PI = Power Infusion?

I'd rather Bloodlust be like the original version found in War2 and War3: a short-duration buff to attack and movement speed that makes you big and angry.

You could balance it out by having a short debuff duration afterwards (you figure going crazy like that would leave you a bit drained.)

Arguably, the closest thing to Bloodlust is the Orc Racial ability, "Blood Fury". Increases attack power by 25% of the base (sucks) for 15 seconds and then applies a -50% to healing received debuff for 25 seconds, basically makes it a damage-less mortal strike on yourself. That racial ability isn't on my orc shaman's bar now, and it only serves as something NPCs can use against me when mind controlled, for example during Jin'do's fight (It always activates, meaning I'll be dead shorty after the MC). Probably closer in implementation is the Troll racial, "Berserking", which increases casting and attack speed with no harmful after affects (hax!).


Did Shamans have Bloodlust in War 3? I never played that game long enough to know that info. In War 2, it was the Ogre Magi, and seeing as there is no equivalent player character type for that, it would be inappropriate for Shamans to get it. Single Bloodlusting a bunch of orgres in War 2 was always a pain ;). Fun to let them run wild and free though, when bloodlusted.

EDIT: Added Blood Fury stats.
