Leap Attack has not changed much from D2, and has been demonstrated repeatedly in the gameplay movies. The main difference with the D3 version of this skill is that minor damage is dealt to everything nearby when the Barbarian lands, rather than major damage to one particular monster.


Skill Design

Once the player activates the skill, the Barbarian will leap from his current location, to the location of the mouse cursor, damaging and knocking enemies back upon landing. This skill is best used to reach ranged monsters, who are behind enemy lines and to escape tight situations, if such occur.

Development

Leap Attack was revealed in Blizzard's World Wide Invitational in Paris, along with the announcement of Diablo 3. It seems to combine Leap and Leap Attack from Diablo 2, whilst requiring Fury to use.

This spell hasn't been changed much since its unveiling, at least not publicly.
