Pounce is a werewolf meta skill. The user leaps to the target location and slams the ground, dealing damage. The skill applies Predator's Mark (or a socketed Mark) on one of the enemies it hits. Predator's Mark causes the marked target to take increased damage per nearby enemy and when activated it summons a wolf minion for the user.
