Challenging Shout is a Defensive skill used by Barbarian in Diablo IV, combining the elements of Taunt, Provoke and Ignore Pain.
In-game[]
This skill does not bestow any extra Absorption on the Barbarian, but instead reduces damage taken until specified amount of Life is lost from attacks: that is, until the fortified Life is depleted (or until the timer runs out), any incoming damage will be reduced by 30%. Does not affect allies.
Extra Fury gain does not depend on the source of the attack: if any Fury is generated from taking damage, automatically adds another +5 to it.
Counts as Shout and Warlord skill.
