Blood Rage
Blood Rage applies a buff that deals physical damage to the player over time, while increasing attack speed and life leech. Killing an enemy while this buff is active refreshes the buff duration, and has a chance to grant a frenzy charge.
Skill functions and interactions
Physical damage reduction: Damage dealt by Blood Rage is lowered by physical damage reduction. Note that armour only reduces physical damage from hits, and thus does not affect the damage taken from Blood Rage.
Much like Righteous Fire the damage from this skill does not count as a hit so does not trigger Cast when Damage Taken.
