Preferred offhand sword for WW Barb (Trav horker exclusive)

Ok so I'm almost done building my Trav horker for single player. Grief main hand. I will NOT be making Breath of the Dying (which is my offhand for online barb) since I'd rather use my

Zod elsewhere.

There seems to be a plethora of options, but I want to see what y'all use. The caveat is I don't want any cold damage on the weapon (shattered corpses bad). My merc will be using

The Reaper's Toll (cold damage, I know, but this is a minimal issue),

Kira's Guardian, and

Guardian Angel.

I pondered

Dreadfang, but the

Amplify Damage proc is useless if merc is using

Decrepify. Mana leech is somewhat a concern, but not necessarily needed, as I will likely use a dual leech ring.

Oath, Unbending Will, or an upped

Headstriker are what I am seeing as decent options. Anyone have any other ideas that I might like better? Note that high rune access is slim right now, but I can always hold off to find more.

The rest of my gear is pretty standard. Grief,

Arreat's Face (or

Guillaume's Face),

Highlord's Wrath,

Verdungo's Hearty Cord,

Gore Rider,

Laying of Hands, Enigma (or Duress, Treachery, Hustle), Dual Leech ring, SoJ (or something else not yet decided). No

Raven Frost (might

Cham the helmet or get CBF elsewhere if I want it).

Again, this barb will be used for horking

Travincal about 99% of the time. Also, I'd prefer not using dual Grief, as I'd like to use my next

Lo elsewhere. Thanks!

Death in an ethereal

Colossus Sword ?
Will grant you mana leech.

Offline I'd probably go with Unbending Will, for the simple reason that it's so cheap.

Would you go for an ethereal base for Oath or do you want to use those charges?

Are you using any guide? I wanted to build a horker, but found the builds a bit weird. Like, there are builds for

Gold finding, horking, Trav farming, I got kinda lost (I never play with barb). Any recommendations?

Lawbringer would be an option maby, it has 7% Life leech lvl 1

Decrepify, only 3 mid tier runes.

You can make it in

Phase Blade or

Cryptic Sword

It's indecently expensive, but my WW Barb likes his Grief + Last Wish combo. LW just offers so many useful offensive and defensive stats

Not really for two reasons :
1/ There are demons so Sanctuary wont proc
2/ You don't want them to rest in Peace because you can't hork them

You know, I thought Death had cold damage on it, but it looks like it's just the

Glacial Spike proc chance, which WW won't affect, so maybe this is the way. I assume it won't proc if I smash things with

Berserk, but idk if that alternates weapons. I don't have a spare

Vex right now, however.

Don't care about the charges, not sure if I have a suitable ethereal base yet though.

I would love this, but hell will freeze over before I get all those runes on single player. 1

Jah so far!

I basically use all the gear I listed on my online horker, but eBotD for my offhand, and for swap, two double-

Ist-ed Ali-Babas for hork MF. I don't care about

Gold too much, but he gets a lot anyways. For skills, just WW, BO, BC, Sword Mastery, the 4 one point mastery wonders, max

Find Potion, and the rest in

Find Item.
