All +damgae effects are flagged "Ignores buffs and enhancements".

And there's a very good reason for this. The buffs that would otherwise modify +damage effects are +damage buffs. So hitting Rage while under the effects of Rage would give you a +152% damage buff. Hitting Rage under the +152% rage would make it +201%, then 241%, then 273%...

And that's just with ordinary perma-Rage. if you can pull off double-Rage, you'd be sitting at the Tanker damage cap in two minutes. After four minutes, a Brute would be damage-capped with zero fury. Even a pair of Empaths would snowball like this, each Fortitude increasing the size of the damage buff in the other's until the buff became overwhelming.

Power Boost's boost works on the following effects: heals, mezzes (Hold, Stun, Sleep, Immob, Fear, Confuse), defense buffs, tohit buffs, endurance drains, run and fly buffs.

Power Boost does NOT boost resistance buffs, damage buffs, accuracy buffs, recharge buffs, range, regeneration, recovery, jump, knockback, or slows.

The same applies to resistance buffs/debuffs, for the exact same reason (damage resistance would be buffed by damage buffs). During beta testing for Willpower, High Pain Tolerance wasn't marked to ignore buffs, so Willpower Brutes became much more powerful in playtesting -- Fury was buffing their resistance.
