[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 4498808, member: 55816"] It isn't actually encouraging you to blow through you're dailies. A Fighter is perfectly able to blow through all of his dailies in one encounter, and will get the full benefit of every single one of them. Its up to the players self control to keep him from doing this. How is a barbarian, even with this ability, any different? He's not. He won't burn through his dailies all at once for the same reason the fighter won't. He just has a different option to use should he decide to blow through them. In fact, i believe that the barbarian has less reason, even with rage strike, to "go nova" than other classes. For a barbarian, every daily has a cool ability associated with the rage, and sometimes the damage is speacial too (fire, cold, ongoing, etc.). Using Rage strike turns these neat powers into boring, pure damage. You trade an entire future encounters worth of rage for one moment of damage You aren't going to want to do this often. Certainly you shouldn't "just because you can". Rage strike is there as an option, but its not supposed to be your first choice. Its for emergencies or just the right time, like all dailies are. If players start burning through their dailies "just because they can" its not because of bad design. EDIT: it not for wasting dailies you'd "never" use, its for using dailies you don't need that moment/day, or feel like you can spare. its a trade, and one that should be made using some amount of thought.
