Overpower is a Situational Barbarian skill unlocked at Level 18, which hits all enemies around the Barbarian with a powerful force. Only usable if Barbarian has critically hit an enemy.
Background
The Barbarian takes advantage of the situation, overwhelming enemies around him with a powerful strike.
Skill Effects
The following is a very quick list. See the Overpower rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
| Icon | Skill | Description |
|---|
| {{{icon}}} | [[{{{name}}}]] Might |
26 | {{{desc}}} |
 |
Crushing Advance |
[e] Reflect 45% of incoming melee damage for 17 seconds after Overpower is activated. |
 |
Killing Spree |
[e] Whenever used, your chance to critical hit is increased by 22% for 6.0 seconds. |
 |
Momentum |
[e] Overpower generates 7 Fury for every enemy hit. |
 |
Storm of Steel |
[e] Throw up to 9 axes at nearby enemies which inflict 240% weapon damage each. |
 |
Revel |
[e] Heal 18% of your maximum Life whenever Overpower is used. |
Note: Information is based on a level 60 character and rank 7 runestones.
Skill Design
Overpower is a powerful area of effect ability that needs a moderate critical hit chance to be effective. The available rune effects make this skill very interesting. Dual-wielding two very fast weapons and having a godly amount of critical strike chance might make you unstoppable with the Revel rune effect, healing you every time Overpower is used.
Synergies
The following Barbarian passives provide a benefit to Overpower, runed or not:
- Bloodthirst - The Barbarian gains life based on the amount of damage he deals always.
- Ruthless - Increases critical hit chance and critical hit damage always.
- Weapons Master - Provides a damage bonus when the Barbarian is wielding a sword or dagger. Increases critical hit chance when the Barbarian is wielding a mace or axe.
- Berserker Rage - Inflicts additional damage while the Barbarian is at maximum Fury.
- Brawler - Increases the Barbarian's damage when he is swarmed.
Development
Overpower was first seen in the skill list at the July 2011 Press Event, where it was a level 19 skill. Unfortunately, no information about the skill's function was available.
