Demon Limb would probably be my suggestion, assuming you're going with a non-Obedience weapon

good suggestion!
yeah i do have Obedience but I want to be able to use Gull/ali baba for item warcry.
at least with Demon Limb i could dual it.

Obedience is real nice. or have something that has igonres target defense?

is that even exist outside weapons?

If you are actively using Obedience, there is no need for Demon Limb. Demon Limb would only be a suggestion if you are using a different weapon. The level 23 Enchant on Demon Limb also lasts 11 minutes, so you could easily leave it at home or in your cube and prebuff with it before heading out for a run, thus not interfering with your main and horking swaps.

As far as weapons with Ignore Target's Defense, the first thing to consider for planning your build is that Ignore Target's Defense does NOT apply when fighting Champions, Uniques, Superuniques, and Bosses. It only applies versus normal trash. Meanwhile, -Target Defense like Obedience, applies to all situations, reduced by 50% versus Superuniques and Bosses, but is full strength against Uniques and Champions. So, unless you're doing WW cows, Ignore Target's Defense is not actually doing much for you. In Trav it's completely useless. -Target's Defense is always a significant bonus to attack rating.

Weapons with Ignore Target's Defense: Destruction, Grief, Famine, Last Wish, Crescent Moon, Hand of Justice, and Venom

Weapons with -Target Defense: Grief, Obedience, Breath of the Dying, Lawbringer, Malice, Kingslayer, Fury.

Notice Grief is on both lists of course. For your purposes, its worth recognizing that Obedience is giving bonus attack rating via Enchant, -Target Defense, and +10 Dexterity. Pretty sweet! The only downside to Obedience is the Cold damage interfering with Hork.

Find an Eth Ogre Maul and use Larzuk to get 6 sockets. Breath of the Dying and Whirlwind for the win.

For sure. But my highest rune is a single Lo and a Gul.

I farmed the arcane sanc. A few times. But I think it can take years until

Also that means 112 more str. Points.

I wonder if people actually played a Maul that is not Immortal King…until finish of hell.
