Does Frenzy (or rather Frenzied Strikes) work with Unarmed Attacks?
Hope it's going well everyone.

Tried scouring multiple wikis for this information, and all I found were old forum posts, nothing really new or at least more recent.

I wanna try running a Barbarian/Monk hybrid in my next playthrough, but I can't find any information on how Frenzy and Frenzying Strikes, or any other Rages, would work with Unarmed Attacks. I can see that the default Rage that you get at Barb level 2 gives +2 damage to Unarmed Attacks, but I can't see any mention of it elsewhere on the wikis, and when I tried searching further, only thing I found were year-old forum posts that this is how it *should* work.

Has anyone tried this before? If not, would there be a way I could test this out? To tl;dr it, I wanna know three things:

1) Does Frenzy still provide a damage bonus to unarmed attacks as Rage does? (assuming they are Strength attacks ofc)
2) Can I use Frenzied Strikes without a weapon?
3) Does a Wildheart's Rage also provide its bonus to unarmed attacks as Rage does? (again, assuming that Strength is being used to roll them rather than Dex)

rage boosts melee dmg, both weapon and unnarmed(be it fists or some animal-like appendage), they dont even need to be strength attacks

so:
1- yes and not only with strength attacks

2- yes, it's just an extra melee attack that uses a bonus attack(and applies strain)

3- yes, again, no need for stregth attacks
