Wait, so rage now only lasts for the turn you use it on? If so, yeah, that's brutal, especially with 2 AP. So you basically guarantee one attack gets a crit (ideally a whirlwind), maybe two or three if you flesh sac and haste and warlord/glass cannon.
Okay yeah, if that is the case, then Rage is not really worth it. I really should play the alpha. *sigh* Had too much stuff to do this week.
