::My Barbarian had about 100 Fury at level 7 or 8, and while I didn’t get to experiment with it that persistently, I could see enough to like the concept. The Barbarian is designed to be a [[melee]] battling character. He gets all sorts of bonuses while in combat, and many of his [[skill]]s only trigger when he scores [[critical hit]]s. With that design goal, the fact that he has to fight to build up Fury, and has to expend Fury to use most of his skills, is only natural. It looks like an expert Barbarian player will be most at home when surrounded by enemies, and will have to learn to cycle quickly through a variety of attack skills and war cry-style buffs to stay alive and able to smash his enemies.
::The only big Fury expenditure available in the BlizzCon build was [[Battlemaster_Skill_Tree#Battle_Rage|Battle Rage]], a wary cry that boosted the Barbarian’s damage by 100%, increased critical damage by 30%, and lasted for 15 seconds (with one point in it, which was all the BlizzCon build allowed to active skills). That was half, or more, of my total [fury], but I never minded spending it. The combat improvements were substantial, and since Fury faded away so quickly, I had a constant feeling of "use it or lose it." Whenever I finished a battle with a full Fury bulb, I tried to remember to cast this war cry, since the precious juice would all be gone by the time I got to the next battle anyway.
