Could you have not just slowed down the overall arch of the leap? Rather then doing this clunky stop before hitting the ground and then slamming into it?

Just feels like leap is lagging and ruins the smoothness of the overall experience.

The intention behind this change wasn't really to nerf leap as much as it was to ensure that the male and female Barbarian leap animations were completing at the same time. Previously it didn't matter much that the two different leap animations weren't exactly the same, in fact it was hardly noticeable by most, but items like Lut Socks had offset the balance too much between the two Barbarians, and we wanted to fix that.

The fix didn't quite work out as we intended however, so we do have plans to improve leap in a future patch that will make Barbarians leap more quickly at a faster pace than the original female animation.
