Agreed. This is extremely annoying, considering our shouts cost 10 rage apiece, and our ability-based rage gains are in even multiples of 10. As a result, the last 10 rage generated is always wasted, in terms of shouting. (Speaking out of combat, of course.)
What SEEMS to be happening is thus: A Warrior uses a talented (1/2) Berserker rage, which should, for at least one full second, give the Warrior 10 rage, allowing the use of one shout, which would completely consume all available rage. However, due to the new nature of energy "prediction" by the client, the Warrior, upon using Berserker Rage, instantly loses the first point of rage from the client "predicting" the loss of rage due to natural rage decay.

Although i understand they aren't obligated to do so.
I haven't mathed it yet. But a few questions come to mind. 1st they didn't tell us exactly how they arrived at 453.3 for the constant. I'm curious what formula they use now for this. We hit for 1k, 2k, 3k etc. With a cap to how much rage we can get per x damage. How much of a difference in rage is there vs the old formula. Bearing in mind the cap also. And since TG got nerfed how much rage does a fury warrior get now vs before the TG nerf using the same new formula for both. 83%? Very curious about that last one.
This new formula effects a lot of programs and websites. Quite an impact overall.

Did they ever tell us why they chose the previous, level 70, constant? Does it matter? Not particularly. That's the value they chose for balance purposes. Not saying that it's right or wrong, but that's the value that was selected, by whatever method.
Also, note that the formula itself (algebraic functions) did not change. The only thing that changed was the value of the constant.
