Blood rage and # of times it procs

[Heartsban]

<DIV>    I have noticed that blood rage procs a lot more the more mobs are involved in the group pull fight.   For instance, if you fight a single mob, you might see crazed swing pop off once, if lucky twice, and half the time none at all.  Same could be said for 2 mobs.  Once you get to 3 or more it fires off a lot more.  I really notice the difference when fighting 4 or more mobs at once.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>     We were doing guild writs in Zek and I know for sure blood rage popped off at least 7 times frequently while pulling the orcs there.  It was so much fun and I was filled with glee as countless orcs fell to my rage.  I need to test it a little bit more but I believe it procs that much for group pulls only of 3 or more, if you seperate pull solo mobs it wont work because its considered just one mob. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>     Test it and feedback would be nice.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>HB</DIV>

<DIV>I was using blood rage last night while doing writs in Nek forrest and I could only count 1 time that it went off, it didnt make a difference weather I was dual weilding or using a 2h, I am begining to think it is broke.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I think ull find that it will proc more versus groups simply because of the extra number of melee chances you will get through ripostes/Fury and if u use aoe arts such as furious onslaught. </DIV>

Also what level or BloodRage are you using? Adept 1 and up? ( it works good for me )

[tarasl]

<DIV>It does exactly the opposit for me. Using adept I i get more use and proc going into rage farming grey stuff for quests then hunting ANYTHING like leveled group or ungrouped. It's useless to me right now, so I don't bother with it. I'd rather not tick off my healers loosing a fifth of my health for 30 seconds of nothing.</DIV>

It's really just extremely random. I've gotten 5 procs on a single mob and 0 on a group of 3. The skill really is kind of a gamble.

<DIV>When blood rage was nerfed, they also nerfed its chance to proc... this is simple really, it has a dismal proc % rate.... bottom line</DIV>

I just made zerk last night, I have a skill called Forced Rage. Is this the skill you guys are talking about or is it a higher level skill you have?I use the Forced Rage skill and its like a 5 hour effect. When I get into fights I get a berserk proc when I am attacked by mobs. It goes off more times than I can count during fights when there are like 4-6 mobs. Solo mobs... I might see it proc lile 1-2 times if that.Disregard this if the skill im using isnt the skill your all talking about hehe <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Whether by design or not they do not seem to stack, if you have Bloodlust up Bloodrage will not proc.

Blood rage is a short term buff you use in a fight that gives you a chance to proc an encounter AE that hits every mob in the encounter. When it procs you will do a Wild Swing that hits every mob for 50-60 damage or so. The damage used to be much higher but they nerfed it.

<DIV>I'd also like to know the level of people who use this skill, if they find it procs a lot. At lvl 26 I'm of the conclusion that Blood Rage is pretty useless right now - BUT (and its a big but!) looking down the skill list, it seems that post 30 there are a lot of good AoE attacks to be had... As each AoE hit per foe also gives a chance at proccing, this may explain why many higher level people (*cough*Theyne*cough*) find this skill a lot more useful <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh, also noted is that the skill does seem to proc a lot more with 2H weapons than with dual wield.</DIV>
