Battle Rage is a tier I skill in the Berserker Skill Tree, which grants a substantial increase in damage and critical chance.

Background

Diablo III Skill [e]

Battle Rage Active, 5 ranks
Used by:	Barbarian
Skill Description:
Enter a rage which increases damage done by X% and increases Critical Hit chance by Y%, lasts for Z seconds.
Skill Details:
Type:	Buff
Quantity:	Cast
Effect:	Self Buff
School:	Physical
Fury cost:	1 Fury Orb
Cast time:	None
Duration:	None
Cooldown:	None
Synergies:	None
Requires:	N/A
Prereq of:	N/A

This is a tier 1 skill, and its effectiveness is doubted when compared to other skills of higher tiers. However, at lower levels this is all you get, and should be taken. If it proves ineffective at higher levels, then resetting your skills is the correct thing to do.

Skill Design

This skill is good for times when fighting enemies with lots of hp, to speed things up or to maximize the chance of critical hits, and when combined with other passive skills in this tree, can make the Barbarian a dangerous machine without the use of signature skills like Whirlwind and Leap Attack.
