Any reason to upgrade Focus Rage from App I to Adept I or higher?

[TheV]

<DIV>Ok, I know that this question could very well become a moot point in a couple weeks with the combat revamp, but I'm trying to play and enjoy my character now. I'm willing to put up with whatever changes occur in a few weeks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, is there a point to upgrading some skills? Focus Rage is a prime example. I had saved some cash up and was going to upgrade some skills. Focus Rage was one of the most recent acquired skills which was still at App I for me, so I looked it up on the broker. There were quite a few Adept I available, but upon comparison, the Adept I version read exactly the same as the App I. At a cost of 5 gold I chose to update other skills which were noticeable improvements damage wise.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Was this the correct decision? Or does Focus Rage at Adept I actually have noticeable and improved differences that just aren't detailed in the spell description?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kriger</DIV>

<DIV>I've noticed no difference.</DIV>

The amount of haste upgrades, the description does not.  APP1 os like 35%, master 1 its like 45%.  But post combat changes, Rage and Infuriate are upgrades to focus rage, so don't bother upgrading it now.  The new style of the buffs give a 10% chance to proc on attacks, and a 30% chance to proc while getting hit.  Master 2 Infuriate gives 25% haste and dps buff.

<P>Actually it is worth to upgrade. I have mine at ADEPT 3 and it ALWAYS keeps me in a constant state of berserk. It is ONE con and increases the chance to zerk very nicely.</P> <P> </P> <P>Hope this helps</P>

<P>It doesnt change the percent amount you berserk, all it changes is your attack speed, thats currently how it works on live.</P> <P>You have like just under 2 weeks to upgrade it if you think its worth it.</P> <P>If you can, all i would do is buy Adept I, wait till the combat changes go through and upgrade your new CA's that upgrade from Focus Rage.</P>
