First seen in BlizzCon 2009 demo, this skill is quiet new. Other skills in this tree give the Barbarian movement speed, it is unknown why the development team settled on having an active skill that gives movement speed, to fasten the gameplay perhaps?

This is a universal skill, Barbarians of all types should consider this skill for various reasons, To chase down fast moving enemies, to run away if things get tough or to just move faster through all areas.

This Skill is a warcry, and a good one at that. If the Barbarian runs into enemies with really high damage, this skill is a life saver, making the fight that much easier.

Skill Design

This Skill is a warcry, and a good one at that. If the Barbarian runs into enemies with really high damage, this skill is a life saver, making the fight that much easier. It is unknown if this warcry will affect act bosses, or bosses in general, it is highly doubted, since bosses always have more WAAAAGH than you.

Development

Threatening Shout is the only Warcry in the Berserker skill tree so far, it appears to have been re-iterated multiple times since it's unveiling in WWI along with Diablo 3. At one time, this skill was called "Terrifying Shout" and gave a damage bonus to the Barbarian and presumably, party members. Later, this skill became Threatening Shout and gave the effects as seen above, only much stronger at rank one.
