Skill Design

Ground Stomp is a useful skill, it will buy the Barbarian precious time should the need arise. However, it is unknown if it will work on bosses.

The skill has unique properties as well, Skeletal Shieldmen for example, have a shield that blocks most if not all damage, but a well placed Ground Stomp will cause them to drop their shields, making these skeletons a very easy job.

Development

Ground Stomp was first introduced in the BlizzCon 2008 demo. The original Ground Stomp also gave enemies a slight knockback and had a much shorter cooldown.

The name and mechanic of this skill is possibly directly inspired by the Tauren Chieftain hero in WarCraft 3. The Tauren racial in World of WarCraft is also very similar.
