Frenzied Attacks

Frenzied Attacks is a passive skill available to the Barbarian and the Monk, which increases critical strike chance and critical strike damage.

Lore

Not known yet.

Design

When wielding two weapons, the character has 20% increased critical strike chance and 30% increased critical strike damage.

This only works while dual-wielding, so is not of use to a Barbarian or Monk who are using a 2H weapon, or a weapon with a shield.

Level Requirement

• Monk: level 13
• Barbarian: level 31

Synergies

No synergies with any active skills or other passive skills are known.

Development

Passive skills have had a long and storied history. When Diablo III debuted at the WWI 2008, skill trees included passive skills, much like in Diablo II. In 2010, it was announced that passive skills had been renamed traits and separated out from active skills. At the July 2011 Press Event, Blizzard announced that passive skills were once again in the game, replacing the traits system. Like many passive skills, Frenzied Attacks was moved directly from a trait of the same name when traits were changed back to passive skills in early 2011. Neither the name nor the function changed, though the stats may have been tweaked slightly.
