Planning on making a small group for mf runs. Basically knocking out large chunks of all five acts.
Thinking light Sorc, hammerdin, and .....? Barb for BO? What should the third char be to make this group of three the best it can be?

What benefit does she add to the group?

Let me rephrase all of this.
Why shouldn't my third char be a barb whose only job is to BO and hork?

Because you dont need BO and horking is plain stupid
Because java has best DPS in the game

If this is just another bot topic then get BO barb if you want as makes literally zero difference in anything

Because every character has a second slot of weapon/shield meaning BO is not needed. As for horking, while there is some value to it, you'd probably be better off using a character that could significantly speed clear time up.... (Javazon is probably the best for this).

Not a bot topic. We run nightly chill n grill games.
Also horking is the pinnacle of d2 so I'm ignoring your post.

Better bo. Time is not an issue. Games are chill n grill.

If you're concerned about a better BO I'd say look into a wind druid instead, much more sizable increase in life. I suppose if you made a support barb with close to level 50 battle orders that would have a decent find item level as well that might be an option, but still probably better off going with a third killing-based character. I find more drops from a third killing character usually outweighs the benefits of horking.
