'''Wrath of the Berserker''' is a Rage [[Barbarian skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 30, transforming the Barbarian into a giant, hulking beast for a short period. While in this state, the Barbarian gains massive bonuses to both damage dealing and defensive stats.
==Skill Design==
This [[skill]] turns the Barbarian into a furious killing machine with bonuses to physical damage-dealing stats, and it also adds defensive bonuses as well. It provides a way of disposing tough monsters quickly, such as bosses or minibosses. One could argue that this This skill is a very good an excellent demonstration of the design philosophy of the Berserker skill treestyle Barbarian, where there is no such thing as too much power.
==Synergies==
The most common use for Wrath of the Berserker is to enable the [[Thrive on Chaos]] rune effect, which adds one second of duration for every 25 Fury gained. This must be used in conjunction with skills, passives, and equipment that enable the Barbarian to generate huge amounts of Fury, and thus remain in the WotB form indefinitely. The most common and useful options are:
* [[Battle Rage]] with the rune effect [[Into the Fray]]. Battle Rage grants a 15% damage bonus and +3% critical hit chance, while Into the Fray adds a "a chance to gain 15 fury from critical hits." This is an essential skill to pair with WotB since it enables massive Fury gain.
* +Critical Hit chance: This must come chiefly from equipment, and gloves, bracers, shoulders, and rings are common sources of this bonus.
** The [[Sprint]] rune effect [[Run Like The Wind]] releases numerous small tornadoes that deal damage, but more importantly provide constant hit checks on numerous enemies in the area. This is the Barbarian's best source of numerous critical hits.
** [[Seismic Slam]] the rune effect [[Rumble]] causes tremors to remain in the hit area, which deal 30% weapon damage and create numerous proc checks for critical hits.
** [[Passive Barbarian Skills]] that boost Fury or Critical Hit chance:
*** [[Ruthless]] -- This passive skill grants +5% critical hit chance and +30% critical hit damage.
*** [[Weapons Master]] -- This passive skill grants +10% Critical Hit Chance when the Barbarian has a mace or axe equipped.
*** [[Animosity]] -- This passive skill increases Fury generation by 10% and maximum Fury is increased by 20.
*** [[Unforgiving]] -- You no longer degenerate Fury. Instead, you gain 1 Fury every 2 seconds.
