Path of Exile 2 How to Activate Savage Fury
Savage Fury is easy to misunderstand at first because it looks active but does nothing on its own. If it sits at 100 percent and your life never drops, it is not broken. It just has one extra step most players miss.
Activating Savage Fury Properly
Savage Fury does not activate automatically at 100 percent. You must manually trigger it like an active skill.
Once it reaches 100 percent, you press the bound skill to activate the buff. If you do not press it, nothing happens.
If it is not on your skill bar, it will never trigger.
Why Savage Fury Looks Like It Is Not Working
Savage Fury has two parts. A passive part that fills to 100 percent, and an active part that you must use.
The passive portion shows in your skill panel and fills when you deal damage or gain Rage. The active portion must be placed on your bar and pressed.
This is why your health does not drain and no buff appears.
How to Put Savage Fury on Your Skill Bar
Savage Fury cannot always be dragged directly.
Instead, click an empty slot on your skill bar. Savage Fury will appear as an option and can be assigned from there.
Once assigned, you can press it like any other skill when it hits 100 percent.
What Happens When You Activate It
When Savage Fury is active, you gain a visible buff with a countdown timer. During this time, your damage increases and your life drains.
If you do not see the timed buff, Savage Fury is not active.
When the buff ends, you must refill it back to 100 percent before using it again.
Form Switching Cancels Savage Fury
Savage Fury is tied to your current form.
If you activate it and then switch forms, the buff is removed immediately. This includes switching back to human form or changing between animal forms.
Always activate Savage Fury in the form you plan to fight in.
Common Savage Fury Mistakes
Letting it sit at 100 percent without activating it
Forgetting to bind it to the skill bar
Switching forms right after activating it
Expecting it to trigger automatically
Using Burbs when not prompted
Thinking it works like a Herald
Once you know these rules, it becomes very reliable.
Final Blurb
Savage Fury works exactly as intended, but it requires manual activation. Build it to 100 percent, bind it to your skill bar, activate it in the correct form, and use it during your damage window. If nothing happens, it was never activated. Simple once you know the trick.
