Frenzy (Diablo II)

Frenzy is a Skill in Diablo II.

Lore
''Although a Barbarian is capable of calculated blows and tactical fighting techniques, it is his fierce passion for battle that distinguishes him in battle. While using this skill, a Barbarian drives more and more force into each successive blow as his anger and bloodlust mounts. ''

Synergies

 * Gives synergy to: None
 * Receives synergy from:
 * Double Swing: +8% Damage per level
 * Taunt: +8% Damage per level
 * Berserk: +1% Magic damage per level
 * Increased Stamina: +0.4 Seconds per Level

Frenzy hits an enemy with both weapons, and upon each successful hit, the Barbarian builds charges of Frenzy. For each stack of Frenzy, the Barbarian moves and attacks more quickly. The attack speed bonus applies to all skills while it lasts, not just to Frenzy itself.

While the bonus per stack is fixed, and does not grow with the skill level, maximum bonus does increase, therefore allowing more stacks to be accumulated. The maximum amount of Frenzy one can accumulate is also limited by the relatively low duration of just six seconds (which can be increased by the Increased Stamina synergy): short duration of the buff makes it very hard to preserve when out of direct combat.

As Frenzy has Berserk as a synergy, dual-wielding Barbarians can have access to some Magic damage after enough points have been allocated, allowing them to destroy Physical Immune monsters within a reasonable amount of time while not suffering the drawback of destroying their defenses to the point of suffering from almost every hit.
