Dread Iron

This mighty belt links two skills together: Ground Stomp now also triggers an Avalanche, and on top of that Avalanche's damage is greatly increased. You turn a control skill into a damage bomb without having to sacrifice an extra skill slot for it.

For the Barbarian this opens up a punchy area build: you stun the enemies with Ground Stomp and, in the same instant, bring rocks crashing down on them. Practical tip: drop Ground Stomp right into dense packs so the Avalanche catches as many targets at once as possible. Since the stun holds the foes in place, they soak the full falling damage instead of fleeing the danger zone.

The Ground Stomp rhythm

Ground Stomp generates 15 Fury, has a 12-second cooldown and stuns all enemies within 14 yards for 4 seconds. Thanks to the belt, every cast brings an Avalanche along, which normally deals 2400% weapon damage. How often that happens is therefore set by Ground Stomp's cooldown.

Two runes stand out:

  • Deafening Crash cuts the cooldown to 8 seconds - more stomps mean more Avalanches. Enemies are also slowed by 80% for 8 seconds after the stun wears off.
  • Wrenching Smash widens the area to 24 yards and pulls enemies closer before the strike lands, so the Avalanche hits a bunched group.

Beyond those, Trembling Stomp adds 575% weapon damage as Fire, Foot of the Mountain grants 30 Fury per cast, and Jarring Slam gives a chance at health globes.

Fixed properties only

All three properties are predetermined: +416–500 Strength, +416–500 Vitality and Increases Avalanche Damage by 150–200%. The Avalanche bonus is the value that makes the difference - a primal ancient belt carries the full 200%.

According to the flavor text, Dread Iron was forged from armor recovered after the destruction of Mount Arreat.
