RAGE, just want to AVOID it

**qes** · 10-22-2010, 07:27 AM

I would like to see a means of stopping rage from happening! I have no desire or intent for this to turn into a argument about minus's and plus's of rage.
I just want means of stopping rage from happening to my toons!

It was really nice when rage was limited to the one that cast it used it, to bad that issue was fixed!

Hmm maybe the madstone rage rods can be adjusted to cancel out rage on self for normal rage being cast in party?

The only reason to cancel rage is if your a turtle, and turtle stances disable rage, otherwise it is a bad use of the spell as it should only be used when you are on the offensive.

What is your AC?

**qes** · 10-22-2010, 07:35 AM

I honestly want to see means of getting rage canceled or even better stopped!

**Lorz** · 10-22-2010, 07:37 AM

Why?

I'm sorry your gonna have to explain your position on this one.
Why would you not want a rage? And where is this happening to you? So we can understand why this is an issue.

I have just about every class of toon...and cannot think of a reason you wouldn't want rage.

**Zombiekenny** · 10-22-2010, 07:38 AM

I don't, cause most people benefit whether they want to admit it or not, or realize it or not.

Just stand outside the buffing circle when rage hits. It's a short duration spell so it should hit pretty late in the cycle. You're clearly not interested in melee, so you won't be interested in the last Haste either, just use your expeditious clickies.

As for Rage being useful...

Are you below level 10?
- Yes: put down that stupid wand and start doing some melee damage!
- No: AC doesn't matter.

i'd rather have means to stop barkskin and camouflage (and stoneskin on my pure fvs)

Turn on Defensive Fighting.

That cancels rage?

The only time you should care is if you are on the bubble of having meaningfull AC...and then you should still value the additional Strength and Con.

I accidentally snagged an AC build when I cast it doing a Chronosphere last night. It wasn't a big deal as being our first time through we were seriously over level.

I can see it being something important for hero-raids, like VoD, where that extra AC might matter. If that extra AC does matter, the caster needs to step back and get everyone but the hero.

Since U7, yes. At least the Rage-spell - Madstone remains. Haven't tried it with Barb Rage.

style of wanting to play toon, i can certainly continue on with other reasons why i do not want rage as well as input from others that do not want rage as well.
I understand the thought behind the values that some feel are of use for certain things from rage, however just a simple and heartfelt request of being able to have a means of being to not get rage or being able to cancel it would be great.

As I have said before I do not want to get this into a argument for or against rage, simply put a simple request of being able to cancel rage is what i want as well as numerous others desire.

this forum area is for request for enhancements not otherwise.

um....then give us reasons why you don't want it. Don't like an extra str/con boost, - to ac? Are you a role player that promises never to get mad (raged)? I don't know a single toon that doesn't like rage, and I can tell you people were severly ticked off when it "bugged" to a single target spell.

**Tapsimanxer** · 10-22-2010, 11:31 AM

defensive fighting does cancel rage. nice to know. trying it out, was the first time i put defensive fighting on my hot bar XD

He just told us...he doesn't wanna see the red spots.

Although he appearantly missed the post before his, where it was confirmed that entering defensive stance eliminates the Rage spell.

If you have ever had an ac build, you realize every bit of AC means everything. That -2 almost takes out a chattering rings ac....one of the most difficult items to get in the game. An AC build needs a every little bit of AC they can get...

but its also for working out brought up ideas and getting a first impression.
for your issue on rage: i cant see the point why anyone would not like to have rage exept high ac tanks
for your issue on dismissing buffs: i can see some need here (SR on a pale master lich blocks harming etc).

having the ability to dismiss a buff casted on you /signed
ranting about rage, go and punch some pillow till rage stops XD (honestly it was a nightmare to rebuss rage on every one as a single target and im rally happy it got fixed)
