That was deemed to happen one day

If you haven't noticed that line in the latest release notes from lammania :

NEW: Past Life: Berserker's Fury no longer modifies existing rage feats.

[Hobgoblin]

Their rages will last a little over a minute now with 6 levels of barb.

I still think blizt and archon builds will be good builds, they will just use rages as more of a burst mechanic rather than a sustainable mechanic. Even the first life versions of these are fairly powerful.

the current pl barb bonus is huge, it will pretty much trash blitz build imo. the whole point of the blitz was to exploit this feature so you have have enough rages to last between shrines 'the strength and pace of a barb, but with the atk speed of a fighter' now it will be not as good as either a pure barb or a pure ftr.

On the other side, a 12 barb / 6 fighter / 2 rogue FB 2 / SD 1 looks more sexy now.

+2 str is just a bit under what kensai gives damage wise, and is the same for to-hit & DCs, tho there's no additionnal boost.

On the plus side : with +2con and 10% max hp (not sure if it can be +10% of your barb-raged hp...) Hummm looks like something solid for those new heavy dmg raids.

Short rages followed by fatigue are not much fun...

I do think they needed to fix the effect this feat had on normal rages, but they need to add something to the feat to replace what was lost... The active feat is not really worth taking anymore.

It's not a nerf if the devs have been stating for close to a year that the ability was not WAI and was slated to get changed eventually.

That said, I am not happy that they simply removed the unintended features without addressing the fact that the feat is worthless without them.

Although i am sad to see it go, some of us have(had, i just tred recently) been using it for more than a year. Thats a long time for such a strong bug.

It had better give 20 hps after they fix it..

[Dark-Star]

Sad to see such a good build as the Blitz take a hit. It should still be decently strong though.

Conversely the Helves Angel build gets buffed by the changes to Damage Boost as well as the changes to Point Blank Shot, essentially doubling base damage on your ranged weapon within 45 feet.

If they are Drow versions who dumpstatted Con?

Rage duration = 18s + 6xcon modifier (includes the +4 con from rage).

So, to get a 1 minute rage, we need a 24 Con (6 item, 4 barb rage, 2 tome, 2 enhancements, 2 ship = 8 base?!?!)

(admittedly this does scale up by only 6 seconds every 2 extra base Con

The easiest solution is to squeeze those already tight enhancements a little further and take the +25 or +50% rage duration.
Rages will then still last close to 3 minutes.
