Depends on how/where you wanna hork.

Horking is really just using
Find Item
to dig through corpses. The only build part to that, other than maxing
Find Item
, is that you want to avoid cold damage and partnering with people who blow up corpses and that you generally want to maximize your mf/gf for the horking so far as your approach allows.

How you get to those corpses to hork however (and by extension just how much mf/gf you can get away with) depends entirely on where and how you want to hork.
Classic examples include:
- Zerker down your own kills, hork (needs some dmg gear)
- Have your merc kill trav for you (allows for maximizing mf/gf, needs a merc capable of dishing out solid dmg)
- Follow some Javazon around cows and hork her leftovers (also allows for maximizing mf/gf)

WW requires a lot of gg gear, so zerk is probably your best option.

In my opinion there are only two ways to go about this. Either make a Pitzerker and farm... The Pit or make a WW Barbarian and farm
Travincal
. A Pitzerker requires Enigma to really be efficient, whereas the WW Barbarian "only" needs 2x Grief and the rest of his gear is pretty affordable. I have both and find WW
Travincal
much more entertaining / profitable. There is a lightning Sorceress with Infinity for everything else.

Should I max
Find Item
? How many points is necessary?

The higher the %, the better. Check https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/Find_Item for the skill progression.

I made a Barbarian with full IK set to run
Travincal
... I gave him also a low barb torch , 1 Ravenfrost and a good life-leech ring... I usually use
Concentrate
(maxed) to kill the Council one by one. I have spent 1 point into
Find Item
and on the swap I have 2
Heart Carver
... so... few minutes to kill the whole group... few seconds to "hork" them... It is creepy, but fun and profitable... they drop lot of money too...

PS: my main target is to kill the Council fast so I have spent more skill points on combat abilities and not in
Find Item
itself...

Using Ravenfrost or any other source of cold damage on a horker barbarian is a bad idea as this leads to breaking the frozen bodies into pieces and not being able to use
Find Item
on them.

I know... with IK full set you already do lot of cold dmg (set bonus on the
Maul
)... but I mainly want to kill them with a cheap build (full IK set is cheap)... when they don't get shattered... they will be horked...

Yea, I'm trying to build a horker my self. Just haven't really researched the pitzerker build. I remember having a WW barb back in the days when IAS didn't affect them.
7
I think IK is great value for its cost, even if some corpses shatter.

All prices are negotiable.
All trades are Non-Ladder.

I went pure Gold Find (2250) and about 400MF and my barb can't kill a thing in Hell, so merc does all of the heavy lifting in Trav or I follow whoever kills in cow games and make sexually suggestive sounds with all of the dead cows....

This game is weird...

I've got a
Frenzy
Horker and just farm Trav primarily nowadays. Here's my setup if it helps:

Gear:

Helm
:
Immortal King's Will
socketed with 2 ptopaz

Chest:
Skullder's Ire
(cheap) OR Enigma (almost there! - just found a
Jah
, now looking for a
Ber
)

Belt
:
Goldwrap


Gloves:
Chance Guards
OR
Laying of Hands
(if you need the extra damage / fire resist to survive)

Boots
:
War Traveler


Amulet:
Highlord's Wrath


Rings: Any combo of Lifestyle / Mana steal rare rings,
Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band
or
Carrion Wind
. Could also go
Dwarf Star
if you're looking for Gold as well.

Weapons: Main hand Grief
Offhand
Blade Of Ali Baba
OR 6
Ist
Phase Blade
(more expensive, but high MF and much faster)

Weapon swap: Dual
Phase Blade
with +3 Warcry (socketed with
Ist
)
--I like to get the +6 extra Warcries to boost my
Find Item
% up to 53, instead of the higher MF from other weapons. More runes!

MERC (A2 Might):

Andariel's Visage
socketed with
Ral

Arioc's Needle

Duriel's Shell


No cold damage anywhere, and my Merc can pretty much solo them if need-be. There might be some better runewords to upgrade to, so let me know if you guys have any suggestions for this setup.

When I'm not slaying demons, I'm usually out hiking mountains.

can you share your build?

1 point to all prerequisites
20 points to
Frenzy
— main damage dealer
20 points to Weapon Mastery of Choice — Adds Damage, Attack Rating, and
Critical Strike
(Sword for me)
1 point to
Increased Speed
— Helps you move faster
1 point to
Natural Resistance
— Massive boost to resistances
1 point to
Battle Command
— Increases skills
20 points to
Shout
— Massive Defense boost. Some prefer maxing out
Battle Orders
instead for extra health, but I prefer the extra defense.
1 point to
Leap
-- Great mobility (if no Enigma)
20 Points to
Taunt
-- Useful for lowering attack damage and rating on non-boss monsters, as well as pulling monsters towards you. Also adds damage to
Frenzy

1 point
Battle Cry
- Reduces defense and damage of enemies (including bosses)
1 point
Berserk
- For physical damage resist monsters
Dump the rest of your points in
Find Item
(I've got 8 base points so far @ level 93).

You want to aim for at least 20
Find Item
(after all skill bonuses from buffs, items and charms) for 51% chance, so if needed, can put less points into
Taunt
.

Base Strength: 165
Base Dex: 140
Base Vit: 240

When I'm not slaying demons, I'm usually out hiking mountains.

So my horker got to lvl 78 and I still need to lvl up more. He dies easily and gets frozen all time. :|

Thinking of putting a
Cham
in a
Shako
. Do I need to wear a
Duriel's Shell
?

OP
I've tried different builds to trav hork and WW is the best one by far
just need some leeches
7
