 '''Wrath of the Berserker''' is a Rage [[Barbarian skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 30, transforming the Barbarian into a giant, hulking beast for a short period. While in this state, the Barbarian gains massive bonuses to both damage dealing and defensive stats.
-<br><br><br>__TOC__
+Though the bonus is short-lived, with just a 15 second duration, it's possible to greatly extend the duration with skill runes and equipment that generates critical hits. Expert players with good equipment and specific [[builds]] can maintain this form indefinitely while fighting large groups of enemies, giving their Barbarian an enormous boost to killing power and survivability.

 ==Skill Design==
-This [[skill]] turns the Barbarian into a furious killing machine with bonuses to physical damage-dealing stats, and it also adds defensive bonuses as well. It provides a way of disposing tough monsters quickly, such as bosses or minibosses. One could argue that this skill is a very good demonstration of the design philosophy of the Berserker skill tree, where there is no such thing as too much power.

 '''Wrath of the Berserker''' first appeared in the [[BlizzCon 2009]] demo at Tier VI in the [[Berserker Skill Tree]], and stuck around for [[BlizzCon 2010]] as a Tier 7 skill. Unfortunately, in both demos Barbarians didn't have a high enough level to select it.

+Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Wrath of the Berserker became a level 29 skill. It was, however, demonstrated at the event. Kutako.com mentioned it in their hands-on report:[http://kotaku.com/5825582/diablo-iii]
 <blockquote>''We see the Barbarian's Wrath of the Berserker, a special ability that transforms him or her into a dark giant beast capable of slicing through Diablo's minion hordes.''</blockquote>
-The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]], and Wrath of the Berserker was classified as a Rage skill and moved to level 30.
