1) play a lot, play efficiently
2) kill heralds on p8/2+, I used a 2nd account on nova to try to hork extra sunders but all of them came from the initial drop. However, among all the sunders I've seen drop including the ones I didn't loot myself I'd say 90% had 2p or more in kill area. I know p8/2 supposedly adds only 5% or whatever no drop but it feels like it matters a lot. Anecdotal i know
3) zerk generated half the sunders much faster - if you are tired of killing solo you can just switch to horking heralds. In eu pubs almost everyone is chill about it. Or do both

The whole point of playing zerk was to dodge thorns, but I was still taking some damage from it, not sure why? Just used rejuvs to outheal it

Thank you for the detailed response. Yea thorns is doing some weird shit and making you take damage with zerk. Super odd.

How did you kill t5 p8 heralds on zerk without getting 1shot?

Part of being efficient is spawning weak heralds, ideally minion types. Rakanishus, skeles, ... these you can tank easily and kill fast

Stronger t5 with bad affixes take longer, use war cry to stunlock and land hits between refresh. They will chunk you but never been close to being 1shotted, 50% pdr maxblock. The harder ones can require a full belt of rejuvs, just stock up while farming tokens. Requires more work but that's the price you pay to play shit tier pvm chars

Ok interesting. Do you use a bo barb for your barb? Lol. Also I'm guessing since you never go close that amp damage wasn't an issue for you? I'm making a fresh offline hc barb and might wanna farm heralds later. Just don't wanna get 1 tapped lol
