop in travincal can also drop when horking travincal.

For the uniques that normally need lvl 85 area can be horked in those 85 areas but only from champions and unique monsters in that area.

For tz 87+ all uniques can be dropped and horked from any enemy aside from the ghosts and bugs that don't drop armors and weapons.

okay thanks, so when hunting for high unique its better to go MF meph/dia or CS runs as warlocK?
what is the find item barb then used for? seems quite useless tbh

or can u farm any area ( Terrorzones ) as a hork barb? but it needs different gear then?

makes him silver more like it, since the ideal TZ setup is still 1 runner, 1 hork barb and 6 afk loaders to reach P8
or 2+ runners and the hork has to bitch between them when a herald pops

There's really no barb build that can efficiently kill all P8 PvM content and heralds because they spawn with thorns aura and just have too much damage/HP even for berserk
meanwhile even 1 point bind demon on a physical immune demon lets a warlock tank them indefinitely

For us broke people whose pc can't load 8 games, and we only farm p1 or sometimes p3 with a couple friends, hork barb is miles ahead of every other class for mf, because hork produces so much more drops than kills at low player count

Your hork drop is p7 though. So you can farm p1 on barb. Initial drop is p1 but when you hork you get max p level drops. I play p1 only. No interest in the challenge of finding or coordinating p8 games. Also there are some solid strats where Barb is actually quite effective at isolating the p8 boss/unique and target kill. Trash mobs are a waste of time usually.

Hork barb isn't a character designed for p8. It's specifically designed for farming specific mobs. So trav, for instance, is one of the better spots for farm item barbs because of the Council members, and it's best done on p1. You don't do CS runs with barb unless you're in a full party and horking the bodies left behind by other people clearing the zone. Not every build is designed to tear through the game at lightning speed with a gorjillion mf. Everything has a purpose. Though, obnoxious shit like Warlock seems designed to ignore all that and be good at everything.
