Skill Design

Not much is known about this skill, since it was pretty high in the skill tree in the BlizzCon 2009 demo. It could be a combination of Ground Stomp and Seismic Slam, causing a huge seismic slam in all directions that either knockbacks, stuns or do both to enemies. It could very well be that this skill is still being worked on, and may be changed or removed in the future.


Synergies


Development

Earthquake was introduced at BlizzCon 2009 in the Juggernaut Skill Tree at Tier VI.

Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Earthquake became a level 24 skill.
