Crushing Advance is a rune effect in Overpower, a situational Barbarian skill.

This rune effect reflects back 30% of incoming melee damage for 4 seconds after using Overpower. While this sounds very unassuming, this is one of the most powerful Barbarian skills, since it pairs with Life on Hit bonuses to proc massive healing.

Every time the Barbarian takes damage while this skill is active, 33% of the LoH triggers. Since many enemy AoE effects (such as Molten, Fire Chains, or Desecrator) cause numerous proc checks per second, a Barbarian with good LoH can actually heal while absorbing virtually any amount of damage with this effect active.
