The Barbarian enters a rage during battle, hitting harder than his enemies initially thought.
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.
Skill Rank Table
- Rank 1: Enter a rage which increases damage done by 32% and increases Critical Hit chance by 25%; lasts for 15 seconds.

Development
Battle Rage was first seen in the BlizzCon 2008 demo. It originally increased damage by 100% and increased critical chance by 30% at rank 1. It was also placed in the Battlemaster Skill Tree.
For the BlizzCon 2009 version, the damage bonus and crit chances had been nerfed heavily, to be more balanced. It was also moved to the Berserker Skill Tree. As typical for buffs in gameplay demos, this skill wasn't used much, as Flux explained:[1]
I used this one a few times to test it out, and it worked, but I could hardly tell the difference, since monsters were dying so quickly anyway. As was the case with the Monk, the Barbarian was so strong and overpowered in the Blizzcon build that boosting him further with war cries wasn’t something many players bothered with. “Ugg too busy smash! Ugg not use stragedy!”
Battle Rage was available in the BlizzCon 2010 demo, but there are no gameplay reports detailing any use of the skill. Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Battle Rage became a level 3 skill.
