Rage is still looking great

Celestial hits way harder than Any other power x rage I don't want anything nerfed to the ground but tone down the damage or make it easier to interrupt. Celestial does crazy damage easily while using very minimum power.

1. Gadgets has a bunch of tricks so whoever says photon blast is what makes gadgets good clearly doesn't know the powerset.

2. Again I don't ever want anything nerfed into nothingness photon blast is faster than the other finishers does more damage stuns multiple times. Bring it inline with the others or bring the others up. (We all know what the devs will choose.)

Why do you think my goal is to completely ruin Rage and make it unusable? That's not what I'm trying to accomplish. It's being looked at could mean a slight adjustment to the power(which I hope it does because I don't want it do be worthless). Just to bring it more inline with others.

"It's the player not the power" is the biggest lie players tell in dcuo and the player saying it is almost always the Fotm power, and you even know it because you said it "Rage will blow out equally skilled power sets in melee dps". Saying that I don't believe in [;ayers coming to the forums getting powers nerfed, I think it's weak and petty, but please people stop telling that lie about players and powers

I mean this in the most unharsh way. If you lose to a celes as mental,gadgets,Hl,nature,electric,rage,ice than you don't know your power well enough cel is a decent dps

However I will agree with u on photon it his faster than others maybe if they give it a slight delay it'll be balanced but don't ruin gadgets without photon gadgets would be mediocre

The 3s cooldown is a bit much...feels like a knee jerk reaction to someone in pvp getting molly whopped my the outrage spam...make it 2s and it will be ok...Also since you don't like clip spam so much how about adding a cool down on fan and ram? Or a cool down on photon blast?

Stamp and posted.

sup fb. my problem with the rage nerf is that i have never seen a nerf like it before. rage was clearly op and we all knew it was going to get nerfed thats not a surprise (this happens everytime) but my problem with the nerf is that it took the enjoyment out of rage. i dont use respec power tokens i make new characters so i was leveling up with it doing duos and things of that level. i did however see videos of what people were doing such as odyssey beating the first room of nex in like 6seconds (if that).

i truly expected the damage output to be nerfed and not be made so slow that its no longer fun to use outrage. its just as if they added a cast time to lightning instead of nerfing the damage output. rage is meant to be fast its angry and relentless

is it still top tier? yes. will it still be on top? yes but that spark that i had when i was up against an army of adds barely alive soda on cool down and just lunged into battle with outrage and rage crash mechanics to fight and fight and fight until i could not fight anymore until either i was dead or they were.

i dont think the speed should have been touched

How are folks working with the "Rage Crash" mechanic as a Tank?

Do you find you rely on the visual prompt? The audio? Counting? Combo of all? Ever have/had issues where you miss it because it of various visual/audio pollution?

Amen

Outrage should have been fixed on test server. So this adjustment isn't any real surprise. The issue I have with it is that you've now gotten me addicted to playing as if I am Kratos and you TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME!!! It was awesome...got me on crack now u wanna take it back! U horrible Devs!

Just look at the power I think Rage is still costing a little too much. Probably just a minimal adjustment.

maybe you should play against beast HL dps that clips crazy. They blows celestial out of the water.

The damage with rage is not nerfed just the cool downs. So technically, it is still OP and yes it is as far as melee is concerned. I watched the rage dps destroy adds before I could even get off plague. My league mate even agrees that it is still OP for melee.

It hits harder but it also has a 2s "STUN ME!" window where you can knock them out of their combos and prevent any real damage from being done. You can completely shut down a Celestial DPS with enough stuns.

As for photon, it's just the CC that's an issue, breakout, right back into CC, breakout and right back into CC again, if you're lucky and it didn't make you block instead of breakout.... Also pretty crazy that the mod not only makes it uninturruptable, but also puts a hefty defensive buff while doing channeled powers... great offense and great defense... seems off /shrug. Either way Damage of photon is fine, I just think they need to adjust it so players can actually breakout of it however they do that (fixing CC in general woudl be a great first step).

All of the above!

I have a set combo, once I hit my rage power, I'll do 2 big scoop combos clipped with ragebringer, and the third will be with echain for a rage cancel, at least typically. If I'm stunned, I drop to the next set of cues.

The Audio, I kinda know fromt he audio now when a crash is coming, this is my constant reminder. As I hear it speed up, if my normal combo got messed up, I know when to check my refresh.

Then the end all be all, perfect option (other than having to look away from the bosses), is just knowing where on the power refresh you need to hit a rage crash. With the changes that went in last night, I made a new picture RQ, the white line is where it crashes, the green is where I can start my power to block the crash. It's kinda nice actually, basically right past the mans right arm I can hit my power. And I crash right at the end of the thicker first black line. This is in reference to the image on the Severe Punishment icon.

2h Home run/Outrage/Retch-jump

That's my go to efficient combo now. Still feel like a BAMF with my giant red energy axe, swinging away then clipping it with giant maces and back into the axe... just beautiful.

Oh dear lord the new cool downs in tank mode crashed me twice in nexus.

6 o'clock is no longer a good indicator, closer to 8 or 9 o'clock now.

Got a picture above of where the window seems to be, green = you can hit a power and it'll last long enough to block the crash. And white line is where the crash happens.

Visual. The audio on PS3 is to spotty for relying on.

Cool, thanks
