This spell hasn't been changed much since its unveilingAt [[BlizzCon 2010]], with just one point in it the Barbarian could leap all the way to the visible edge of the screen, over any number of enemies, and at a very high speed. At this point, it seems like a one point wonder, which is something the developers have said they do not want.

'''Leap Attack''' is a [[Barbarian]] Tier 4 [[Barbarian_skill|skill]] unlocked for the [[Barbarian]] at [[Clvl|character level]] 10, making the Barbarian leap, causing damage and [[knockback]] upon landing. This is also the Barbarian's [[movement ability]].
}}
The Barbarian makes a gigantic leap to enemies who think they are safe behind the front lines, crushing anyone caught in the area of his landing.

Once the player activates the [[skill]], the Barbarian will leap from his current location, to the location of the mouse cursor, damaging and knocking enemies back upon landing. This skill is best used to reach [[ranged]] monsters, who are behind enemy lines and to escape tight situations, if such occur.
Leap Attack has not changed much from D2, and has been demonstrated repeatedly in the gameplay movies. The main difference with the D3 version of this skill is that minor damage is dealt to everything nearby when the Barbarian lands, rather than major damage to one particular monster.

''Leap Attack'' was revealed in Blizzard's [[WWI 2008| World Wide Invitational]] in Paris, along with the announcement of [[Diablo 3III]]. It seems to combine {{iw|Leap Leap}} and {{iw|Leap_Attack Leap Attack}} from [[Diablo 2II]], whilst requiring [[Fury]] to use. The main difference with the D3 version of this skill is that minor damage is dealt to everything nearby when the Barbarian lands, rather than major damage to one particular monster.
