Overpower is a Might Barbarian skill unlocked at Level 18, which hits all enemies around the Barbarian with a powerful force.
Contents
Background
The Barbarian takes advantage of the situation, overwhelming enemies around him with a powerful strike.
Skillrune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Overpower rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
<skill class="Barbarian">Overpower</skill>
Skill Design
Overpower is a powerful area of effect ability that needs a moderate critical hit chance to be effective. The available rune effects make this skill very interesting. Dual-wielding two very fast weapons and having a godly amount of critical strike chance might make you unstoppable with the Revel rune effect, healing you every time Overpower is used.
Synergies
The following Barbarian passives provide a benefit to Overpower, runed or not:
- Bloodthirst - The Barbarian gains life based on the amount of damage he deals always.
- Ruthless - Increases critical hit chance and critical hit damage always.
- Weapons Master - Provides a damage bonus when the Barbarian is wielding a sword or dagger. Increases critical hit chance when the Barbarian is wielding a mace or axe.
- Berserker Rage - Inflicts additional damage while the Barbarian is at maximum Fury.
- Brawler - Increases the Barbarian's damage when he is swarmed.
Development
Overpower was first seen in the skill list at the July 2011 Press Event, where it was a level 19 skill (soon thereafter moved to level 18). Unfortunately, no information about the skill's function was available. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Overpower was classified as a Might skill (but stayed at level 18).
