SMASH!! Is definetely far too addictive. A little tale from last night, if you'll indulge me:
I've been teaming with my girlfriend (who's also enjoying her Stalker's stabbity goodness), and we're ripping through a mission filled with Wyvern at a furious pace. Due to the locations of the spawn and my life and endurance taps, there's barely a pause in the killing, but I'm down to about a quarter health as we round the corner and hit a boss, Lt and three minions.
My GF manages to say "Hold up a second, we'll need to..." before I spot my fury bar is at full, then roar and leap into the fray. The boss is halfway through his gloating spree when my fully-charged Shadow Maul explodes in his face. His health drops like a rock, and he runs through all his various phrases in under a second as I continue to beat him and drain his life. The little woman removes the Lt with a well timed stab, then goes to work on one of the minions bless her.
The boss drops just as a bloody patrol comes around the corner. They're bunched up, and Shadow Maul's recharged, so with health now on red, I let rip.
SMAAAAASH!!!
Three dead in the first attack, still on red health, life tap one, floor him with smite, punch out another with a one-two, turn to engage another with a roar....
...and there's no-one left.
After the red haze drops, I realise we've floored two groups, including a boss and Lt, starting on less than 25% health and endurance, in under 15 seconds.
I love my
SMASH!

I find myself doing the same sort of thing.
Any other AT in the game? I'd be sitting there, solo, looking at 2 orange lieutenants and 3 yellow minions and thinking "
eh, maybe I should wait a minute for my health and endurance." With my brute, suddenly I'm looking at that same group, have only 25% life, but 80% Fury and thinking "
that's an easy fight."
All hail the
SMASH!!!
