New Barbarian skill animations

[:1]|||Best guesses at the skills shown here.

Barbarian skills and runestone effects shown in this movie:
  • 0:01 - 0:05 -- Hammer of the Ancients. Might be a runestone, or maybe just a redesigned graphic for the skill.

  • 0:06 - 0:10 -- Ancient Harpoon, with a skill rune granting double shot to it.

  • 0:12 - 0:24 -- Massively powerful ground stomp creates a large round field of flames, as well as granting some sort of fire demon appearance to the Barbarian (Likely this is Wrath of the Berserker, and it'll be interesting to see how it makes the female Barb look.) The fire field may come from another skill, such as a runestone effect in Earthquake?

  • 0:18 - 0:20 -- Some Cleaves used while the flames continue to burn.

  • 0:33 -- Unknown aqua-colored nova effect. Likely one of the Shouts with a runestone effect.

  • 0:34 - 0:37 -- Weapon Throw.

  • 0:38 - 0:43 -- Seismic Slam.

  • 0:44 -- Unknown purple dual wield knee slash. Perhaps a runestone effect in Bash or Cleave?

  • 0:47 - 0:50 -- Whirlwind with the mini-twister Indigo runestone effect.

It's definitely WotB (perfect fit for how it should transform the barb into a Super Saiyan, which is how it was described in one of the many hands-on beta previews) and it's most likely followed by Earthquake as you've said.

Going by the animation and the small cracks in the ground I would say it's a runed version of Ground Stomp.|||Yeah, it's def ground stomp. The animation actually suggests that it pulls enemies into the Barbarian.

I am also 90% certain that the skill at 44 is Rend, it fits the description.|||Our barbarian would be most feared when under the effect of the WotB. Imagine you just used wotb and hammer of the ancient skill gets a bigger hammer animation then you smash that skinny witch doctor dude to the ground
