Rage was an Iron grade skill for close combat fighters, but most Enhancers wouldn't even consider learning it since it needed to harm yourself first. In most cases, it was regarded as a suicidal skill due to its unique requirements. No one wanted to waste 1 skill slot for such a skill that was useful only at the expense of serious injury. But it was a powerful skill for people with tough bodies.
If not for its special requirement, Rage, as a skill, would have been comparable to Bronze grade skills in power. Actually, the System was quite fair in that aspect. It bestowed such a limiting requirement to Rage, but when active, its power was no joke.
