===Hammer of the Ancients===
[[Image:Barb-hammer-ancients1.jpg|thumb|250px|Hammer time!]]
This massive damage attack is dealt with an overhead slam; the Barbarian brings his weapon down straight overhead, like a man driving a railroad spike with a sledgehammer. The Barbarian's weapon vanishes when he uses this skill, the graphic replaced by a giant golden mace.
 
It's a huge attack, and hits quickly, but the Barbarian takes a second to recover after the strike, leaving him vulnerable to nearby enemies. This looks like a skill that's best used against single large targets, rather than while swarmed. It's not clear if the strike will hit multiple enemies, or just the one targeted.
 
The skill's hover text was shown in the WWI game play movie, and it's reproduced in the table below.
