Skill Mastery: Bloodsurge

Skill Mastery: Bloodsurge   While a lot of debate goes back and forth about how much damage Fury is doing in Wrath, and how fun the tree is, there’s one fury talent that is unabashedly awesome in my opinion: Bloodsurge.

That sound means hit the slam button for extra damage! It’s like getting all cherries on the slot machine, but without having to sit with all those people feeding quarters into the boxes with that desperate, hardened stare. Those folks scare me.
