Skillset guide

ArcheAge Battlerage skills & passives

Melee strikes and offensive pressure.

Close-range attacks, gap-closing movement, and chained strikes keep pressure on enemies. Plan how to reach a target before committing to melee.

Battlerage active skills

Each skill costs one of your 20 points. Some open only after you have spent points elsewhere in Battlerage.

Triple Slash
Strike rapidly in succession, increasing damage as the attack sequence continues.
Charge
Rush an enemy with a melee attack that roots the target on impact.
Light Hands
Increase your chance to parry and the damage of melee critical hits.
Sunder Earth
Strike the ground to damage enemies and reduce damage taken by nearby allies.
Frenzy
Taking damage increases your melee attack, while dealing damage lowers your physical and magical defenses. The frenzy also protects against knockback.
Decisive Strike
Deliver a heavy melee strike with stronger critical effects when attacking from behind.

Remove a root effect that is preventing you from moving.
Roar
Make disabling effects last longer on nearby enemies while shortening those same effects on yourself.
