What exactly does enrage do?

[ZyF]

Aside from preventing domination, are there dmg/hp bonuses, do they use special attacks, or something else?

Already in ACT 4 and still don't know what exact it does haha.

I was wondering this too, since it just seems to turn enemies into a tactless bully afterwards. I think they're easier to kill when they're enraged, because I don't have to worry about them getting all "fancy" with tactics; they just swing at you, making them an easier target. But, Enraged by *blank* is always listed in the Positive side of their traits..

Makes no sense to me.

makesthem go berserk, and will hit anything around them, even allies.

See? Another plus for me. Not sure how it's considered a positive trait then.

Based on what I've seen, it makes them perform unblockable attacks in rapid succession.

Still not sure about dmg/hp bonuses but being enraged does make them fare better in arena fights since the arena default is usually just a staring contest--though I have seen this backfire when my orc killed his whole gang while enraged then, likely aghast at what he'd done, allow his already-broken opponent to butcher him without resistance.

Not entirely true. Enraged isn't always the same. It depends on what the cause is.
Enraged by a rival makes the enraged orc attack that rival.
Enraged by everything sends him randomly into rage made and he will attack everything.
Enraged by generic stuff like fire or poison will make him enraged but keep his normal targets, so he keeps focusing on enemies.

Other than that, enraged makes them hit harder, have tougher defence, their attacks become unblockable.

I've seen my followers during sieges with the Enraged by Caragors 'perk' - get attacked by a caragor - and then proceed to slap his bodyguards/warchiefs.

9 out of 10 times Im running around reviving followers because of friendly fire :/
no rivals or enraged by everything

I use the Skill that Enrages my bodyguard for a short duration and boy let me tell you the damage it makes him dish out is insane and if he's mostly 1 on 1 with another captain that is almost always certain death even if when they're higher level

I guess it depends on the type of Enrage, some indeed makes them target friendly, others don't, or maybe i've been lucky but regardless i find it to be quite useful

Enrage is actually explained in the in-game guide under 'hates', it makes them attack rapidly and regenerate health.

I tend to to send captains who get enraged by everything into battles alone. It's definitely an advantage then.

It's always something I check so I know which captains will work with other ones.
