Mega Budget Horker Build ?

Hi Everyone,

i want to test out a "as low gear as possible" Travi Barb.

Anyone have a Guide for that ?
In the Web you only Find those "budget" setups with Enigma or kinda stuff with High runes.

I want to simulate a Season Start and what it feels like to farm

Travincal with lowest Gear Possible.
So i talk about nigthmare Countess Runes and Vendor gear at max.

Try https://d2.maxroll.gg/guides/gold-find-barbarian. Check Build Variant --> Starter or Gear Options for cheap stuff.

You can run Trav with super budget gear, with the hardest to find stuff being the weapon.

Helm: Arreats or or whatever you find that bumps barb stuff

Gloves: LoH

Boots: Gores

Amulet: Highlord or whatever you find that helps your barb

Rings: leech rings, one mana and one life.

Belt: gold wrap, trangs girth,whatever you want

Armour: Skullders or anything with mf, helps barb, or whatever you fancy

Weapon: this is the only one where the most budget thing is probably a lightsaber,

Azurewrath, Preferably an Oath.

Thanks alot. The starter version is what im looking for. Ali Babas is too much i guess.
Thinking of Rhyme shield + Whatever MH i can find/build.

Thumbs UP !

That Setup is more Budget Oriented but stuff like the mentioned weapons and gores etc is still too "expensive" for a ladder starter ^^

You’re gonna need to do 5min Trav runs then lol and if it takes that long to do Trav, then it ain’t worth it.

cheap

Helm: gface, cheaper: barb

Helm with +skills and 3os with midgrade enhanced damage jewels (maybe 25-30% ea)
gloves:

Blood Gloves with str/life/resistances and 10% CB or LoH
Chest: Smoke

Belt: crafted

Blood Belt with 10% open wounds/

Credendum/mavina

Belt
rings: life/mana leech, attack rating, resistances

Boots:

Goblin Toe, craft or gamble something with FRW/FHR resistances maybe main stat/life
weapon: Obedience or some other cheap legendary 2hander with big damage (need to be at least fast or very fast attack speed) or Unbending Will (

Fal is highest rune but needs 6os [maybe phase blade from larzuk]) with complimentary offhand like Lawbringer or some cheap legendary with crit/CB or OW. Double Unbending Will might be fine too. Ammy:

Blood Amulet or something with with stats/resistances.
TLDR: don't overlook crafting in late NM or early Hell on anything except ammys as they can get a lot of the good affixes at levels 50/60/70

this is my current

Travincal WW setup https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/v9010660 (obviously not 100% perfect rolls, I just didn't bothered to tune the values)

there is a torch in there but it's off-class and used just for that +20 res, you can swap it out for random fire and lightning resistance charms

I like

Infernostride in the

Boots slot for that extra 10% fire res and Myth is the MVP with that +2 Baba skills (lol)

Oath can be assembled from Hell Countess but the base is a pain to get (unless, you know, trade on diablo2.io - it's a very cool website)

I have 0% MF as I am only interested in runes at this point, if you want to simulate start of ladder throw in

Skullder's Ire and a combination of

Heart Carver and/or

Blade Of Ali Baba in the offhand

EDIT: ignore Grief, I crafted it a few hours after this post. Before that I was running dual Ethereal

Balrog Blade Oath. Also ignore the mercenary as poor Emilio does not survive any runs

Ja well, isnt Unbending Will coming after 2.4 ladder? I was playing my WWBaba and stumbled upon this runeword. So i crafted it into 6os PB but right now all you get is a gemmed sword. I wonder if it will turn into a RW after the patch.

Other question: Would Fortitude be a good armor for WW or would you recommend a second Grief PB? Right now my weapons are Oath

Balrog Blade (non-

Eth) and a Grief

Phase Blade.

My armor atm is Duriels, for the CBF

If you don't mind having cold damage, full IK is working quite well and pretty cheap.

Otherwise, it becomes pretty hard. Maybe Oath, but I haven't tried that personally.

For a horker you generally want to avoid frost damage, and Fortitude gives you

Chilling Armor.

oh didnt see that. Problem solved thanks!

If you already have Grief you're past the point of calling it a budget build. And yes, Fortitude is great with the build. Now just farm and farm until you can fill everything with best-in-slot because you're already there with the Grief and fort. (Enigma is kind of a waste if you are farming trav because you're only running a couple blocks at a time and the increased damage from fort more than makes up for having to run instead of

Teleport.

As i mentioned before. I look for a Ladder starter. Even sorc farming Meph takes waaay longer than with good gear.

So i dont look for max efficiency anyways. Horker will Grow Up faster and become faster too.
