When it comes to barb , player count is kinda important. Compared to warlock, nova sorc, java etc a barb just doesn‘t have insane damage no matter the build.
But barb has the same Tele-frames as a sorc and he has find item , giving him double loot and the strongest magic-find builds for lower player counts.
There is the good old zerker that focuses on elite sniping. He stacks big amounts of mf but only kills the elites themselves. Aoe damage is non existent
But I would realy recommend singer for lower player counts . He actualy has aoe , enough damage for p1-p3 if build correctly , Tele and hork frames of a sorc and is basicly immortal since everything is stunned around you all the time.
If you want to get your speed on the next level, you can even go 200 fcr barb
My last barb was built to reach 205 fcr. This way I had the 200 fcr breakpoint to Tele and kill on main weapons and still kept 105 fcr on switch for fast horking with double ist-swords.
Setup I used:
Armor: Enigma, of course
Helmet: Griffon with protector stone -10 res 35 mf. Looks weird but it’s the only way to get 205 fcr
Gloves: magefist
Belt: arach
Boots: war traveler
Rings : 2x 10 fcr/mf/mana / adds ring
Amu: 2/20/mf amu
Main weapons : 2x suicide branch isted
Weapon switch: 2x 6isted crystal swords
Inventory : phys sunder with - enemy res /mf , torch, ani, gheeds, some war cry skillers and 7mf/mana + 7mf/res charms .
Merc: act 2 prayer with insight . Don’t go frost or you will loose corpses
This setup gave me :
205 fcr and ~500 mf on main switch
105 fcr and ~850 mf on hork switch
So you Tele around cast warcry and kill things at THE FASTEST speed in the game at 500 mf and then hork with the second fastest frame in the game and 850 mf
Most people say 200 fcr is not worth it but I disagree. With 800+ mf you don’t realy need another 40 mf from chanceguards or 30 from a gheed belt and definitly can use fcr items there.
200 is „just“ one frame faster but this one frame comes in play for every skill you use. Your warcry is faster , your Tele is faster and your hork on switch is also faster than on a normal build. This adds up over farming sessions A LOT.
To me this is the best mf build you can make for low player counts. And unlike zerker you actualy can kill everything not just the single elites.
Tele and singing at max speed and horking at 105 with max mf feels craaaazy good.
Getting great fcr rings / 2/20 amu with good mana AND mf is hard. 7mf/mana charms etc aren’t cheap also. But if you can get it 200 fcr singer is insane for low player farming.
It is super mana hungry, so depending on your gear you might need to invest in energy a bit. But singer barbs are basicly immortal , so that’s not a big deal .
For p8 I saw a a hybrid that’s using a 105 fcr singer on main switch and goes for last wish and whirlwind on second slot to kill heralds and stuff with crushing blow. But haven’t tried myself .
Guess I would still not go barb for p8
Pure support horker is awseome of course if you play in groups. Or even when playing solo. Just run after the nova sorcs and hork what they leave on the ground
Edit: cause pm asked I‘ll list my sources that got me that much mf:Inventory: I only used 4 skillers to have 2 more Collums for mf sc‘s:
13x 7 mf small charms: 91 mf
Gheed: 40 mf
Phys sunder : 22 mf
Protector stone in griff: 35 mf
Enigma 99 mf
War traveler 50 mf
2/20 amu: 30 mf
1x fcr ring : 20 mf
1x fcr ring 25 mf
2x ist suicide branch : 60
Overall: 472 magic find on main weapons
On switch: 2x 6 isted swords —-> + 360 mf, giving me 832 magic find on hork switch with 105 fcr hork speedThis post was edited by Junglist69 on Apr 24 2026 12:12am
