The wild bear bloodline ascendancy node question

Change was made to this node to not give adrenaline but to give wild savagery buff. I would like to know if this buff only refresh when you run out of it like adrenaline does? (Adrenaline states that you cannot gain adrenaline if you already have it)

my best guess is it works identically.

you cant get wild savagery while you have it.

but that leads me to feel that the way this sort of buff feels inconsistent.


the way the node is currently worded implies that at max rage you lose all rage and get the buff.

with additional text saying if you already have the buff, you cant gain the buff.

so that would mean there could be an overlap where you reach max rage. lose all rage. but if you already have the buff, the buff wouldnt refresh (since you cant gain the buff).

this results in losing all rage for nothing.

to fix this, the passive should be reworded so that in front of the text it should read "While you do not have Wild Savagery buff...." followed by the rest.

this way prevents you from losing rage for nothing and actually makes you stronger as you can have max rage while having the buff

You will want to balance your rage generation to just under 10/second. Then you have a near 100% uptime on Savagery and an average of 50% your maximum rage. I'm sure you could tweak it so that you generate rage faster early on and then slow down towards the back end. It's not a mechanic I'm very familiar with though.
