Earthquake is a Situational Barbarian skill unlocked at Level 21, which causes a huge wave of damage in all directions.
Background
The Barbarian's ancestors aid him by splitting the earth asunder around him, wreaking havoc upon any enemies caught in it.
Skill Effects
The following is a very quick list. See the Earthquake rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
| Icon | Skill | Description |
|---|
| {{{icon}}} | [[{{{name}}}]] Rage |
19 | {{{desc}}} |
 |
Flying Boulder |
[e] Project secondary tremors up to 12 yards ahead of you that inflict 65% weapon damage. |
 |
Aftershocks |
[e] Secondary tremors knock enemies back and inflict 65% weapon damage. |
 |
The Mountain's Call |
[e] Reduce Fury cost to 30 Fury and the cooldown to 85 seconds. |
 |
Giant's Stride |
[e] Secondary tremors follow your movement and inflict 65% weapon damage. |
 |
Chilling Earth |
[e] Creates an icy patch causing Earthquake's damage to turn cold and slow the movement of enemies by 56%. |
Note: Information is based on a level 60 character and rank 7 runestones.
Skill Design
Not much is known about this skill, since it was pretty high in the skill tree in the BlizzCon 2009 demo. It could be a combination of Ground Stomp and Seismic Slam, causing a huge seismic slam in all directions that either knockbacks, stuns or do both to enemies. It could very well be that this skill is still being worked on, and may be changed or removed in the future.
Synergies
The following Barbarian passives provide a benefit to Earthquake, runed or not:
- Bloodthirst - The Barbarian gains life based on the amount of damage he deals always.
- Weapons Master - Provides a damage bonus when the Barbarian is wielding a sword or dagger.
- Berserker Rage - Inflicts additional damage while the Barbarian is at maximum Fury.
- Brawler - Increases the Barbarian's damage when he is swarmed.
- Boon of Bul-Kathos - Reduces the skill's cooldown always.
Development
Earthquake was introduced at BlizzCon 2009 in the Juggernaut Skill Tree at Tier VI. For the BlizzCon 2010 demo, after skill trees were removed, Earthquake was a Tier 7 skill. At both events, it was too high a level to try out, so there are no gameplay reports describing it.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Earthquake became a level 24 skill.
Media
Earthquake can be seen in action on video here:
