Does battle cry have full effect on act boss + uniques?

Hey guys,

As the title stats - does battle cry for the barb have full effect on act boss + uniques?... If so this is pretty much a hidden gem of a skill!

It even works on targets that usually cannot be cursed such as Possessed champions. It's nifty for when you are building up your character, but you probably won't need it in the end game.

Battle Cry is good, but Decrepify is better, and it will overwrite Battle Cry.

Usually better but for something that just needs a means of applying crushing blow on an act boss (singer is the obvious choice... I've done this, too) then battlecry is better.

In a tournament with multipass I ran normal baal to lvl 66 with a singer (only one quest allowed per day) but using battlecry and double swing with general's + strength (I think this was the runeword).

Helps survival quite a lot in tandem with integer damage reduction and high elemental resists. Just beware of might, extra strong and/or fanaticism.
