Rage Vortex is a melee attack skill that creates a ragestorm that continuously deals damage in an area for a short duration. If you have at least 10 rage, Rage Vortex sacrifices some rage to send a ragestorm forward. While enemies are inside it, the ragestorm will slow its movement and repeatedly deal attack damage based on your attack speed.

Rage Vortex can be used with a sword or axe.
