Rage Crash and Temp powers

[Ukase]

We all know Rage Crash is no fun. But, Rage is fun, so we deal with it. 

While I noticed that Foot Stomp doesn't do any damage while Rage-crashed, I do get the damage mitigation. 

So, I figured I'd try to see if I can take advantage of the Nem Staff KB while crashed. Well, I missed, but Sands of Mu allowed for full damage, despite the rage crash still showing as active in Combat attributes. 
Perhaps this is WAI. Perhaps not. Figured I'd report it.

I believe this is working as intended.  The four Veteran attacks (Sands of Mu, Ghost Slaying Axe, Nemesis Staff, and Blackwand) were coded to ignore damage buffs but they have a higher damage scaling so they're still decent at upper levels.  It likely works in both directions and the powers also ignore damage penalties as well.

WAI. The powers ignore strength, both buffs and debuffs.

It's been that way since live.  That's one of the things I use during the crash: taunt, dull pain, vet or temp powers.

The most effective power to use during a Rage crash is alt+tab.

[PeregrineFalcon]

Or instead try Taunt, Nemesis Staff and Hand Clap. By the time those are done animating the Rage crash is over.

 

So many of you act like the 10 second Rage crash is the end of the world. THE END OF THE WORLD!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!

 

Ridiculous.   🙄

Also of interest (to me, anyway)...the procs I've got in burn also work during the rage crash.

Rage crash doesn't disable procs and procs are also not affected by damage buffs/debuffs.  A proc heavy build can certainly circumvent rage crashes.

I only started using procs a few months ago. And haven't played SS in a couple of years, so these were things of interest. But, it seemed to me that they probably shouldn't work during rage, which was my reason for posting initially. But, I guess I can take the good with the bad, lol.
