Threatening Shout is a Defensive Barbarian skill unlocked at Level 4, which debuffs enemies around the Barbarian, making them deal less damage for a period of time.
This is one of the Barbarian's shouts.
Contents
Background
The Barbarian shouts threats at his enemies, demoralizing them greatly.
Skillrune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Threatening Shout rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<skill class="Barbarian">Threatening Shout</skill>
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 bosses (highly doubtful since bosses always have more WAAAAGH than the characters).
Synergies
The following Barbarian passive provides a benefit to Threatening Shout, runed or not:
- Inspiring Presence - Doubles the duration of the Barbarian's Shouts always.
Development
Threatening Shout was introduced in the WWI 2008 gameplay video when Diablo III debuted, as a Tier III skill in the Berserker Skill Tree. This skill was available for play in the BlizzCon 2009 demo, but as Flux said:[1]
Another of the “sounds cool, but no reason to use it in this easy build” low level defensive skills.
Threatening Shout was still around for the BlizzCon 2010 demo as a Tier 4 skill, but there are no gameplay reports detailing any use of it. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Threatening Shout became a level 9 skill, but was quickly moved to level 1, then level 2. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Threatening Shout was classified as a Defensive skill and moved to level 4.
Previous Versions
See the Barbarian skill archive for more details on previous versions of Threatening Shout and other Barbarian skills.
In Other Games
This skill is designed very much like the Battle Cry in Diablo II, except this skill only gives a reduction to damage while Battle Cry gave a reduction to enemy Defense as well. Warcries in Diablo III are very similar to the warcries in Diablo II, except having smaller statistical bonuses and requiring Fury to use.
