Diablo II Hints

Skills: Warcries

  • The Warcries are a collection of skills that can work with your main skills to help your planned attacks.

    Battle Command -- This skill gives you the equivalent of an instant skill shrine.  All the skills you know are boosted one level, and if you are playing with multiplayer, this applies to party members as well.

    Battlecry -- This skill reduces the toughness of your opponents.  After Battlecry, more of your hits will land, and they will do more damage.

    Battle Orders -- This skill actually hurts you when you use it.  It really works best only in multiplayer situations, so don't focus on this skill if you are playing single.

    Find Item -- This skill allows you to get a lot more items from your victims.  It doesn't bring better quality items, but just getting more items will boost your chances of finding something really good.  Extra items can be sold, and you can gamble when you get too much gold.

    Find Potion -- This skill will let you search the bodies of your victims for potions.  As a Barbarian, you may get thirsty out there fighting monsters, so this skill will pay off.  This skill is especially useful if you don't have any regeneration magic running.

    Grim Ward -- This skill makes a frightening statue out of the corpse of a fallen monster.  Other monsters will not pass until the spell dissipates.

    Howl -- This skill will make the nearby monsters run away for a little while.  This is very good if you are being mobbed.

    Shout -- This skill will dramatically increase your armor rating.  This is a very handy skill to use, even at lower levels.  Since it will last a pretty long time, you can use it before entering a big battle.

    Taunt -- This skill can be used to move enemies toward you, sort of an opposite to the Howl skill.  This can be a good tactic to use to get a few monsters at a time out of a tough room.

    Warcry -- This skill is very powerful, but it's available only when you are high-level, and it is expensive to use.  All the enemies near to you will be stunned and damaged by the use of Warcry.
