The Barbarian starts to sprint, catching fleeing enemies before they can escape.

Skill Design

This is a universal skill, Barbarians of all types should consider this skill for various reasons, To chase down fast moving enemies, to run away if things get tough or to just move faster through all areas. Although it does cost fury, and using this skill is limited to the end of the battle and some time after it.

First seen in BlizzCon 2009 demo, this skill is quite new. Other skills in this tree also give the Barbarian movement speed. It is unknown why the development team settled on having an active skill that gives movement speed, to fasten the gameplay perhaps?

Development

Sprint first appeared at BlizzCon 2009 in the Barbarian's Berserker Skill Tree at Tier II. After skill trees were eliminated, Sprint reappeared at BlizzCon 2010 as a Tier 4 skill. Although it was one of Barbarian's skills in the PvP demo, there are no gameplay reports detailing the usage of this skill.

Sprint in Other Games

Sprint is very similar to Diablo II's Increased Speed. That skill, however, was a passive that boosted a Barbarian's speed all the time.
