can some1 help with character maths

i have a pretty fun brain buster for any math people.
and i know im gonna get some trolls for this.
but help me figure out which toon is faster for my aim.

so, lately ive been enjoying mfing eldrich and shenk for their yellow rares.
they give a lot of these.
i have 2 accounts a barb horker
and a

Nova sorc.

ive only just started experimenting with the

Nova sorc, but so that u know the numbers, i will have you know that my barb was getting me a good 33* items [ this is the number i want you to use] worth keeping per hour.

my horker wears mostly faster run / walk gear, simply teleports to eldrich, howls,and lets my my high dmg merc kills eldrich and
then i hork (75 % to loot) his body and NG. that was 17 seconds a game. i prefer not to attack with my barb . im not looking for stredegy tips , just the math to see which one is getting more items faster.

now, my sorc on the other hand, Also wears faster run walk gear, but rocks an Infinity merc. she teleports to eldrich, kills, loots,
teles to shenk. loots. NG . 20 seconds. so thats a 3 second difference from my barb. slower, but thats 2 bodys at 100%
vs my barb gaining the 1 body + a 75 % chance to loot it again.

im not the best at math but from what ive attempted, the sorc is getting literally 1 item per hour less than barb. can anyone confirm this given the info i gave you?

Most likely a lot is based on your luck with drops aswell. But I would imagine sorc can kill so much faster than barbarian so it very likely could be faster overall to farm with the sorc. Though I do personally enjoy a lot the barbarians tankiness, but never had a sorc with Infinity and such fancy stuff.

This is interesting topic.

Just looking at the numbers, barb gets 1,75 bodies at 17 seconds and Sorc gets 2,00 bodies at 20 seconds. They would be on par if barb needed 1,70 seconds, so yeah, he is a bit faster. (2.94% to be precise, in accordance with you measurements)

I don't know the drop tables of Schenk and Eldritch by heart so I can't recommend in any direction.

Agreed. Sorc is getting 1 drop per 10 seconds on average, barb is getting 1 per 9.7 seconds.

However, your barb hork drop rates are p7. So if you're playing at less than p7, the drops between kill and hork are not equivalent.

Edit: To complicate matters more, you can swap weapons to MF weapons for the hork, changing the hork drops even more.
