The Barbarian enters a reckless rage, granting him the strength to use his abilities earlier than enemies anticipate and making him more furious as the fight progresses. This reckless state takes a toll on him, as he is completely oblivious to his own safety.

Skill Design

This Skill is pure gold, allowing Battlemaster Barbarians to start almost every fight with at least 1 fury orb, causing the fight end before it starts, and if they survive the initial skill, then the increase in fury gain will make casting other skills a breeze. It is on a 30 second cooldown, but is completely fury free, probably being the only Fury free skill for the Barbarian (assumed).

It is highly recommended that Barbarians of all builds should consider spending 5 points into it. However, the 25% increase in damage taken can become a problem, and may even result in unexpected deaths, so watch your health.

Development

Enrage was first seen in the BlizzCon 2008 demo, but was changed drastically and moved, judging from the demo seen at BlizzCon 2009. The old Enrage was in tier I and gave 100% damage increase and a 30% critical damage increase for 15 seconds at rank one.
