[edit] Notes

• It's a good idea to bring another stance skill to cancel Frenzy early, such as Rush, in case you start to take too much damage.
• Damage is doubled from all sources, including those that ignore armor. Does not double life stealing.
• Generally used by Sword and Axe warriors in PvP. Hammer warriors tend to use Flail instead, partly due to their lower armor and partly because Flail has less of a drawback when foes are knocked down.
• Frenzy is generally too risky to use on non-Warriors, as their lower armor combined with the Frenzy drawback makes them too vulnerable.
• Skills that cap damage, like Protective Spirit, will be taken into account after Frenzy, therefore mitigating the double damage.
