I think we should move our discussion of BW out of playground's thread, guys. Let's talk about it here.

The old school thought that Bestial Wrath was a complete waste. Some of us aren't quite sure anymore.

Since Zechnophobe brought up the idea of adding BW to hybrid UBs, I've been testing it. It works very decently. I sort of miss the movement speed bonus of Inner Beast, but I think that it's worth the trade off. I think that Bestial Wrath 5 is a worthy alternative to Acclimation. Having your endgame weapon damage boosted by 65% for 10 seconds is incredible, and not being able to be slowed is also terrific, especially with annoying slow stacking Regs, ice TBs, and Oaks.

I usually only get it after I have spit and Ooze. I don't really even go for diseased claws anymore because it puts BW 4 back too far. Your damage output at level 13 is insane!

BW and spit are terrific against towers. This is one area where Ooze is useless. Oftentimes I can decimate a tower before the enemy teleports over.

I can get my DPS to well over 600 by level 13 with this build.

Problems:

I sometimes run into significant mana issues using this when I only have BotS and Unbreakable Boots. I'm thinking about possibly adding Nature's Reckoning. Anyone else have mana issues trying to run Spit and BW? Any thoughts? Perhaps I should only take 2-3 ranks of it?
