All fine and dandy, but everybody forget about the super long ramp-up. Around 15sec of constant fighting to get max rage from 0. That is way to long. To get 20 blitz charges with the ramping -200% crit chance it will also take some time (and they last only 5sec, thats like nothing).

It will be way to slow for our gameplay (or it promote speed meta way to much, to lower the wait between packs as much as possible).

Rage should be generated at lest 2 times faster than they plan it now.
The blitz charge effects should be squished into 10 charges instead of 20 and the duration increased to standard 10 sec.

You will see how annoying those mechanics will be in game if you wont spec into super rapid moving rocketmen to not lose all those bonuses between packs/bosses.

I should also point out that there is a missing reminder text on the Blitz node that wasn't finished in time to be captured here, stating that Blitz charges have a base duration of 5 seconds (as opposed to 10, which is the standard base charge duration).

Right, the rage will be suistanable at high values after the initial ramp up.
Though the pigeonhole will be at the 20 blitz charges, since they require heavy investment into crit chance (really heavy, since they give +130% crit chance, but reduce on end -200%) and last only 5sec, after that they will all expire unlike rage.

5% life regen sems not to much, though people also forget that most of them will run with bloodrage with degen another few % (with can be mitigated on the other hand), but if you add those two degens up it starts to be bit much.

You can either do what most probably will do, so just counter it with heavy life leech during combat.
Outside of combat you can invest in some x% hp regen nodes on tree, usualy one of those nodes gives like 0,5% to 1% regen, so you need to waste like 7-8 skill points (+points to get to them) in order to counter the rage mechanics completly.

If you heavly spec into life regen you can even go up to like 50% life regen per sec (not kidding) though it require endurace charges, and there is no good way(non-annoying way) to do it in this ascendency, you just need to spam endurance cry.

Personaly I dont know if I would go for the "triple rage effect" or it is better to go for the "40% more dmg" node. 40% more dmg scale everything up, so I think in totall it will give way more bonuses than the "triple rage effect" and it wont have the degen downside. More damage taken can be countered, since it is mitigated by your defences.
