The barbarian has the same option to use all their dailies in one encounter as everyone else. Sure, a rage effect can potentially last an encounter, but that's a privilege, not an entitlement. It's a privilege because other classes don't have the option of milking a daily for an entire encounter.If you use a second rage in the same encounter, it's not like you're giving up something and getting nothing in return. The old rage effect will end and the new one will take its place. While you say spending all of one's resources in a fight is sometimes called for, I say wad-shooting happens far more often than it's called for. The "compensation" provided by Rage Strike is largely unwarranted--as it's based on a misplaced notion of "have your cake and eat it too" entitlement--but making it an encounter power at least makes for a reasonable middle ground. Well, understand, I'm not really concerned with comparing 29th level powers in my early paragon-tier campaign, but even so you may still have a point. That's the part I'm willing to playtest out.</blockquote>
