'''Threatening Shout''' is a ~~Defensive~~ Tactics [[Barbarian skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 417, which [[debuff]]s enemies around the Barbarian, making them deal less damage for a period of time.

This is one of the Barbarian's [[shout]]s.

==Background==

The Barbarian shouts threats at his enemies, demoralizing them greatly.

==~~Skillrune~~ Skill Rune 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.

<blockquote>''Another of the “sounds cool, but no reason to use it in this easy build” low level defensive skills.</blockquote>

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.

Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Threatening Shout became a level 9 skill.

===Beta===

Threatening Shout was dropped to level 1 for the beta, but was soon moved to level 2. With the Patch 13 changes, it was classified as a Defensive skill and moved to level 4. For the [[Beta Patch 14]], it was re-classified as a Tactics skill and bumped to level 17, putting it out of reach of beta players.

===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~~ [[Diablo II]]'s {{iw|Barbarian Barbarian}} skill {{iw|Battle_Cry 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~~ [[Shout]]s in Diablo III are very similar to the warcries in Diablo II, except having smaller statistical bonuses and requiring Fury to use.
