As of June 2009 it was said to have no cost to Fury reserves but would be subject to a cooldown[http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/bashiok-on-the-barbarians-fury/].
At [[BlizzCon 2010]], knockback was added to Ground Stomp by an unknown rune. [[Flux]] tried it out:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/hands-on-from-blizzcon-mega-pvm-report-barbarian]
<blockquote>I can imagine high level Barbs having fun with GS and knockback. If you had gear to lengthen the duration of the stun, it might be fun to torture monsters, banging them around like shuffleboards and trying to push them in various directions. You’d need high hit point enemies though, so you didn’t prematurely kill them during the maneuvers.</blockquote>
The name and mechanic of this skill is possibly directly inspired by the Tauren Chieftain hero in WarCraft 3. The Tauren racial in World of WarCraft called "War Stomp" is also very similar.
