Skill Design
This skill is really useful for tough situations, where no amount of skills can save you and your only chance is to survive being pounded by a mob of monsters until help can arrive or to plan your next move. This is also useful during boss fights, as 50% damage reduction coupled with Second Wind will make damage against the Barbarian almost useless. A skill that hardcore players might take a liking to, its only drawback is the suspended fury gain and it is assumed that fury will continue depleting for the duration of the spell.
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.
Development
Ignore Pain was first seen at BlizzCon 2008, where it was at Tier III on the Battlemaster Skill Tree. Then, it reduced damage taken by 70% for 10 seconds, and would not suspend fury gain at rank one.
The skill was slightly adjusted for BlizzCon 2009; damage reduction was lowered, and fury gain was suspended. Flux had this to say on the subject:[1]
This sounds like a red alert emergency skill. Stopping your Fury gain, even for 6 seconds, is a huge cost, as mandatory as it is to keep refilling Fury so you can keep using your killing skills. But 50% damage reduction could be a life saver. Would you be clever enough to spend this point, put it on your hotbar, and remember to use it quickly enough to save your bacon?
At BlizzCon 2010, Ignore Pain was available in the gameplay demo but not one of the Barbarian's starting skills, and there are no gameplay reports describing it. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Ignore Pain became a level 4 skill.
