Skill Design

This skill was introduced at Blizzcon 2010. There are currently no visuals available for the skill, and no reports on it from demo players. It was revealed in the skill tree.

Skill Rank Table

Rank 1: Perform a slashing vicious blow to all enemies within X feet, dealing X% weapon damage and an additional X-X physical damage over X seconds.

Synergies

No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.

Skill Rune Effects

No rune effects for Rend are known.

Development

Rend debuted at BlizzCon 2010, but the Barbarian couldn't level up high enough to select it, so there are no gameplay reports detailing any use of this skill.
