[[Shouts]] are [[Barbarian skills]] that can act as [[buffs]] for the Barbarian, [[debuffs]] for enemies, or direct attacks, depending on the [[skill]] and the [[runestone]] effect present. Shouts are non-targeted skills; they all emit directly from the Barbarian, and generally add a skill effect of some sort that lasts for a limited [[duration]].
The term "warcry" was generally used for this sort of skill in Diablo II, but since there is an actual skill called "[[War Cry]]" in Diablo III, using "shout" is clearer. (Confusingly, there were Warcry skills called "{{iw|Shout Shout}}" and "{{iw|War_Cry|War Cry}}" in Diablo II.)
