Thunderstrike is a rune effect in Hammer of the Ancients, a Fury-spending Barbarian skill.

This rune effect stuns every other enemy within 10 yards to be stunned when the Barbarian kills an an enemy with it. This can be quite a powerful CC skill, but must be used sparingly since it only triggers when the kill is obtained with this skill.


Post-Release Changes[edit | edit source]

Patch 1.0.4 buffed the base skill and added additional improvements to two of the rune effects. Thunderstrike was not modified, but this rune became more effective with the increase in damage of the base skill.

v1.04 changes: [1]

  • Hammer of the Ancients
    • Weapon damage increased from 200% to 325%
