They should make "Devestate" for the battlemaster tree so you will run and bash enemies with your shield
Yeah, like charge up to an enemy and smack it with your shield, flinging it back. Then, while he is stunned, jump at him with your sword/axe/whatever and rip him up. Then back to shield and just back and forth while you hold it.

So, like many of you, I have been playing Torchlight to try and sate my thirst for D3 (to no avail unfortunately), and I've mainly been playing the destroyer, and I have to tell you, I really like the devastate skill. If you haven't played Torchlight, when you use devastate, you basically hold down the mouse button, and the destroyer will follow your cursor, draining mana as he goes. He hops around taking huge swings, and (imo) it's pretty sweet. It works like ww in a way, good for groups of monsters and it keeps you moving so you don't get schwacked.
Now, at the risk of upsetting people, dare I say I like it better than ww? Now hear me out. WW is one of my favorite skills in D2, in fact my wwsin was one of my fav chars to duel with, but it always bothered me that I was supposed to believe he was spinning like a freaking tasmanian devil all over the place, somehow not puking all over the monsters and still being able to tell which direction to go, etc. It just never seemed right to me, but I loved how much it owned, so I put it out of my head.
But now along comes devastate, and I really like it. Torchlight is ok, though obviously nothing compared to D3 (or D2, or D1) but they had a great idea in devastate. I would love to see the D3 barb use something like it. What do you guys think? I think Blizzard would make it way better, and it would be a good contrast to ww, where ww is just a chaotic flurry of steel, the new-and-improved devastate would be more of a serious of well placed blows designed to keep you moving out of your opponents reach at the same time.
Obviously this is just something I think would be cool, as I'm pretty sure they pretty much have the barb all figured out, but I'm just curious if anyone agrees with me?

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. WW is in berserk tree correct? Maybe a devastate-like skill would be in battlemaster or juggernaut.
