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 it's quite damaging to enemies. Having a weapon with high damage will make this skill better compared to dual wielding.

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.

Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Furious Charge became a level 16 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Furious Charge was classified as a Tactics skill and moved to level 21.


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.
