I thought it would be fun to brainstorm and share ideas of rune effects for various skills. I will start the //diablowiki.com/Barbarian">Barbarian" class="wiki-link">//diablowiki.com/Barbarian">Barbarian"/> Barbarian off with Ancient Spear:
Throws a spear with a maximum range of X feet, pulling each target back to the Barbarian, inflicting damage, and slowing movement speed.

Instead of using the spear to pull people towards him, the Barbarian uses it like a whip that he slams to the ground, stunning anyone caught in the line.
Kinda hard to describe but I think that got it across...
Lasoo - The barbarian throws an arcane lasoo around 2 enemies. The 2 enemies will be pulled into each other and bounded for X amount of secs. Amount of enemies being lasooed at a time depends on rune rank.
Meet my Wife/Husband? - The barbarian throws a female or male (depending on gender) barbarian at the enemy. The barbarian will grasp on screaming and biting. lol
The spear could chain to several targets, similar to how chain lightning works. When the barbarian pulls back the spear they could all be pulled into in a straight line in front of the Barbarian
Another rune could allow the ancient spear to simply be used as a ranged attack and to not pull enemies towards the Barbarian at all
There absolutely must be a short root effect modifier to one of them (Alabaster is my favorite :P). Setting up a wizard that just blew her teleport at a bad time, or peeling a Demon Hunter behind a pillar for a teammate to stop her burst can and will be game changing and something other teams must be prepared for when fighting a skilled Barb. Give it a longer cooldown, I don't care, as long as it's there. I will be sorely disappointed if it isn't.

this doesn't really have much to do with rune effects but i wonder how ancient spear will work on huge enemies like the siegebreaker assault beast. It would look kinda honky for a lil barb to real in this ginormous enemy.

@Upgradez I could've faceplanted on the keyboard and still killed everything in act 1.
Hey i had a quick read not sure if i missed it but im suprised no one said "explodes on impact" damage based on str. even a burning effect...that conflags the target kind of like a stun but doing dmg at the same time
just a thought..
Off Topic.
has there been any comfirmation on barbs in d3 still being able to hold 2x2handers? i know they said 2h+shield but i havnt heard anything about this..
Cheers.

spear breaks off dealing damage over time and reducing speed. Basically trading the drag towards you for a long damage over time and longer and harder slow.
-The target hit by -The barbarian throws a ancient hook on the ground that last 15 second, any target touch or moves over hook will take damage, reduce movement speed by X%, and is pulled in by the barbarian.
-Throws a spear packed explosives that explodes on impact or explodes few seconds later?
I think it would be cool if one rune effect would be instead of throwing the spear the Barbarian thrusts the spear into the earth and than coming up spearing nearby enemies pulling them back to the firey depths of hell they came from.

* Forked Spear to hit and pull multiple targets.
* Cause damage over time while the target is being pulled. So the more far away the target is, greater the damage.
