Leap

Description

Leaps away from danger or into the fray.

Leap is great for its low cost in mana.

Leap also causes Knockback on all the monsters around the area where the Barbarian lands. This is very handy for getting your body back after dying.

Leap is good for getting yourself out of danger when surrounded. It's quite possible for monsters to surround you making it impossible to get away, but

Leap can allow you to escape.

Leap can be used to jump over other party members that get in the way in tight dungeon corridors such as the Sewers, and Maggot Lair in Act II. The only similar spells are

Leap Attack (scroll down), Assassin's

Dragon Flight, and Sorceress'

Teleport, which although is somewhat superior, is much more costly in mana, and is only available at a higher level (Character Level 18).

Leap is useful for leading Monsters to obstacles then jumping over them.

Leap is great for crossing rivers without a bridge, and jumping whatever things are in the way to make your trip shorter. At only 2 Mana, it's quite a deal. You'll find it useful to place a few points into

Leap to jump further distances but there comes a point where it's a waste to put additional points into

Leap.

Hidden Knockback Radius

Leap has a hidden radius in which the knockback effect is caused. It has a base of 2.6 (actually 2.64) yards and gains 0.66 yards per level. For Example, a level 10

Leap will have a knockback radius of ( 1.98 + ( 10 * 0.66) ) = 8.5 yards. This is an approximation. As is obvious, high levels of

Leap can cause knockback to almost an entire screen of monsters, just like a

Nef would do to a single monster.

Lore

Because of his great strength, a trained barbarian warrior is able to perform great leaps.

These jumps are noteworthy, enabling the Barbarian to spring free of dangerous swarms of enemies, and landing with an impact that sends them reeling.

Can be used to make Runewords:

Particularly useful for a Barbarian without Enigma to quickly traverse the

River of Flame before entering the

Chaos Sanctuary. Also, can make getting around the early sections of Act 5 a tad less awkward.

Leap can transport the user to visible locations despite the presence of obstacles, including rivers, gaps, fences, and - most puzzlingly - grates. This can save the user a great deal of travel time in such areas as

The Arcane Sanctuary,

River of Flame, and

Flayer Dungeon Level 3.

It is important to note that the Barbarian is still vulnerable to melee attacks and radial hitboxes while Leaping. Furthermore, a Barbarian will be vulnerable to missile hitboxes that come into existence directly below the Barbarian's current location. Incoming attacks are still subject to blocking and the to-hit calculation as normal.

While Leaping, a Barbarian will be unable to utilize potions. Furthermore, Chance to Cast when Struck effects will not trigger while the Barbarian is airborne.
