The Barbarian ignores all pain caused to him, calming him down in the process.

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.

Ignore Pain was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was re-iterated, judging from the latest demo. The old Ignore Pain reduced damage taken by 70% for 10 seconds, and would not suspend fury gain at rank one.
