Barb Rage and incapped!

[BahamutZ3RO]

Sooo... when you barb rage, you get effective hp that wears off when the rage does. Which means if you get incapped while you're raging and the rage wears off, you're probably going to die instantly. It's not very pleasant. Any chance of this being changed? <_< >_>

For some reason I just got an image of some metal spikey wire running around going RAWR!

I know it can knock you unconcious, which more or less makes sense (exhaustion and injury as the adrenaline wears off?)
But can it actually kill you instantly as well if you get low enough..? Bypassing the bleeding out phase if damaged enough?

I was... -6, I think. Then it wears off and it drops me below -10, and I die. I imagine if you're a high enough level, since barb rage gives you 2 hp per level, it could probably kill you instantly if you're level 6 or higher.

[Crimson Shuriken]

That is working as designed and according the Barbarian rage mechanic.

It is a price we barbarians should GLADLY pay for our great might.

Well, I have a level 8 barbarian and the bonus hp I get isn't -that- much. And my hp pool is insane, so yeah..
I think I ended up unconcious once or twice though, but mostly at the earlier levels.

Barb Rage gives you +2 con bonus. That means you're getting 2 extra hp per level for the duration of the rage. ...Or was it +1...

[Silverfox]

+1

Been brought up before a couple of times. And I believe the resounding answer was 'Thats how rage is supposed to work, be careful.'

If I may~ you could fight until downed and, summoning your reserves of primal strength, recover from incapacitated, temporarily!

Long enough to smite a surprised foe and down a potion, to be certain.  But not if you raged first...

That would be an amazing use of barb rage. As it stands right now, I can't see a reason to pop it unless you already know you're going to win the fight.

[Elfric]

I believe it's called... last stand, or wind fall.

Barb Rage is basically you using all your strength and might to do what ever you need to for a short period of time its like adrenaline when your on it you unbeatable but when it wears off all the pain, cuts and broken bones suddenly become real and yo go into shock really.

Bet hint i can give: Rage early, Never as a last resort

[Bad_Bud]

I rage as a last resort all the time.  If your death blow hits hard enough that you'd be below -10, it generally sets you somewhere randomly between -9 and 0 and dispels all buffs, which includes rage.  So it's possible (in fact I think it's more likely) to be incapacitated during rage and be fine.
