[USWL] How to best build a friend's Barbarian?

[Endarire]

This friend is new to Diablo II and will mostly be playing with a FO/CL Sorceress, Skeleton/Revive Necromancer, and Conviction/Zeal Paladin, but he should be able to solo Hell.

I've read various guides on build types and I'm partial to Whirlwind and swords, but what build do you advise for a Barbarian who can easily clear rooms on Hell but is also quite able at MF as a secondary function?

WWer with a dash of berserk and warcries.

When it comes to "easily" and hell, gear is often just as important (if not more) than skills and stats.

Since a barb is lacking in the aoe department, it be hard to suggest anything other than ww. You will want at least 1 point in bezerk for the physical immunes, and warcries will boost both the player and party effectiveness.
