A nasty rumor regarding changes to the "Rage" skill have been floating around for nearly a week. Speculation and conjecture made way for actual fact today as Community Manager CuppaJo stopped by our forums to link us about a news brief that just went up. NCsoft confirmed they will be reducing the Rage ability and providing full respecs.

When Rage went out, it went out with a large bug. If you look at the tooltip for the ability, it lists out a different buff than what is actually given out. Right now, the real damage bonus amount is 105% with the first pump alone. That was too much. As a team, we know what the “nerf bat” is, and we are very reluctant to swing it. However, what is currently active is a bug, and so we have to fix that bug. We understand that fixing it will greatly impact the way the game is played for many of our players. In order to mitigate some of the initial shock, we changed Rage in many good ways.

Strap in folks, this may get dramatic. Check out the full news story covering the changes here and check back for more Tabula Rasa news about Rage.
