So, technically, it could be an actual tactic for a barbarian to pull an enemy off a 100 ft cliff with him, rage, and tank the damage. It might not kill the enemy, but it has the potential to damage the enemy twice as much as it would the barbarian, giving him a better chance at winning the fight.
If that’s true, that would be the most barbarian tactic I’ve heard of, and I want to try it.
