'''Call of the Ancients''' is a [[Barbarian]] Tier 7 [[Barbarian_skillBarbarian_skills|skill]] unlocked at [[Clvl|character level]] 26. The Barbarian summons three ancient protectors to fight for him.
==Skill Design==
This [[skill]] [[summon]]s the three ancestors that the player was charged with fighting in [[act]] five of Lord of Destruction: [[Talic]], [[Korlic]] and [[Madawc]]. They deal a percentage of the weapon damage that the Barbarian is capable of inflicting, presumably increasing with level. [[Bashiok]] had made a quick comment on the skill:
<blue>Well, he does have very few spells like this... just the one actually. :)
