Intimidating Cry Build Guide

Previously, Intimidating Cry Intimidating Cry was only obtainable through a unique item. In addition to it now being available as a skill gem, it has undergone a full rework to be a lot more punchy and exciting. 

Its benefits are purely offensive. It achieves this by intimidating nearby enemies and exerting your next few attacks to deal double damage. It also provides a buff that lets you ignore some of your enemies’ physical damage reduction based on nearby enemy power. (Note: we’ll reveal what number of exerted attacks each Warcry creates closer to launch) 

It’s intended to be the offensive counterpart to Enduring Cry Enduring Cry. It should work in a wide variety of builds to make your next few attacks feel really powerful.
