==Development==
'''Revenge ''' was first introduced in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] demo, and had not changed much as a Tier III skill in the [[Blizzcon 2009Juggernaut Skill Tree]] version. The old Revenge would hit for , which did 100% weapon damage at rank 1, as opposed to the new 110%. The [[FluxBlizzCon 2009]] described using it at version was pretty much the same, but with increased damage. Revenge was one of the preset skills for the Barbarian in the [[BlizzCon 2010]] thuslydemo. [[Flux]] had this to say about its functionality:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/hands-on-from-blizzcon-mega-pvm-report-barbarian] <blockquote>''What happens with Revenge is that you put it on the 1-5 keys, and it stays grayed out/unusuable until you get into a fight. At some point during the battle, if you have enough Fury and you get hit, it activates. Then you can hit the hotkey to use it, and your Barb makes a kind of spinning back swing, like a counter in a fighting game.<br><br>''...I didn’t actually need it during the demo with the Barb; I was never low on hit points and could have passed up 75% of the health globes I earned. But the whole game won’t be as easy as this demo, and with more points in Revenge, or perhaps with skill runes, the life leech might be raised (or the activation might be increased in frequency) up enough to make this a really valuable source of health.</blockquote>
===Revenge in Other Games===
The mechanic for this skill was probably inspired from Warrior skills in World of Warcraft, where you can only cast some skills if you've been hit in the last X seconds. With the restraints on the use of the skill, it is not strange it is [[Fury]] free.
