Battle Cry Uses

Barbarian

I slept on this skill for 20 years. It seems like it has fairly amazing stats though. 25% reduced damage and -50% armor at level one.

Questions:

  1. Is this one of the many bugged spells and that is why no one uses it? I never see it but it seems like it would cure many attack rating issues.

  2. Is damage reduction only for melee attacks or if I leap into a crowd of casters and battle cry them does it cut damage to my party by 25% there too?

  3. Does war cry’s stun over right it, or curses? That might make it less useful.

  4. Before I sink points in, does the range ever go up? Seems like a one point wonder but the range is terrible so if you can increase that it seems better.

Love this for bosses. My were wolf missed Diablo 49% of the time. With inner sight and this on Diablo it seemed like I hardly ever missed.

Only problem is that you tend to get interrupted casting it a lot.

IMO it’s a 1 point wonder that is super useful. It does overwrite and get overwritten by curses, so in some parties may have less worth.

I love it. At early levels it helps out a ton when your AR is low. I use it allot on my warcry builds when I’m melee against a boss using a CB weapon and my AR sucks.

Also helps reduce pack damage when running a double swing or frenzy build.

it works with war cry just fine.

Range stays the same. extra points increase the debuff, real nice when your a low AR setup and need to hit something with your hammer. But in general it’s a 1 pt wonder.
