This notorious Combat skill makes a return in Diablo 3, having the same basic functions as it did in Diablo 2. However, basic functions doesn't mean identical, since this weapon does 200% weapon damage at rank 1, making at least one point into this skill worth it. It seems to retain its usefulness into the late game, since 200% weapon damage at a 400 damage weapon will end up doing 800 damage (assumed).



==Skill Design==
Bash is a wonderful skill all in all, having it early on will help the player lots, and having it during the later stages will also help. Spamming bash has become difficult, due to the Fury cost and cooldown (if there is one). Since spamming bash has become hindersome, it can be safely assumed that this skill will no longer cause "Bash-locks", where a player repeatedly spams Bash, causing the enemy to be unable to retaliate. However, the knockback effect of this skill might help you in other ways, for example, to stop the [[Cultist]] from becoming a demon, forcing him to restart the ritual/incantation (assumed).

==Development==
''Bash'' was seen in every Diablo 3 game demo to date, and was balanced, judging from the latest demo. The old Cleave would hit for 130% weapon damage on 2 enemies at rank 1, with weapon damage and maximum number of targets scaling per rank.
