Does Figthers Powersurge stack with Barb Rage ?

[Troll-Loki]

Hi
I am thinking of a 12/8 Figther/Barb Horc Build to get the Kensai 2 Powersurge aswell as the most of the benefits of the Barbs Rage.

My question is if Powersurge stacks with Barb rage and if you can turn them both on ?

Best regards

Yes. They stack.

That's the crux of the popular "Blitz" build: 12 Fighter for Power Surge and haste boosts, 6 Barbarian for Rage and Frenzy.

yep

edit: dang ninja'd again

Ehhh, I wouldn't call it popular. 6 Barb is nothing to shake a stick at.

Re OP: I'll be the third to say yes. Fighter is Insight, Barbarian is untyped.

Blitz seems pretty popular to me, as advanced builds go. It kind of requires a TR, but it's certainly an impressive build once it gets going. It's arguably the highest with-aggro DPS build, depending on how reliably the boosts can be used.

Then again, its days may be numbered if the Barb TR feat gets fixed.

What most people forget is that it's notoriously difficult to keep up with any fluidity. I catch myself in a couple of fights per quest where not all my clickies are up. Plus I just can't stand barbs and rage and not being able to use scrolls/wands. Otherwise, it is a very powerful build.

And Barb TR feat may get pwned next update. I think next update is less about content and more about "spring cleaning".

Just to clarify for the opening poster:

Barbarian Rage and Fighter Power Boost do stack, and this is working as intended.

The Barbarian PLF in the Blitz build is NOT working as intended.

The Blitz build will still be a premier Stunning Blow build, even if the Barbarian PLF gets "fixed", in my opinion. The power of stacking the 2 biggest strength boosters allows for very high strength for tactics purposes.

Thanks for all replies
One question though:
The Blitz build seems to be about TWF and not THF. Why still using Horc when you can use the extra melee dmg and the THF enhancments. Going THF would free up stat points for int to use for skill points aswell
