Hammerdin / Horker combo group

I wonder if there are any groups out there where they clear the area like cows/CS/WSK and then leave the bodies for the Horker to come by. Or just have a 2 man team with a Horker/Hammerdin and have the Hammerdin clear the area while the Horker does his thing.

I am down to teamup. I got both builds rdy

Just a heads up if you do decide to do mf runs you should be atleast 3 if you are teaming up or the horker should join after the hammerdin is done.
This is because there is no benefit of being just two people in the game there is no increased droprate until 3 people. The only result is harder minions

Must say that I like the idea tho! I can join with my java

You still get 150% exp at p2, it's not totally pointless.

Plus any decently geared hammerdin should hardly notice a difference between P1 and P2.

That having been said, yes, I've seen a few runs where one cleared and the other horked. Though you'll obviously never know whether that was by design or if the horker just found a public game to follow. After all, if you join a pug cow run or the like, it is fairly rare to see another horker challenging you for corpses.

Side note:
I would support the 3-person team idea. Not so much to hit the drop breakpoint but actually to speed up the horking. I.e. have a 2nd horker. A solid clearer is significantly faster in killing packs than a horker is in horking them so you'll end up with your hammerdin or java or whatever just sitting around, doing nothing, while the horker is still doing his thing. Leaves some definite room for optimization.

Still working on my horker but I plan to equip 2 Rondels for +8 item find.

How would you go about splitting the loot? Or is it like the Hammerdin gets the priority drops from the run and the horker gets the drops from the hork?

I wonder if there should be a new category called Hork Runs/ 2 Hammerdins clear the area while 2-3 horkers go through. I guess ideally the Hammerdin shouldn't use Redemption and their merc can't use Reaper's toll for the bodies shattering.


/just thought if anyone had run this in a multibox setup or would it be too tedious. Have Hammerdin clear out trav and hork barb comes in horks everything; Would it be possible to hork keys ( Terror/hate/Destruction)?

Category? In what list?

Anyways:
Just throw an Insight onto the Hammer's merc and you solve both, the Reaper's and Redemption need concerns at the same time.

As for splitting loot..that's up to you/your group. If you just follow random pugs around, what you hork is yours. If you actually coordinate with friends, then you'll probably just give each drop to the one who actually needs it and/or split the rest evenly.
