While the damage isn't a big deal compare to the Barbarian's variety of attack skills, the effect is as powerful as the visuals are not though, with the rune effects generating substantial bonuses to the Barbarian's various abilities.
==Critical Hit Cooldown Reduction==
Note that a Barbarian with high [[critical hit chance]] can reliably reduce the [[cooldown]] by quite a bit. The base cooldown is 15 seconds, but when cast in large crowds of enemies, with 8 or 10 or more monsters in range, a Barbarian can reliably knock 4 or 6 seconds off of that time, enabling this skill to be cast quite often, even to the point of keeping rune effects like [[Killing Spree]] and [[Crushing Advance]] in effect almost full time, at least during big battles with lots of enemies.
