DDR and Rage Crash

Does DDR work for the rage crash?

What is DDR? Defense debuff resistence? Just monitor the number(s) and see.

I know defense is slightly affected by rage crashing. Not sure about the debuff resistence.

Rage defense debuff is unresisted and will take 25% from you unless you stack rage, then you'll avoid the defense bit of the crash.

20%. But otherwise correct.

DDR is Defense Debuff Resistance.

If I was at home and could log in, I would check myself...since I'm not at home, I cannot check myself...hence me asking the question on here.

in all honesty, the defense debuff from the rage crash is minimal enough you shouldnt have to worry about it a whole lot, the thing you need to worry about is the -dmg component of rage. in game the power info says it does -9999% dmg, but of course there is a dmg bonus minimum and it just puts it there for a whole 10 sec or so.

That's just crazy talk.
Losing 20% of Defense on a /SR or /Shield is not minimal.

on a defense based toon i could see it as a possible issue, but on resist based sets its moot. and its not like its a long effect either, its only like 5 sec or so, easiest thing is to try to time the crash between mobs

I know that the Rage crash is not really an issue with resist based sets. That's why I was asking about DDR and the Rage crash.
The crash is 10 secs long.

I got that the first time.
What's your point?

The point is, that the OP received the answer to their question, then posted again, seeming to not know the answer. So, to clear things up:

-When Rage crashes, you get a -20% defense(all) debuff for 10 seconds.
-Defense Debuff Resistance will not negate the -def.
-Recasting Rage before it crashes will prevent the defense portion of the crash.
-Recasting Rage during the crash will negate any remaining -def.
-The -damage and endurance drain portions of the crash can not be negated in any way.
-The crash is relevant to resist-based characters. Enemies have a base 50% chance to hit when you have no defense. During the Rage crash, they have a 70% chance to hit.

Yeah sorry, I always get the end crash and -def mixed up.
