Rupture
Rupture is a rune effect in Cleave, a Fury-generating Barbarian skill.
This rune effect causes enemies killed by Cleave to explode, dealing 85% weapon damage over an 8 yard radius. This is an extremely useful effect against large crowds of enemies, and provides the Barbarian with his best early level AoE skill.
Post-Release Changes[edit | edit source]
Cleave was buffed in the v1.0.4 patch, increasing the damage of the base skill and all the rune effects. Several of the rune effects were given additional buffs as well, though Rupture was not amongst them.[1]
- Cleave changes in v1.0.4:
- Weapon damage increased from 120% to 140%
