SD/SS oddness

My SD/SS tank is currently lvl 34 and I've noticed a few things that have been, well at least to me, odd. I don't have screen shots of this stuff yet. I'll grab some when I can and post them.

First of all, I'm not seeing the damage done by shield charge in the combat logs. The logs show that I'm activating it, but nothing about any of the damage. Which is one of the first things I thought was odd.

The reason I was even looking at the combat logs has to do with Rage. I'm currently set so that I've got perma rage going. The overlap is just a couple of seconds, but it's enough. After having activated the second rage, when the first rage times out my damage boost is floored. No endurance loss, but definitely a huge -dmg effect. Now my understanding from what I've read here is that I shouldn't be seeing this -dmg effect while the second rage has been toggled. Correct me if this is working as intended.

Finally (and I need to get screen shots of this next time I level) the recharge numbers on rage keep shifting on me after I lvl up. I've got 3 recharge SO's in Rage currently. None of them had gone red after I leveled last time, but according to the in game power details the Rage recharge had dropped from 2m1s to 2m5s. I thought it was odd that it changed considering none of the SO's went red. Should the recharge be changing like that?

Thanks for your time.

Rage is working as intended. You get a massive -dam penalty even if they overlap. What you will not see is the -def penalty, that is negated when you have a second Rage running.

SO's decrease effectiveness depending on color, signifying the number of levels plus or minus from your level. If it was green and is now white you will see a decrease. Same goes for White to Yellow. Red means it is no longer offering any benefit to you.

My Shield/SS is still to low to comment on your first question.

It may have something to do with the fact that shield charge (as I understand it) is a pseudo-pet, so you're not actually doing the damage, the pet is. I may be wrong on that...either way, it would be nice if it showed up in the logs.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that effect before, mainly because I'd never really been looking for it.
