The Barbarian retaliates, striking stronger to pummel the enemy to death and cannot be interrupted while doing so.
==Skill Design==
A good reason to make the Barbarian wield a shield and a 1 handed weapon, this skill defines how Battlemaster Barbarians are meant to be played, with a shield. As a contrast to other skills in this tree which mostly focus on defense, this skill adds weapon damage on a successful block, the chance of which is assumed to be 100%.
