Skill Design
This skill summons the three ancestors that the player was charged with fighting in act five of Lord of Destruction: Talic, Korlic and Madawc. They deal a percentage of the weapon damage that the Barbarian is capable of inflicting, presumably increasing with level. Bashiok had made a quick comment on the skill:
Synergies
The following Barbarian passive provides a benefit to Call of the Ancients, runed or not:
- Boon of Bul-Kathos - Reduces the skill's cooldown always.
Development
Call of the Ancients debuted at BlizzCon 2010, although it wasn't seen in anything other than the skill pool. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Call of the Ancients became a level 27 skill.
