Warning: Rage Armor may cause excessive fist shaking, over-the-top battle cries, and a sudden desire to smash things. Side effects include but are not limited to: increased heart rate, sudden war paint application, and an uncontrollable urge to clash, bash, and smash. Not recommended for pacifists, peacekeepers, or anyone who prefers tranquil tea times over big biceps. Ask your doctor before equipping Rage Armor. If rage lasts longer than four hours, consult a healer immediately.

So, what are you waiting for? Turn your calm into calamity with RAGE ARMOR: NEW AND IMPROVED! Available soon at Duskruin! Unleash your inner beast and let the fury fuel your fight!
