A simple listing of the known Barbarian skills, as seen on Blizzard's site and in the WWI gameplay movie.
Contents
Melee Attacks
Cleave
A slashing melee strike that can hit multiple targets at once, it leaves a streak of bright red light behind. it is a fast hit but has a slight delay between uses, making it slightly slower than normal attack. It can be delivered with one hand, and seems to alternate forehand and backhand, so it can be used while dual wielding.
Ranged Attacks
Charge
Looks similar to the Paladin skill from Diablo II.
Leap
This skill enables the barbarian to leap a considerable distance, and quite quickly too. When landing the barbarian drives down her weapons from overhead, creating a shockwave that damages and knocks back any enemies within several yards. It seems to combine the powers of the d2 skills leap and leap attack, and seems to deal quite a bit of damage, as rapidly as it dispatches multiple ghouls with every Leap, in the WWI movie.
Seismic Slam
The barbarian lifts up one foot and brings it down with her weapon, slamming them into the ground and sending a wave of energy through the earth in a straight line. It deals damage to anything directly in front of the barbarian for a fair distance; nearly to the edge of the screen. Multiple monsters can be hit by each use, and the ground is torn and fractured by this skill.
Whirlwind
The spinning, multi-hitting tornado of a skill returns in D3. This one lands multiple, bonus damage hits to anything in the barbarian's path, and it can strike multiple monsters per use. It appears to be usable as long as you wish (mana permitting?) but only in a straight line. To change direction the barbarian must stop one WW, and begin another one.
Stomps
Ground Stomp
This foot stomping skill, reminiscent of war cry, stuns and renders motionless monsters in a small radius around the barbarian. while stunned stars are shown spinning around their heads, and their defense is lowered and monsters that carry shields will drop them, making them very easy prey for the barbarian's other attacks.
Warcries
Blue Warcry
No name is known for this one, but the Barbarian uses it before the battle begins at the start of the WWI movie. Presumably it's a defensive buff, but it could boost his hit points or attack powers, for all we know at this point.
Yellow Warcry
Used immediately after the blue one at the start of the WWI movie, this one seems to stun or incapacitate the first few ghouls in range.
