Great list. Thanks!!!!

All I can speak of this is from my own design and I do enjoy the benefits of Rage espicially the length of it. I accept the possibility of toggle drop if I get hit by enough mezes. Just part of the game.

I rely on Resist Physical Damage to get me thru the wave of hits after the toggles go down. I currently have it five slotted. The very second the the daze is gone I use hand clap to knock away all the villians and to give myself a chance to pull up toggles. I only have hand clap one slotted with accuracy and I usually clear the board save one maybe two. The I pop the toggles starting with Unyielding. And go down the line. Then hit Dull Pain to heal a bit. This works well for me and I have only bit dirt once since I3. It is stressful but thats what makes a game fun.

The problem with my plan is that the Hand Clap and Dull Pain become panic buttons. Don't like the idea of having two good powers as only panic but that is a fair trade for the Rage benefits.

I would suggest that if you are too change to make it for the casual then hit it with a higher endurance cost or perhaps a small defense debuff (puts on 'flame' suit). Or just lower the high benefit and knock off the mez.

My two cents.

Here's something that happened yesterday to me. I offered to take a beginning tank (lvl 3) with me on a miss. No, it was not powerlevel and I asked them. I do it because I love watching new people play and I want to promote my fellow tanks. Anyway, I sidekicke the toon and tell him to fight as well - which he did. What I don't tell them is at the end of the miss I give away all the enhancements I pick up - usually several DOs and a few SOs. This person fought and then left as soon as it said miss accomplished stating he was off to play with his SG. I told him 'no prob, have fun'. So lets see, he missed out on something like 30K worth of influence just to speed it along. Who wouldn't have loved that at 3rd?!?!? Shame shame.

My advice to new players...go slow, enjoy the view, and when a high lvl toon offers to take you for a ride, go for the whole ride!!
