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.


This is a solid post.

Also, I've never made a Druid. Is there a decent mf ele build?

Apart from the standard tornado build, I'm going to try and build a hurricane based one next ladder:

3ele/3hurricane (2x 5/-5cold facets)
Mara's
+30/-30 Cold Facet Crystal Sword
Enigma
Spirit
Magefists
2x Soj
Spider
Wartravs

Killspeed is faster than a regular wind druid, less of a tank, but still very durable. You could always just go with a regular one though to test out playing style, see how you like it. (5Nadoantlers/maras/spirit/hoto/enigma/trangs/travs/spider/soj/10fcr ring

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?


1. Light sorc or blizz sorc
2. Hammerdin
3. Frenzy or WC barb

Sorc does mausoleum, ancient tunnels, lk, act bosses
Hammerdin does chaos, nilathak, eld, shenk
Barb does travincal and pits

Then everyone meets up for baal.

The problem with horking is that many builds destroy corpses in some way.

Hammerdin - destroys corpses with redemption aura, used for healing
Cold Sorc - Destroy corpses with cold damage
Summoner Nec - Destroy corpses with summon or corpse explosion
Trapsin - Destroys corpses with death sentry
Windy Druid - Destroys corpses with hurricane, it's cold damage, or with carrion vine or dire wolf
Javazon - Commonly wears phoenix shield, which has redemption aura and destroys corpses
A2 Holy freeze merc - destroys corpses with holy freeze.
Anything that deals any cold damage has a chance to destroy the corpse. Pretty much every melee/range weapon build wears a raven frost, which adds cold damage and can destroy corpses. Fortitude procs chilling armor which can destroy corpses.
