Blood Dance boots + Frenzy = free blood rage.
No need to be CI
And don't say nobody doest that - I do.

Again, the drawback is not a lot of defense on your boots and reduced attack/cast speed per charge!

I often ask this of my friends. I have never gotten a reasonable answer.

It's one of several reasons why attack based characters are migrating to CI, whether they be ranged, melee, or whatever.

The exodus of all players to the CI master race continues....

Running life will soon be considered by pretty much everybody as being inferior to running CI, for basically every type of build in the game.

I have just realised what the main reason for blood rage is: Spell casters can only (except unique) get frenzy charges with the help of blood rage. So it really is inteded for CI and not really for life.

But the skill still makes no sense to me, why does CI get free frenzy + life leech without any drawback? And if it is specifically or mostly intended for CI, why is the only drawback for life builds and does not apply to CI?

If the "main reason" is for spell casters why does it have life leech on attacks?

If it were meant for CI only why include the chaos damage to life & added attack speed on Low Life?

The stats on the gem & the colour (dex) would indicate it's "main reason" is for a low life weapon user. Not a CI caster at all. A CI caster is really only taking advantage of half the stats on the gem. Arguably the 6% life leech is just as strong as the Frenzy production.

It's also worth remembering Blood Rage was in the game before the change to chaos resistances.

It's rooted as a CI freeby more than ever but looking at the stats Blood Rage's "main purpose" is meant for a build that has never existed.
