War Cry is a Barbarian Skill in Diablo II.

Lore[]

Summoning the ancient powers known to his people, a Barbarian warrior can call on his spirit animal and lash out at his enemies with a cry that halts them in their tracks-a powerful anguish rising to burn the depths of their being. It is this skill that gives rise to the legends of Barbarians being able to sap the life from a creature with a single word.

War Cry's Stun ability makes it a useful spell to create opportunities for the user. Being an Area of Effect skill, this is especially powerful when surrounded on all sides. While War Cry deals some damage, the amount is too minor for it to be an effective killing skill past Normal mode (especially considering its rather high mana cost). War Cry is least useful when fighting bosses, who are almost always alone and are barely affected by stun.
