When Rage crashes, it causes a massive damage debuff (something like a 999% debuff), and so you will do very little damage while it is down, but can still affect enemies with the secondary effects of powers.

Yep, aware of of that so I monitor my damage buff to make sure to know when rage crashes so I don't waste end on usless attacks. The damage buff is active at the time.

Never seen zero damage before, barring an opponent being immune to either a specific type of damage (e.g. Ghost-Slaying Axe against non-ghosts) or all damage (e.g. phased Illusionists). Even with a Rage crash, my Inv/SS always does some tiny amount of damage.|

Does it happen for all opponents or a specific opponent or opponent type? I ask in case there was a potential debuff on you or your target was resistant/immune.
Does it happen in a pattern or randomly? Is it somewhere around your 7th use that it hits for zero or could it be the first one time, the twelfth the next time, etc?
Alternately, did they fix Rage so that you get a crash even when stacked? If so, you could still have Rage active (assuming a double-stack with one wearing off, causing a crash), but the crash would reduce damage. Still shouldn't reduce it to zero, but it might be a starting point. Come to think of it, they might've done this a while ago...
Well it was fighting council, freaks, and CoT, happened couple of times each mish against diffrent mobs. So I didnt see any discernable pattern in the fail.
I am pretty sure that I didn't have rage double stacked at the time. I'll check more after the servers are back up tonight and see what I figure out.
Also yes it was fairly random once it happened twice in a row, another only once the whole mish.

I've reported this over a year ago, perhaps maybe 2 years ago. It could be certain zones like RWZ but I am sure its happened on others including on an AE map too.

Played again last night. Been preoccupied with GR but ran 5 missions with Abo and didn't notice the problem happening at all. So at a loss as to what the problem was. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I noticed this last night plaing against Freaks, knocked a boss up into the air but no damage was applied. At first I thought it was just lag as sometimes there's a delay before it shows up, but no it never appeared. I monitor my damage buff all the time to avoid wasting Sheild Charge so it certainly wasn't during the crash.
