The Barbarian makes can now use it even while immobilized by [[CC]] effects.  v1.0.4 changes: * Leap** Can now be used while immobilized by crowd control effects (such as [[Jailer]])*** Note: Leap will not break CC effects, but that it can still be used while under the effect This means that a gigantic leap to enemies Barbarian who think they are safe behind is jailed or otherwise stuck can use Leap while in that state. Leap will not dispel the effect (the way [[Furious Charge]] or [[Wrath of the front linesBerserker]] do), crushing anyone caught in but a Barbarian who is jailed can at least move (taking the jail cell with him) out of the area way of his landing[[AoE]] dangers such as [[Plagued]], [[Desecrator]], [[Arcane Enchanted]], etc.
