Skill Design

This skill was introduced at Blizzcon 2010. There are currently no visuals available for the skill, and no reports on it from demo players. It was revealed in the skill tree.

Synergies

The following Barbarian passive provides a benefit to War Cry, runed or not:

• Inspiring Presence - Doubles the duration of the Barbarian's shouts always.

Development

War Cry was available in the Blizzcon 2010 demo, but the Barbarian had no points invested in it. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and War Cry became a level 14 skill.

In Other Games

Although War Cry shares a name with Diablo II's Barbarian skill War Cry, this version is a completely different skill. D2's War Cry works more like Ground Stomp.
