Frenzy is a Fury Generating Barbarian skill unlocked at level 11, which grants the Barbarian faster attack speed per successful hit.
Contents
Background
The Barbarian enters a frenzied state upon causing pain to his enemies, making him strike his enemies with ever growing fervor.
Skill Effects
The following is a very quick list. See the Frenzy rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
| Skill | Effect | |
|---|---|---|
 (Level 11) |
Swing for 80% weapon damage. Each swing increases attack speed of Frenzy by 15% for 4 seconds. This effect can stack up to 5 times for an total bonus of 75% attack speed. | |
|
Maniac | Each Frenzy effect also increases all damage done by the Barbarian by X%. |
|
Sidearm | Each strike has a X% chance to throw a piercing axe at a nearby enemy that deals X% weapon damage to all enemies in its path. |
|
Relentless | While under the effects of Frenzy the Barbarian gains X% increased movement speed. |
|
Smite | Adds a X% chance to call down a bolt of lightning from above, stunning your target for X seconds. |
|
Triumph | Killing a creature with Frenzy heals the Barbarian for X% Life over X seconds. |
Skill Design
Frenzy is an active skill. When you hit an enemy with this skill, the chance to activate the attack speed increase with a successful hit is 100%, and players who want their Barbarians to be faster than they already are with 'any' weapon, will certainly enjoy this skill.
Synergies
- No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.
Development
Frenzy was first seen in the BlizzCon 2008 demo as a Tier I skill in the Berserker Skill Tree. This first version was active, and increased weapon damage by 120% and attack speed by 6%, stackable three times.
The BlizzCon 2009 build changed it into a Tier III passive skill that built up as the Barbarian landed successful hits on his opponents. It provides a simple attack speed stackable buff.
By Blizzcon 2010, it had changed back to an active skill, again increasing weapon speed and damage. It was one of the Barbarian's preset skills in the PvP demo, and Flux described using it in the Battle Arena:[1]
Frenzy on the LMB was a frightful sight, especially when two Barbarians went toe to toe, stacked that on top of Wrath of the Berserker, and started hitting at eye-watering speed.
Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Frenzy became a level 11 skill.
Previous Versions
See the Barbarian skill archive for more details on previous versions of Frenzy and other Barbarian skills.
In Other Games
Frenzy has roots in Diablo II. The D2 Barbarian skill Frenzy provides boosts to attack speed, movement speed, attack rating, and damage; and speeds up other skills.
Media
Frenzy can be seen in action on video here:
