What's the name of that skill where the Barb releases a chain with a spearhead? What does it do?
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.Originally Posted by flabortast
Does it have any effects? Does it drag the target towards the Barb?
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.
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!

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?
