its 80% damage increase iirc 
But yeah, rage rules big time despite the 10 seconds downtime once the power is over (many forget about that).
(and i think u mean recharge, not end-reds).

rage is the bestest power for a brute ever, it gives you added acc if im not mistaken, so we get perma build up and acc rolled up in one nice power!
yet they gave it a nice balance, by giving it a 'total downtime' of 10 seconds Wich in some cases happen to come in a pretty wrong moment

And you have a hefty defense debuff applied to you as well during the duration of the downtime.
yeah thats what gets me, my EA brute will always crash in the middle of a group and near kill me.
I just read Unstoppable gives a bonus to end recovery. Any good? Granted this is not what the power is used for as i understand, but would like to know how it is. Anything compared to kinetics buff?

hmm mayb if your thinking about a completely different topic it would be best to start a new thread
Sorry you'r right, i said was SS/INV just thought that would fit in the same place.
I was under the impression that either by using Hasten or by slotting Rage with about five Green Recharge Reductions, Rage can still be brought completely under the 120 duration recharge time and become truly perma. Setting it on auto will then mean that the 10 secs mezzled downtime never occurs...?
(According to Hero Builder, 5 RecReds brings Rage to about 116 secs recharge time, 4 brings it down to 118.5 secs but Rage takes about 2 secs to reactivate)
yes, it can be permalized (new word) but you will _never_ get rid of the 10 seconds penalty. Back in pre-ED, you could even let 2 rage run 20-30seconds (2 times effect) but you will always get the 10 seconds penalty.
Its in the system, for balancing out Rage vs Buildup in the other secondairy sets. For defence based tankers/brutes it can be a realy dangerous thing, so said 10% defence drop, others even claim 20-25% defence drop. And last, during the 10 seconds also any form of pbaoe taunting is supressed.

Hit LvL 23 with my SS/INV Brute, now with 3 SO EndRedx i am perma raged!
Just amazing, can do Ruthless mission with no trouble at all, something i couldn't do before because of the high miss rates. Not only Rage double my damage it does also increase accuracy!
While SS only deal smash/lethal damage... it sure pack a punch! Smashtastic
