It works on the Barbarian and all friendly players and their minions, increasing everyone's maximum hit points, stamina, and mana by a percentage.

	The warcry lasts for a good amount of time, longer with every skill point in it, and most Barbs max this one out quickly, and try to find bonus Warcries equipment to add even more to it. ~~A good Barbarian helm with bonus~~ to ~~Battle Orders is a very nice find~~.		The warcry lasts for a good amount of time, longer with every skill point in it, and most Barbs max this one out quickly, and try to find bonus Warcries equipment to add even more to it. Dual "echoing" swords are a popular weapon switch item, for Barbs who really want to up their BO.

	~~This~~ skill ~~doesn't add anything to~~ your current hit points, ~~mana, and stamina, it just increases~~ the maximum ~~possible number. So if you are at~~ 800/1000 hit points, ~~200 from max, and you get 100% Battle Orders cast, you'll go to~~ 800/2000 hps~~. This looks like you're~~ half dead ~~suddenly, and can be scary to characters who don't expect~~ it~~. You need~~ to drink potions or leech to fill up ~~from there~~.		Post v1.09, this skill increases your current hit points as well as the max. Prior to v1.09, the skill only increased the maximum, so a character who had 800/1000 hit points would jump to say, 800/2000 hps, and look half dead. In those days it was necessary to drink a few potions, or leech to fill up the red bulb. This also created a danger if Battle Orders' duration expired, since a character would drop back down to their normal hit points, and then look half dead again when BO was recast.

	~~You need to keep Battle Orders on, refreshing it before the duration runs out~~, or you'll ~~drop back to~~ your ~~normal max hit points~~, and then have ~~to leech or potion them full again~~, to ~~get~~ any ~~benefit from BO~~. ~~After all~~, ~~more potential hit points are useless~~ if you ~~don't actually fill them up~~.		Once you've played a Barbarian for a bit, you'll develop a timer in your head for how long since you last cast BO, and will learn to cast it again before then. BO lasts from 2.5-3 minutes at the level most Barbarians have in it. The mana cost is very low, so it's best to cast it any time you have a moment, even it's only been 30 seconds or so. It's possible to forget or not be able to stop for it during heated battles, and if you run out in the middle of a mob, it can be fatal. When there are multiple Barbarians in a party, the player with higher level BO should cast it for everyone, and keep track of the time so it does not expire.

	This is complicated when there are multiple Barbarians in the same party. The Barb with the highest level BO should be the only one to cast it, since if a lower level of it is cast, it resets everyone to their normal level of hit points, then ups their maximum by whatever % of BO they have. And you'll need to leech or potion to fill up again. You can reset your own BO if you forget to cast Battle Command first, or if you get a Skill Shrine and cast BO at the +2, then cast it again once the Skill Shrine wears off. In parties discuss who has the higher level, and let that Barb cast it. They need to be responsible for keeping everyone else refreshed though. If other players are nearby, BO them to keep the duration up, if you are letting them run out all the time, especially if there is another Barbarian around, you can't complain if they cast it themselves, no matter their Slvl. Other players should learn that when you cast it they need to hold still a minute, since most Barbs cast Battle Orders (and often Shout) first.		It's always good to cast it before you go to town, so you'll ideally get back to the dungeon and recast to reset the duration before it runs out.

'''Details:''' "Improve party members' life, mana and stamina". The most popular party skill in the entire game, virtually no [[Barbarian]] is satisfied with less than 20 base points in this skill. It works on the Barbarian and all friendly players and their minions, increasing everyone's maximum hit points, stamina, and mana by a percentage.

The warcry lasts for a good amount of time, longer with every skill point in it, and most Barbs max this one out quickly, and try to find bonus Warcries equipment to add even more to it. A good Barbarian helm with bonus to Battle Orders is a very nice find.

This looks like you're half dead suddenly, and can be scary to characters who don't expect it. You need to drink potions or leech to fill up from there.

You need to keep Battle Orders on, refreshing it before the duration runs out, or you'll drop back to your normal max hit points, and then have to leech or potion them full again, to get any benefit from BO. After all, more potential hit points are useless if you don't actually fill them up.

This is complicated when there are multiple Barbarians in the same party. The Barb with the highest level BO should be the only one to cast it, since if a lower level of it is cast, it resets everyone to their normal level of hit points, then ups their maximum by whatever % of BO they have. And you'll need to leech or potion to fill up again. You can reset your own BO if you forget to cast Battle Command first, or if you get a Skill Shrine and cast BO at the +2, then cast it again once the Skill Shrine wears off.
