'''Fury''' is a [[Resource Poolresource pool]] that [[Barbarian]]s have in place of [[Mana]]to activate powerful [[skill]]s.   ==Diablo III Fury==This feature was introduced in the Blizzcon (October [[BlizzCon 2008) ]] demo build, and is not present in the gameplay footage from the [[WWI (June 2008) ]] when the [[Barbarian ]] made his debut.

::My Barbarian had about The only big Fury expenditure available in the BlizzCon build was [[Battle Rage]], a wary cry that boosted the Barbarian’s damage by 100 Fury at level 7 or 8%, increased critical damage by 30%, and while I didn’t get to experiment lasted for 15 seconds (with one point in it that persistently, I could see enough to like which was all the concept.

 While few of the Barbarian's combat skills were tied to Fury (or had Fury costs) as of the Blizzcon [[BlizzCon 2008]] build (October 2008), a variety of passive skills effect or modify Fury in various ways. A partial list:

Though we've not seen that much official information yet about FuryAs the [[D3 Team]] has commented, and how this property functions the D3 Barbarian is sure designed to change during developmentbe [[melee]] brawler. He's strongest while in [[combat]], some insight into the Barbarianand has various skills that increase his powers when he's designed play style can be gleaned from analyzing how dealing with multiple enemies, or that only trigger when he scores [[critical hit]]s. Fury works and reading over the ties into this design theme in obvious fashion. The [[Barbarian Skills|Barbarian's Skills]]require Fury to cast, and he can only build up Fury during combat, and Fury drains away quickly when he's not in combat. Hence a Barbarian will want to be in combat as often as possible, and will be at his strongest while fighting. It's a nicely-designed feedback loop.

As the D3 Team has commented, the D3 Barbarian is designed to be melee brawler. He's strongest while in combat, and has various skills that increase his powers when he's dealing with multiple enemies, or that only trigger when he scores critical hits. Fury ties into this design theme in obvious fashion. The Barbarian's Skills require Fury to cast, and he can only build up Fury during combat, and Fury drains away quickly when he's not in combat. Hence a Barbarian will want to be in combat as often as possible, and will be at his strongest while fighting. It's a nicely-designed feedback loop. In a related issue, if Fury drains away quickly after a fight (as it did in the October [[BlizzCon 2008 Blizzcon ]] Demo), Barbarians will want to hurry from battle to battle. Furthermore, a Barbarian will be generally unable to start off a fight with big Skillsskills, since those require Fury and the Barbarian won't have any until he does some hitting and builds it up. This should force Barbarians to play more strategically. They'll have to be cautious when beginning a fight, with only basic attack skills available. This is a big change from the D2 Barbarian, who almost always starts off a fight with his mana fully charged and his biggest skills ready to go.

 Few particulars are yet known about Fury. How is the maximum value determined? Is there equipment that will boost the total, or cause it to drain more slowly or fill more rapidly? Are there potions [[potion]]s that will fill the Fury bulb? Does the [[Barbarian ]] gain Fury when he or a party member collects a [[Mana Globe]]?

The visual representation of how much (or little) Fury a Barbarian has accumulated has undergone numerous changes during the development cycle. As of April 2009 the [[mana]]-like Fury bulb was gone, and a three-level, traffic light type system was in, with all new graphics. The evolution of this graphical change was discussed during Blizzcast BlizzCast #8, in March 2009. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies]

::'''[[Bashiok]]:''' You’re You're both working on a system which is the barbarian’s fury system. [How it's represented has] changed quite a bit. Can you guys go over how UI and effects are coming together to create the new fury system?

Besides the Blizzcon BlizzCon report cited above, Fury was discussed in great depth [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/on-the-drawing-board-7-the-barbarians-fury/ in this article], and it's a regular topic of conversation in [http://forums.diii.net/forumdisplay.php?f=132 the Barbarian forum].  ==References==* [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/barbarian-game-play-and-skill-tree-discussion/ BlizzCon Barbarian gameplay report by Flux]* [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/blizzcast-8-live-with-diablo-iii-goodies BlizzCast #8]* [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/on-the-drawing-board-7-the-barbarians-fury/ On the Drawing Board 7 - The Barbarian's Fury]
