Battle Rage - For 16 seconds you move 25% faster and gain double adrenaline from attacks, Battle Rage ends if you use any non attack skills. When Battle Rage ends, you lose all adrenaline.

Honestly... you can do increased attack speed and get 33% more adrenaline and do 33% more damage without the negative effects of battle rage aka lose all adrenaline when ends...

Oh nos 25% faster movement... equip rush, use when needed...

Doesn't cost energy.... ok I'm willing to sacrifice energy for the extra damage and stuff especially since with an energy skill oh say fury you can use it at the start versus building 4 adrenaline.

Summary - make battle rage better, my suggestion is to remove the "When Battle Rage ends, you lose alll adrenaline." Or at least fix it so when you use it when its already up it doen't make you lose all adrenaline... And hey for an elite if you leave the lose all adrenaline slap a 33% increased attack speed on there.... wouldn't that be more of a "rage"

I started using Battle Rage in random arenas last night.
I actually was a ton more succesful with it than I have been with Frenzy for obvious reasons. I do use Frenzy to get my adrenaline up to use Battle Rage however. If you don't want to lose all your adrenaline, simply use the skill again as it begins to fade.
You can have limitless Battle Rage if you go that route. You can't however do anything but attack. Thus limiting the ability to remove hexes or conditions. It's a trade-off.
There really isn't another speed buff skill that doesn't have its weaknesses.
Frenzy, self explanitory...Flurry...you're doing less damage.
Tigers Fury, it gets rid of all your non-attack skills and it's cooldown can be a problem.
Berserkers Stance, but it has a killer cooldown as well.
Battle Rage would be overpowered if you didn't lose all your adrenaline.
It has a low cost usage to begin with.
I just live with the idea that I need to keep swinging until I die.

Battle Rage is a great skill if used properly. In fact, used with an IWAY build, it's almost unstoppable, allowing you to keep Battle Rage up indefinitely and you would end up with a permanent 33 IAS, +6 Health Regen, Double Adrenaline, 25% faster movement boost. Good Game.

If it weren't for Eviscerate (or Devastating Hammer), this would probably be my skill of choice.

Battle rage is one of the best warrior elites, permanent 25% increase and double adrenaline. All you need is two hits to restance it.

Learn to use it first, THEN try to complain about it.

Agreed. Final Thrust spam ftw.

indeed....my warrior builds almost all contain that skill now (except the W/E)

with axe, and battle rage skills with monk regen skills, there is no way to defend, anything tried to run, well your simply faster and everytime you hit (while being faster) you can recharge battle rage and use it again to continue chasing your opponent to kill its ass!! that and with most axe skills, battel rage ups them so fast you can use them all and recharge battle rage AGAIN and use the axe skills again and do the same process over and over (if you have your axe skills setup properly in your skill bar then you can simply just hit 1,2,3,4 and your opponent is phuked)

truley great skill
