my normal mf or goldfind build for D2C, LOD, SC & HC has always been
max a mastery
max an attack skill
max bo
max FI skill
1-5 NR
1 command
1 taunt
1 warcry (if i want to let my merc get last kill) if not no points in that line of skills
rest will go in to zerk
mastery: most of the time i'll use a 2hd weapon. on pole barbs i'll still use ali's while my merc gets the last hit, when i get the last hit or when i use my max FI skill.
attack skill: i'll use ww most of the time but a conc/zerk build can also work well. i dont like frenzy to mf since it takes many more points then ww and you need a ton of ias for a good attack speed. when ww all your ias will be on your weapon so you are free to use more mf items.
i max FI skill on my chars to get the most out of the build. when you have a +51% chance in that skill you to so many more 2nd drops then if you only have a few points base. the FI skill is best used on champ or higher class monsters since they will drop more then 1 item. doing highcouncil runs with a FI barb is a great way to get gold and items.
get str/dex to use weapon and rest should go into vit. if you know you will have items with +stats then you can keep your base stats lower then whats req for your weapon.
use a might merc since with a full mf setup your dmg wont be as high as it could be if using a full killing setup
if you can try and find a weapon with LL and ML on it. that way you can use items with higher mf that often dont have leech on them. if you can find 3 parts of tal's set (plate or amulet, belt/hat) you can get resist all and leech along with good mf.
