'''Seismic Slam''' was first introduced in the [[WWI 2008]] gameplay demomovie when [[Diablo III]] debuted, where this skill was at Tier V on the [[Juggernaut Skill Tree]]. During The development team talked at length about Seismic Slam and how it affected the Barbarian class during the [[WWI_2008:_Denizens_of_Diablo_Panel#Barbarian:_Seismic_Slam|WWI 2008 Denizens of Diablo Panel]]: <blockquote>''This skill was first skill we made for Barb, and one of the first we did in the game. Getting it right took longer than it did with most skills. We did many iterations. Animation especially. Had to make barb feel physically powerful. Traditionally we associate big bold movements with power. But if you want a game that feels fast and responsive, you want the development team talked at length about movements to be really fast. Getting balance of fast movements and powerful feel. It's a big challenge in many ways to get that animation right.</blockquote> The Seismic Slam and how it affected from [[BlizzCon 2008]] only did 100% weapon damage on rank one, but was increased to 120% in the Barbarian class[[BlizzCon 2009]] demo. In every gameplay demo so far, which can be read by following this skill has been too high level to play. ===Previous Versions===See the link above[[Barbarian skill archive]] for more details on previous versions of Seismic Slam and other Barbarian skills.
