Patch 9.0.1 (2020-10-13): Level reduced to 2 (was 3) and Rage generation reduced to 10 (was 20). Rank 2 added at Level 14 that increases it back up to 20. 
Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17): No longer snares the target. 
Patch 7.2.0 (2017-03-28): Charge now deals damage on arrival, and its snare begins after you hit your target. Now also roots the target for 1 second. - Patch 7.1.5 (2017-01-10): Now reduces the movement speed of the target by 50% for 6 seconds instead of rooting them.

- No longer generates Rage when charging against a non-player target multiple times in a row. Charge will still always generate Rage when used against other players.
Hotfix (2012-10-12): Fixed an issue that would prevent the stuns generated by Charge and

[Battle Stance].

Patch 1.9.1 (2006-01-10): Should no longer desync characters from the server when charging from land to water. - Patch 1.8.0 (2005-10-10): Camera angles when using Charge should be improved.
