Rage Normalization Formula

[TheDragoon]

Due to a lot of back and forth about the rage normalization and how it would affect people and I think a lot of people misinterpreting what it did, Tom Chilton (Kalgan) has released the rage formula here:

This is really unfortunate to read. I plugged in the numbers for my warrior and it looks like I'll be looking at a ~24% rage nerf compared to what I have currently when DPSing. I also ran the numbers for if I had a big 2-handed weapon (and the appropriate weapon talent for MSing) and the nerf was a bit less at ~20%. That's still pretty unfortunate, particularly when you note that the 41-point Arms talent only gives +25% rage. That means that, compared to now, Mortal Strike Warriors will have to go all the way down to 41 points in order to EQUAL their current rage generation (1.25*80% = 100% of current rage generation)... plus they don't even get Tactical Mastery by doing that (they'll have to put points into the Protection tree to pick that up). Thus, the people who said that MS warriors are going to have to put all of their additional points from leveling from 60 to 70 into talents yet they still don't reach the same level of effectiveness as they do, currently, are proven right. :(

Nerf, nerf, nerf goes the warriors! ;)
