What is the best gear setup for Trav horker? I have no enigma yet and only have 1 grief.
My goals: only care about kill speed and runes. Don’t care about gold or items.
Hey there, I’ll give you the build I used when starting out my Horker. I may be forgetting some things so don’t be shy about asking 
I went with a WW build:
Maxed Skills: WW, Sword Mastery, Find Item, BO.
One Point Skills: Increased Speed, Natural Resistance, Battle Command. You can put a point into Double Swing (use this if you get mana burned).
Rest of the points went into Shout.
Helm: Arreats Face
Amulet: Highlords Wrath
Mainhand: Grief PB
Offhand: Broken ethereal Dimensional Blade (more on this later)
Chest: I used Skullder’s Ire but feel free to change this to something else if you’d like
Gloves: Laying of Hands (incredible damage to demons)
Rings: Dual Leech and a Dwarf Star
Belt: String of Ears
Boots: Goreriders
Weapon Swap: Two +3 Warcry sticks since you probably want more drops (Can use Two Ali Baba’s (Ist’d or Lem’d) as an alternative).
Inventory: Barb Torch, Warcry GC’s, random SC’s (lightning / fire resist is good if you’re lacking. Damage SC’s would be good in your case due to wanting faster kill speed).
Port to Travincal and buff, Leap over the walls (saves a little time), try to keep your WW’s short, Hork, then New Game. Try to minimize your time in town.
Now, about the Broken Offhand Weapon. Using a broken weapon forces WW to use your Mainhand Weapon Damage in place of your Offhand Weapon Damage (essentially giving you the damage bonus of a second Grief). Any broken weapon will work, ethereal is nice since you cannot accidentally repair it. I also heard magic or rare throwing weapons that are out of ammo also work.
A couple of after thoughts: You don’t want cold damage on your gear or Merc. Shattering bodies means no Horking. Also, you being slowed by cold actually helps your WW (I think) - you move slower so more WW attacks hit.
