mf barb build

[Senno]

i saw this build on gamefaqs
http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/diablo_ii_lod_magic_find.txt
and for the suggested barb build, he has beserk at max and whirlwind at 12-13. Why would he choose beserk over concentrate? since he is using battle orders as well, and would get the bonus damage off that?
Is it because beserk is magic damage?

Your link is broken.

Regardless, I wouldn't look to GameFAQs for information regarding an online game, since they have constantly shifting rules. I would assume that guide is for an older version of the game; berserk was very popular in elder days, since it does a ton of damage and didn't have the 50% physical damage penalty that we had in 1.09, it was used in combination with things like Laying of Hands for boss runs.

DOesn't still have alot of dmg at 1 skill point?

[Senno]

well essentially,
Warcries:
Battle Orders: 10-20
(1 to all the pre-req's)

Combat Masteries:
Sword Mastery: Either 12 or 20
Iron Skin: at Least 11
Natural Resist: at least 11

Combat Skills:
Whirlwind: 12-13
Beserk: Max(20)

http://db.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/diablo_ii_lod_magic_find.txt - that should work

Is it feasable? becasue i already started before i thought about conc.

you could probably bumble your way through a decent amount of the game, since barbs are so flexible.

Problems:
1) putting more than 1 point in 2 attack skills is just pointless, since you'll find yourself using 1 mainly and your two major backup attacks (conc/berserk) have great dmg synergies in bo and shout. Max one skill and put the rest of the points in shout.

2) the points put in natural resist after 5 are completely wasted as you can get more resists from charms.

I agree with Gooey. I'd just use the normal whirl build for general mfing, as the synergies have made it very powerful. Based on your statement (the link still isn't working; your cut/paste is truncating it), that guide definately looks to be outdated.
