==Skill Design==
Not much is known about this [[skill]], since it was pretty high in the skill tree in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo. It could be a combination of [[Ground Stomp]] and [[Seismic Slam]], causing a huge seismic slam in all directions that either [[knockback]]s, [[stun]]s or do both to enemies. It could very well be that this skill is still being worked on, and may be changed or removed in the future.
==Synergies==
The following [[Barbarian passives]] provide a benefit to Earthquake, runed or not:* [[Bloodthirst]] - The [[Barbarian]] gains life based on the amount of damage he deals always. * [[Weapons Master]] - Provides a damage bonus when the [[Barbarian]] is wielding a [[sword]] or [[dagger]].* [[SynergiesBerserker Rage]] with - Inflicts additional damage while the [[Barbarian]] is at maximum [[Fury]]. * [[Brawler]] - Increases the [[Barbarian]]'s damage when he is swarmed.* [[Boon of Bul-Kathos ]] passive - Reduces the skill, reducing the 's [[cooldown by {{c_lime|30}} seconds]] always.
==Development==
'''Earthquake''' was introduced at [[BlizzCon 2009]] in the [[Juggernaut Skill Tree]] at Tier VI. For the [[BlizzCon 2010]] demo, after skill trees were removed, Earthquake was a Tier 7 skill. At both events, it was too high a level to try out, so there are no gameplay reports describing it.
Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Earthquake became a level 24 skill.
===Beta===
{{Beta skill notes}}
Earthquake was dropped to level 21 for the beta. With the Patch 13 changes, it was classified as a Rage skill and moved to level 19.
