Thundering rage

From the NS4 wikki

Specifics: Any weapon the Barbarian wields while in a rage does an additional 2d6 points of damage on a critical hit. There is a 25% chance for a creature hit by one of the barbarian’s weapons to be Deafened for 3 rounds.

Use: Automatic while in Rage.

Thundering rage's massive critical property will not stack with overwhelming critical. Any weapon that has the property of massive critical will override any bonus you get from thundering rage's massive critical property.

From change log

Thundering Rage: DC raised to 26 and now the enchantment is provided to weapons wielded in the offhand as well. As well, enchantment now grants a bonus 1D4 Sonic damage to the weapons wielded at the beginning of the Rage. (Caveat, the bonus damage seems to dissapear prematurely before the rage ends. We're working on the issue.)

So does it now stack with massive crit or how exactly does that work?
IE: you still get the +1d4 sonic but you loose the massive crit property because its cancelled out by the weapon.

The dc being 25 seems a bit useless, considering its an epic feat and unless you plan on going around and deffening lowbies i dont think it will account for much.

So correct me if i am wrong but this feat is good for an addition 1d4 sonic damage and that is about it right?

So it is the equivelent to the weapon specilization feat a fighter gets at lvl 6. Does this feat count as a weapon enchantment, IE can you still use darkfire since this dirctly effects weapon damage?

Just trying to get the info before i take it. have had mighty rage for some time now.

Oh and on a side note, Mighty Rage must be used before your other rage abilities or it will not work. Just wanted to save people the headache on that one. took me alittle bit to figure that out.

The rage issues are giving us a real hard time the bioware code is nothing short of terrible, the dc 26 is best allowed at the moment. The oddity of the sonic ending has caused a lot of grief as well. My last time to check on things at all, though I haven't been around much I will be gone tomorrow for a while w/o access to the forums or anything.

The sonic (should) stack with darkfire

The issue of order of using rages (should) be fine now, use them in any order.

I put some time into it but Sparky and Shield have dedicated huge amounts of time to making the abilities work as they should.

Best I can say is we are really trying to make it work, barbs are my favorite after rangers of course

cool cool, thanks for the rapid response.

will take the feat next chance i get and post my findings if i come up with anything strange or intresting.

kinda hard to do the testing on the rages, last time i tryed everything on the character sheet was wrong hehe.

a bit like trying to record shifter data to tweak a build on a cbc.

anywho thanks again for all the hard work guys, i too like playing a giant idiot who runs around and whacks things. nothing better in life if you ask me.

I too want to thank the Devs on this amazing job. I didn't know barbarians could be such a headache.

On the other hand I want to point out that playing a small ghostwise whacker is even more fun than a huge halfie

Absolutely thanks - barbs are a lot of fun to play, and the tweak is much appreciated - can't wait to bring up a new one ^,..,^
