== Lore ==
 
Bloodlust is defined as "a strong desire for bloodshed."
 
 
Bloodlust is a spell that increases a creature's size, strength, and attack speed. Appeared in Warcraft II and III.
 
 
According to the RPG, Bloodlust requires a drop of blood mixed with earth to cast.

== Notes ==
 
Following patch 3.0.2, both Heroism and Bloodlust affect the entire raid. Also, everyone who is affected by the ability receives a 5 minute debuff called Sated, preventing them from being affected by either Heroism or Bloodlust for the duration of the debuff (5 minutes). The duration of this debuff was increased to 10 minutes in Patch 3.1.0, whereas the cooldown of Bloodlust was reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.
 
 
== Tactics ==
 
*The most common use for Bloodlust is during bosses in raids. When it is used varies from boss to boss and guild to guild, but usually at the last 25% of the boss.. When soloing, it can be useful for crunch situations or tougher mobs, such as targets for group quests.
 
*This is one of the largest errors in the Blizzard's "bring a player, not a class"-policy. In [[Cataclysm]], however, Mage's will have similar effect, coupled with raid-wide movoement speed increase.
 
*When Bloodlust is used in raids, it is usually good idea to dump all other CDs you have ([[Avenging Wrath]], [[Rapid Fire]], [[Arcane Power]]...) at the same time, becouse in many cases it will result higher overall damage than using the cooldowns separately.
