First time trying a Horker barb, was not disappointed

Yesterday I decided to start a barb to try travs and/or hork heralds for additional chances for sunders. I started the character kinda on a whim so he really budget gear and was only level 75. I haven't even finished all of my quests yet and I managed to get some amazing drops including a Jah rune after only a couple of runs. Needless to say, I found that it was well worth it to start the character right now. Additionally, because of the new hork exploit, I'm sure more and more people will create a barb to try that out.

Because of the drops I got, I was able to upgrade nearly every piece of gear on my barb so he's not even a "budget" anymore. If anyone is interested, I'm selling the complete gearset that I was using to tackle trav runs here: trade/complete-budget-horker-barb-gearset-t1765606.html

I'm happy to share my stats and skills etc. I created it on D2 Planner, but I can't figure out how to share it.

Anyway, good luck horking out there!

Welcome to the hork family!

That's thankfully been hotfixed.

Please do! I've been planning to try a horker, but spent too much time on my paladin (92), amazon (92) and warlock (91). Also an Enchant sorceress who hasn't finished hell yet. But the new chronicle system makes me want to farm more, so it'd be amazing. However, I'm afraid the build is too expensive. Is there a HUMBLE HORKER build around?

I'm selling all of the gear for the "humble horker" There is a link in the post.

Are you on Ladder?

Here is an image from the Planner with the gear that I was using and am selling above. I included the stat and skill distribution as well
