The [[Barbarian]] throws an ancient spear that sinks into his foes, and he pulls them into his blades.
==Skill Design==
Ancient Spear first appeared at [[BlizzCon 2010]].
The [[skill]], which should obviously be called "Ancient Harpoon," is a ranged attack that spears enemies and pulls them into melee range, where the Barbarian, should he react quickly enough, can chop them to bits.
This skill is highly viable in the [[Battle Arena]] where slippery ranged attacking [[Wizard]]s and [[Witch Doctor]]s are in desperate need of some "Get over here!" as far as the Barbarian is concerned.
The skill can also be used effectively in [[PvM]], ideally on back row attackers like archers or shaman, who the Barbarian wants to kill but can not reach through their defending [[meat shield]]s. Enemies all the way to the edge of the visible screen can be skewered and pulled in, when targeted accurately.

*'''Rank 1:''' Throws a spear with a maximum range of X feet, pulling each target back to the Barbarian, slowing movement speed and dealing X-X damage.
==Runestone [[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
Only one is known; the [[runestone]] socketed in the pre-made, PvP [[Battle Arena]] characters at Blizzcon 2010 allowed the spear to skewer multiple targets and pull them both into range. Unfortunately, it's not known if this was the [[Indigo rune]] effect, or if it was the [[Alabaster]] or [[Obsidian]] wildcard rune bonuses.
