Its called Ancient Spear .. it's a ranged spear skill for the Barb .. it is kinda similar to the Ancients Hammer but ranged instead of melee.|||Does it have any effects? Does it drag the target towards the Barb?|||Quote:

So far they only showed the un-runed version .. it only does ranged damage (probably calculated based on weapon damage or something) .. but with runes it might do a lot of other different stuff ... allowing you to pull an enemy from afar for some up close and personal melee clobbering isn't a so far fetched rune effect (and a nifty MK Scorpion homage .. "Get Over Here!" anyone) .. in fact i'd like to see that one happen XD|||They gave a few examples for skillrune morphs.

1. Turn it into a projectile that bounces between enemies. Ever saw Xena: Warrior Princess?

2. Turn it into a projectile that stuns enemies.

3. Chuck enemy corpses at enemy about-to-become-corpses.|||Quote:

Are you sure that's the same skill .. i was given the impression that the "Throw Weapon" skill shown in the runes part is different from the "Ancient Spear" skill shown a few minutes before it (right along with Meteor being shown) .. i had the impression they are two different skills .. maybe i'm wrong .. cna someone confirm this XD|||Oh really? Peculiar. So you can build a ranged barbarian! Shockwave, Ancient Spear, Throw Weapon?|||I'm almost completely sure that ancient spear skill and throw weapon infact are two different skills, and yes we do need a "get over here!" rune effect on ancient spear! |||http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Z7mTfLV5g

At about 25sec in you see the barb using ancient spear (unruned I suspect), and it drags the demon to him already. |||i thought it dragged mobs, maybe it wont drag players in pvp?
