(to clvl 70)

Warcries:
Howl - 1
Find Potion - 1
Shout - 1
Find Item - 1
Battle Orders - 20

Combat Masteries
Increased Stamina - 1
Iron Skin - 1
Increased Speed - 1
Natural Resistances - 8

Combat Skills
Bash - 1
Leap - 1
Stun - 1
Leap Attack - 1
Concentrade - 1
Whirlwind - 20
Berserk - 10

STATS
Strength 150
Dexterity 90
Stamina 250ish
Energy 10 (base)

The stats are not exactly correct because I don't have accesibility to the game right now, don't remember base statistics and don't feel like looking them up. I'm new to the Barbarian class and planned on making this char for Magic Find. Basically, just looking for a critique of my intended build. Post-clvl70 I plan on putting more points in Find Item (up to 5 max probably) then more in Natural Resistances for Hell and Berserk

Plan on obtaining 2x Ali Babas, have IK helm, 2 nice MF rings, chance guards

Basically... hows this long? Any major holes I'm missing out on? Need to gather some more leech before I can start dominating so right now I'm mega gimped but I'm sure it'll work out

You're building a pretty standard WW Barb, which is a decent choice. I would leave Berserk at 1 point and drop Find Potion and Find Item. Instead, put points in a Weapon Mastery. Read one of the WW guides in this forum or the Single Player forum (http://forums.diabloii.net/showpost.php?p=1354331&postcount=25).

Well, if it's a magic find barb, then I definitely would recommend keeping the points in find potion and find item. However, I definitely agree that you don't need 10 points in berserk. Berserk has two synergies - shout and howl - both of which will increase the damage of berserk. I would recommend only a single point in berserk, and then pump shout to raise it's damage. Berserk appears to be only a backup skill (against physically immune creatures), while you'll use shout all the time.

Finally (and this is nitpicky) at clvl 70 you will have more than 70 points at your disposal. You'll get 69 points from levelling to level 70, but at that point you should be at the end of nightmare difficulty, meaning that you will have completed Akara's quest twice, Atma's quest twice, and killed Izual twice. So you'll really have 77 skill points to spend.
