Skill "Frenzy"

[Zamur]

What does it mean "prevents most of non-combat actions"? Drinking and using potions? Looting? Wyrdstones gathering? Can I use dodge and parry?

[Spoonie]

It specifically says you can't use defensive stances, I believe. Not sure on the rest, haven't gotten it yet on any of my characters.

[Orkhan]

You can't loot anything, you can't use stances like dodge and parry stance.
I'm not sure about climbing and jumping (but I think you still can do it) and I did not try potions yet.

Imagine you push yourself into a blood rage, you won't be able to do anything else than hitting and splattering your enemies.

Edit: You can still use Adrenaline Rush (the talent) to recover offensive points. It is a useful talent combination on heavy armored henchmen who use weapons in both hands on rank 6.

[Zamur]

Thanks.
And what about delaying your turn?

[董]

U can delay as normal. Ive yet test about otherr offensive/defensive skill yet

[Wendek]

Things I've used while in Frenzy : Adrenaline Rush, Black Hunger (Skaven specific skill), Climb/Jump, Delay, Charge
Things you definitely can't use : Any stance (including Ambush), Wyrdstone gathering, Looting.

Does sign of sigmar and frenzy work together? Sign of sigmar is not a stance.

[VladK02]

sign of sigmar should work.

my rat orge uses black hunger, frenzy, daredevil, bull charge, for that sweet sweet 200+ damage per hit. then another attack for 150 damage, then adrenaline for another attack 150, and then my leader says order 3 times, for another 450 damage.

Point i am trying to make is, sign of sigmar is, in my humble opinion, a waste of blue pills and skill points.

When using frenzy, your aim to make a kill in one turn. So maiden, i assume... 2 hammers, thats 60 damage normal x4 attacks. frenzy, daredevil, adrenaline, insult - thats 120 x 4 attacks. Leader in the back with 3x order... thats what, 120 x7 = 840 damage, a quarter will miss, but still a cool 600 damage. runes of perseverance, weak spot...to land as many hits as possible.

so roll in with maiden, do your thing, leader with order next, then a henchman in ambush to cover your maiden against counter-attacks by other units. No need for sign of sigmar.

Unrelated, but i found sign of sigmar to actually be a poor investment of blue pills. 4 pills for 10%... meh, you can get that from a passive awareness skill WITHOUT spending blue pills.

Anyone tested Insult with Frenzy?

[Wendek]

Yes, my Black Skaven had both. It works. Gives you something to use your SP when you're in Frenzy.
