		+	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.

+This skill feels oddly un-barbaric at first, as it casts like a Wizard Nova attack, and is rather lacking in graphical punch. In fact, it's often hard to tell that it's been cast, with no visual component on the monsters and only a quick pillar of light from the Barbarian up to the heavens for a visual.

 While the tool tip is very vague, Overpower is a spell-like ability, not a weapon swinging melee attack. It calls down a bolt from the heavens in the base form. The area of effect is over a nearby radius, as can be seen in the video below.

-Overpower is a powerful [[area of effect]] ability that needs a moderate [[critical hit]] chance to be effective. The available rune effects make this skill very interesting. Dual-wielding two very fast weapons and having a godly amount of [[critical strike]] chance might make you unstoppable with the Revel rune effect, healing you every time Overpower is used.
