A few weeks ago I was dueling a friend. I went to apply Stasis on him and 5-7 secpmds or so later he was free. Upon him being free, he had a "RAGE" state under his HAM bar. Um.....ok.... I thought to myself. Then I look at the description of "RAGE" and it is a counter to simple states......so stasis is a simple state??? This has happened to me since thenmore times then not and its really annoying as it just started happening one day without any warning "at least to my knowledge".
Why is this happening thus leading the Master Enhancer Statis ability almost useless??????????? I have to know!

It's to stop constant spamming of mezzes. If the rage state wasn't there you could reapply stasis almost constantly.

Well, as a MEnhancer. I'm fine with it.
Calm down and start finding a way to make use of the skill. It's not useless.
Let me explain how the RAGE state works for you.
1. A dizzied (mezzed)player gets aRAGE state as soon as the dizzy breaks.
2. RAGE state lasts about 20 secs.
3. It prevents Dizzy state to stick while it's on.
You got the idea?

Work on your tactics. If it was a 1 vs 1 duel, you have no reason to get him out of Stasis for 40 seconds after you put him in Stasis. If he was free after 5-7 secs, you attacked him. Next time, put him in Stasis, sit down and meditate for 30 seconds, then open up with tactics (Armor Break / KD / Powerhit and such).

You prob hit stasis once or twice, you know it does go over again after the timer stops if you hit it more thne once...

Just nevermind gang, my point isnt being reached i guess.
I think you are confused a little. "Rage" isn't something that a player can put up, it's not a skill people have.
"Rage" comes as the result of being Mezzed and such. The Mezz also needs to land for it to come. So basically what happens is you can Stasis somebody fine the first time. Then after that stasis wears off or you break it with an attack, the person now has "Rage." For 30 seconds, they are now immune to Mezzes and such.
It's actually a good system, because being locked out of combat over and over again sucks.

Straker speaks the truth, this change didn't just impact M.Enhancers. This was designed to prevent people from chaining startle shot/disarm shot. Before they implemented the rage/anger state you were pretty much dead if you ran across a BH with startle and disarm shot. All they had to do was KD, then alternate startle and disarming shot and you would be pinned to the ground as mezzes prevent kd recovery. Actually, with my riflemanusing a fast rifle and a speed buff I could pin targets to the ground with just startle shot, no need to even have disarming shot as well. And keep in mind, startle shot does nearly as much damage as headhsot along with it's mez.
So all in all, the change was a good move on the dev's part. They recognized an unbalancinggame feature and fixed it before it was abused too heavily.
