Looking for help for a Barb build

I want to start a barbarian but have not played one before.
As I don't have much play time I don't expect to get much past NM, and I also get bored easily. I am loking for build that can magic find and also play untwinked, I do not worry about twinking characters but I do not have many good items.
thanks
Oscar

Concentrate, Berzerk are what you're after.
Be sure you put some in Find Item.

As for gear, try Nightmare mephisto. He can drop quite nice stuff like Shaft, Steeldriver, such.

I have a TON of Barb stuff that can help you out. Let me know what kind of weapon you want to use...I have some good + skills polearms, good helms, ammy's etc. Send me an email and I'll return a mule.

There are two main builds:

1. Concentration Barb.

Skills:

Concentration - 20
Weapon Mastery - 20
Shout - 20
Battle Orders - 20
Berzerk - 1
Plugging some in Bash for Concentration synergy
prereqs - 1

At least that was my barb

2. Whirlwind Barb

Whirlwind - 20
Weapon Mastery - 20
Battle Orders - 20
Shout - 20
Berzerk - 1-20
prereqs - 1

Again both of these are up to interpretation, but these are what I did.

Kaysaars build is fine with one exception: I maxed Beserk instead of Shout.

I played the following Concentration Barb.

Skills:

Concentration - 20
Weapon Mastery - 20 (maces generally give the best damage in the game) Max this over your first 30 levels so you don't have to worry about it later. Then max conc. You'll find that you'll breeze thru normal on "players 8".
Shout - 5
Battle Orders - 20
Berzerk - 20
Maxing Beserk for Concentration synergy will get you more damage than Bash synergy. You will use Beserk more than bash, due to the elemental damage for PI's.
prereqs - 1

Try to find some + battle cry daggers to use on your weapon switch when using them. You can get +5 0r +6 with them. You'll end up with 25 BO or so. Try to find some +defense charms or gear instead of maxing shout.

That was my barb who I just "patted" a few weeks ago.
