The Barbarian channels his battle-fury to move faster on the battlefield.

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 duration 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?
