Skill Design

Furious Charge is a good skill for escaping tough situations, running in with a bang or killing a particular monster behind frontal lines. The graphics of this skill make using it a lot of fun, and is quite damaging to enemies. Having a weapon with high damage will make this skill better compared to duel wielding.

Skill Rank Table

Rank 1: Charge directly at an enemy causing 100% of normal weapon damage to it and 65% to enemies in the way.

Development

Furious Charge was first seen in the WWI 2008 gameplay video, where it was a Tier V skill in the Battlemaster Skill Tree. This version dealt 120% weapon damage to the target and 80% weapon damage to enemies in the way at rank one.

The stats of this skill were reduced slightly for BlizzCon 2009, but couldn't be played in the demo because it was too high level to pick. It couldn't be chosen at BlizzCon 2010 either, so there are no gameplay reports detailing any use of it.

Previous Versions

See the Barbarian skill archive for more details on previous versions of Furious Charge and other Barbarian skills.

In Other Games

Furious Charge is an updated version of Diablo II's Paladin skill Charge. That skill did damage to a single monster after rushing at it, and included knockback.
