un-neccesary - undocumented - nerf

Glyph of rage, purple quality VR 7-8, pre patch: grants user 15 power for five seconds (applied 15 weapon and spell damage)

Post patch Berserker enchantment purple quality VR7-8 grants user 2 weapon damage. That's a 86.66`% nerf to the only other viable weapon damage enchantment to crushing.

This really really really wasn't needed and was EXTREMELY heavy handed.

    Yip same problem with my staff except it was a VR12 legendary glyph and now its down to 2 for 5 seconds... A bug for sure. Support staff suggested I use it as firewood and craft an other lol :/.

    Actually it is kind of a buff from what I understand. The previous "glyph of rage" from what I have found only buffs light/heavy weapon damage. It doesn't even show up on your characters screen unless you have the addon that shows hidden stats. I don't think it ever provided 15 weapon/spell damage. The stat it buffed was attack power. Even though 2 is really low I still think 2 weapon damage is better than 15 power only applied to heavy and light attacks.

    Here is a post I made about "glyph of rage" before the patch. http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/106832/glyph-of-rage-what-exactly-does-it-do

    Regardless it should have been documented.

    So why does a Legendary VR12 glyph only apply 2 for 5 seconds... I can craft a white lvl 10 glyph for the same result.

    My guess is they changed the skill from rage to berzerker and screwed up the value on it.

    Oh and pre patch the rage glyph already effected my weapon damage on my chars stat sheet. So no this isn't a buff.

    Can't be a bug.
    They waited until Tuesday to release Monday's patch because the extra time was to ensure it was perfect.

    I mean, it could have waited til the following Monday to make sure 'For Real-sies' that it was perfect, but they were going with the Tuesday patch no matter.....

    And aren't we all glad they made that decision?
    ;)
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    I'm pretty sure the 2 is a bug, but I don't think that the glyph of rage was intended to buff weapon/spell damage, espeically since there is a power stat. From what I saw it didn't, if it did for you maybe it worked differently for different people. If it did buff weapon and spell damage by 15 I don't see how anyone would ever use any other glyph ever.
