HITTING SHIELDED TARGETS SHOULD PRODUCE DOUBLE RAGE INSTEAD OF NONE! HITTING BUBBLES ONLY MAKES ME ANGRIER!

THE RAGE NERF MADE ME SO MAD I STOMPED ON SOME BABY BUNNIES AND THEN MADE AN OMLETTE OUT OF THEIR EGG-LIKE REMAINS!

THEN I FORCE-FED THIS OMLETTE TO A VEGETARIAN!!!!!!


Quoted from a certain angry warrior thread.

Disregarding the rest of the post, the first part made me think. (/intellectbuff) Why does blizzard believe that shields and bubbles should negate rage generation? We're still doing damage... only to a power word: shield, or a ice barrier, etc, not to the player him/herself.

Besides, he has a very valid point. Bubbles do tend to angrify warriors. We should get double rage generation.

Who knows, Blizz could pass it off as a "balance" nerf/buff.

way to be SUPER late with reading that post.

rage + barriers = too OP. Even I as a warrior would admit that... not like they're hard to get through anyways with decent gear.

bah. you know what i do with pallies in pvp? i pound the crap out of them, then they bubble and start selfhealing, and then i use the next 5 seconds or so to beat the crap out of someone else. that someone else (unless it's a similarly geared warrior) tends to go down pretty fast without any healing ^^ then when the pally's bubble wears off and he has less mana, i pound on him again til he dies, couldn't be easier.

Ugh, I dunno. Maybe I've had one too many encounters with a 300+ resilience shadow priest.

You do.

You crit Damnpriest. Damage absorbed.
You hit Damnpriest. Damage absorbed.

You sob quietly in the corner. Sobbing absorbed.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that a) in PvP especially, when they put a shield up you should get _more_ than normal Rage production. Damn Priests/Paladins/Mages, we want to kill you! and b) Every time you Execute someone, and they get healed and live, double your Rage generation on the target when they're below 30% HP.
