Reckless Abandon is currently bugged on live. I have max rank of Reckless Abandon, and ever since the change to make the chances from 50/50 to 75/25 this bug has been happening. Here's how Reckless Abandon should work based on the past years experience with (and the spell info): hit Reckless Abandon -> Reckless Abandon Recourse I -> Reckless Abandon Recourse II -> Reckless Abandon Chance I or Reckless Abandon Chance II w/ Doom debuff What's happening on live is there are now two VERY different recourse paths as such: hit Reckless Abandon -> Reckless Abandon Recourse I -> Reckless Abandon Chance I. OR: hit Reckless Abandon -> Reckless Abandon Recourse I -> Reckless Abandon Recourse II w/ the Reckless Abandon Doom debuff. So basically in the first recourse path it completely skips over Reckless Abandon Recourse II, and in the second recourse path it skips over the Reckless Abandon Chance I/II but somehow gives the Reckless Abandon Doom debuff at the same time Reckless Abandon Recourse II is applied. The issue with both of these recourse paths being we are losing out on 12sec of our best hit dmg mod.

Allows a Berserker to throw caution to the wind and enter into a heightened state of combat at the risk of suffering terrible wounds when the burst of fury has run its course.

Reckless Abandon Chance II appears to then auto-cast with Reckless Abandon Recourse II. This needs fixing please.
I only see three ranks of Reckless Abandon being available to me. I notice on Zam that the changeover from 50/50 to 75/25 occurs on rank 4, but, as far as I can tell (and I do have all expansions), we only have access to RA ranks 1 to 3. Perhaps a prior patch took back the next three ranks and didn't refund the AAs spent or something, but at this point there doesn't seem to be a way to move past rank 3 with it's 50/50 chance. It sounds like it may truly be broken.
Good point! I must apologize as I have not played since early VoA! I kinda want to come back at some point but so long as key elements of the class are so frustratingly broken I just cant be arsed!
