Adrenaline Rush (double base melee damage for 20sec)

The irony of this realm ability is that it will never be boosted because it is *too* weak. Very few people use it, let alone care enough to send feedback. Improving this realm ability will not affect many players, but it will make sense and it will make the realm ability system (which is an awesome aspect of this great game) a little richer.

Adrenaline Rush has THE longest re-use timer of any realm ability or rr5 ability for that matter. Double damage may sound nice on paper, but classes who cannot specialize in weapons have very limited melee dps, so the effect is negligible. Adrenaline Rush also has a "no style" restriction that prevents you from using CL styles while it is active. This restriction dates back to when all classes had access to this realm ability.

I have no idea how much it should be boosted, but there is plenty of room for improvement, so don't hold back

A shorter re-use timer, increased damage the higher you spec, and removal of the style-restriction would be a good place to start, imho.

I'd also like to hear what other players think about AR.

Waste of time to spend 5 sec thinking about it.

Any class with access to it has no business in melee. Their WS will be so low their damage will not increase - 200% of zero is still equal to zero.

It's a PvE ability pretty much. It does need a buff but no one would prob get it anyways. Some classes could use it though...


Necros (as i would assume it'd transfer to pet)


Nice for a cleric/healer/shaman who is leveling up

This is one of those things that if Mythic actually did change Adrenaline Rush, players would lol at Mythic wasting their time.

Mythic did have the opportunity to adjust it when they changed the RA system recently, but you're right that they will probably recieve a lot more flames than praise if they change it now.

As far as AR being a decent PvE ability, that is deffinately not the case. A 20sec duration with a 20min re-use timer is absolutely useless in PvE.

Does Triple wield for BM still have a bug where it does more dmg if you are a level below your opponent or zone cap or something? Thought I read it does better say for thid to stay level 23 for a BM.
