Skill Design

This skill is confusing at first glance. It appears to almost be a combination of Frenzy and Cleave, combining the chain effect of cleave, and the attack speed bonus of frenzy. However, due to the wording of the skill, it could end up working more like the Paladin's Zeal from Diablo II.

Skill Rank Table

• Rank 1: Strikes X additional targets with each attack and increases attack speed by X%.

Trait Synergies

Rampage benefits directly from the following Barbarian traits:

• Intimidation: Increases damage done and reduces vendor costs.
• Cruelty: Increases your chance of dealing critical strikes.
• Weak Spot: Increases critical strike damage.

Rampage may benefit from the following traits:

• Frenzied Attacks: Increases the chance to deal critical strikes and increases critical strike damage when the Barbarian is wielding two weapons.
• Thunderous Blows: Increases damage done when the Barbarian is wielding a two-handed weapon.
• Beast Hunter: Damage bonus against Beasts.
• Demonsbane: Damage bonus against Demons.
• Just...Stay...Dead!: Damage bonus against Undead.
• Massive Blow: You have a chance to hit all nearby targets with a single hit. Requires a two-handed weapon.

• Die by the Sword: Increases damage done when the Barbarian is wielding swords.
• Axe Murderer: Increases damage done when the Barbarian is wielding axes.
• Brain Basher: Increases damage done when the Barbarian is wielding maces.

Note: The current trait list is very out-of-date and will no doubt be overhauled before game release.
