So I guess we can all agree that horkers and especially trav horkers have more than just one build to pick from. Frenzy, WW, Zerk, they all work and they all work fairly well, each with its own specific benefits and downsides.
While I've been running a trav zerker for ages now, I was debating a shift and it had me curious as to what the spread across the more common builds is. And who knows, maybe someone's running something else entirely that beats all of them? Convince me!

pm me here (d2. Io) for trade
Mine is a fairly standard WW one.
The lack of leech on the Zerker is what I didn't like about that build, so I dropped it.

Double Throw with ethereal Lacerator and ethereal upped Deathbit. Act 5 merc for the tanking.
Base 100 vitality the rest in dex so i have 15k-18k attack rating.

Grief + botd as weapons, everything else is for MF or goldfind (I have gear for both)
I have been thinking lately to swap to Berserk. But I am lazy to do it

OP
I was genuinely hoping for sunders to work for mercs, solely for that.
But since they don't, there's just no decent way to deal with a Stone skinned Ismail in that which kinda kills it. :/
Dual Grief Frenzy here with upped Skullder's Ire to avoid frost explosion, I can often run faster to council as I can kill 1 or 2 mobs on the way. 4 isted babas on switch give me a lot of MF with fast enough killing speed. Emilio is not needed here.
As a bonus, with minor stuff change I can farm ubers very efficiently.

Zerker here. Respeced to WW for an hour to test it out and didn't like it - probably due to the gear I use. I just swapped the 6ist PB for a perfect lightsaber I had. Speed was about the same for me though. Running heavy MF build so I have to do a pit run to refill juvs after about 30 Trav runs.
Grief PB, 6ist PB, Shako( Cham), MF rings, Chancies, Travs, Maras. Unfortunately running a Fortitude so I have to be careful not to kill if they get frosted which lasts about a second. Very close to that Enigma upgrade.

Made a quick vid of my WW build for anyone interested:
They were grouped up nice, so that def helps, and I think it took about 10 seconds to kill them all on P1.
Find Item on weapon swap with HotO's gets up to level 45, or 78% chance.
Merc is using Eth Ariocs Needle + Guillams (Chammed) + Chains of Honor. Will switch his Helm to Steel Shade (Chammed) if Terrorized. +11 Fire Absorb makes a huge difference when you get a strong pack of them.
UPDATE:
And here's a demonstration of same build against P3 terrorized Trav (with a nice drop):

20 in mastery, WW, BO, and Find Potion. 1 in zerk, speed/stamina/skin/res, the rest is Find Item. Not usin Battle Command even.
Grief, CoH, SS, highlord, arreat, LoHs, trang Belt, gores, bk5 + carrion. Swap is CtA + HotO - does the horkin. Sharps/ Gheed are optional.
Merc: also CoH, decent Insight, and Ral'd andy.
Mf is low, but I don't give a damn - I'm after runes. No luck yet, but keepin at it.

This is my first horker, he's spec'd Berserker. I've only had him for about 2 weeks. Gear: Grief, PTopaz Shako, Rhyme Shield, Wealth Armor, LoH Gloves, 2x's Dwarf Star, TGod's Belt, War Trav Boots. On Swap Dual Ist'd Ali Baba's. My mission for this guy was to get an Enigma for my Hammerdin. Mission accomplished today.
Durga (Act 2 Merc) sports a Perf Eth Kira's, Guardian Angel Armor, Thresher Insight (Also have a reaper's toll on hand). Just started using Durga today as he was dieing without the Kira's. Durga is not really needed.
Each run takes me about 1min 30 sec. But I'm not rushing, that usually entails ID'n items from previous runs, vendoring items, and dropping gold/flawless gems at my stash.
Dropped a Ber during a terrorized council kill. Horked a Cham from a trash mob outside the temple. Dropped/Horked a bunch of other uniques that gave me enough runes to trade for a Jah.
Also just traded for 3 Warcry+life GC's, will see how that makes a difference.
Future mods: Probably will Cham a Shako and use a Storm Shield. On swap will probably try dual HoTo's, or maybe HoTo + my Ist'd Ali Baba.
Have gambled some cool Coronet's, but no one seems to want them, did trade a few for some Ist's.
Overall he's pretty fun, he accomplished my goal, now it's time to see what else he can do.

WW Horker here. Fun and tanky.
Dual Griefs, ptopaz Eth upped skullders, ptopaz arreats, war travs, loh, Trang’s Belt, highlords, nice 8% ll ring and a dual leech ring. (312% mf)
Dual isted alibaba and hoto on switch. (460+% mf)
Tried dual alibaba’s but just didn’t like how slow he horked without any Fcr.
Act 2 might merc with Eth upped Guardian Angel, Eth Kira’s and Eth Botd Giant Thresher. Also very tanky especially with my Bo/shouts.

I have a multi-purpose horker... well not really a dedicated horker, but a pure Frenzy barb who I switch to MF gear with 1 point in Find Item. Grief + Ali + Enigma + Shako. It's not the best returns because not every corpse will spawn an item, but it still works, and have never died.
I guess I'm too lazy to have two barbs. I usually stick to only one of each class.

I play as a WW horker simply because I find this build much more versatile for different situations and tankier overall. Using two PB Grief's 40/393 and 38/391/12ed, Cham'ed Arreat's, Enigma, Highlord's, War Trav, Laying of Hands, upped Goldwrap, one Nagel and LL/ML ring with AR bonus; two HotO's on swap and some skillers to get 75% Find Item, rest is res and mf SC. If all Trav members grouped up in one place I guess it takes around 10 seconds to kill them all even without merc. And if I getting bored of horking I can easily run any terrorize zone in game, one point in Zerk deals with phys immunes.
I made a Zerker per someones suggestion and to double as a pit/zerker. Honestly haven't done much in pits and mainly run travs. Been at it for a couple weeks (as well as running some other chars) and haven't had a lot of luck until yesterday but it's been alright, 2 ists, Um, arachs and Tal Armor during Tzone and a Tal ammy, Um and Pul during normal runs. That is until today when I found my first ever Jah during normal runs, it has finally payed off haha.
I run Arreats, Grief, SS,Highlords, Gores, Trang Belt, Dwarf Star x2 LOH, Enigma with HOTO and Heart Carver on swap. When it's Tzone I put on a 28 Nagel, Baba instead of SS and Baba instead of Hoto on swap. Also running several 7 mf sc's Anni, Torch and Gheeds.
Not sure what to do with the Jah yet though. Could use and make a Faith to put on an A1 Merc for my Tesladin but I'm not so sure about that. Not sure what else would be good, maybe a Phoenix since I want to make a Java zon, or trade it down and save for an Infinity.
