RageArmor is a reactive armor flare that grants an attack-strength bonus when its wearer takes damage from a creature. The original implementation was released as a subscript in 2021 and updated to a Combat Flourish version introduced in August 2024. Existing items using the original script may be converted to the Combat Flourish through FLOURISH CONVERT.

Mechanics

Original Release

The original RageArmor script for armor has a flare that increases AS for 15 seconds equal to the damage taken.

Combat Flourish

The updated RageArmor Combat Flourish was introduced in August 2024 and is able to be applied to existing torso armor. It grants an AS (and UAF) bonus equal to damage taken from any creature’s strike/cast/maneuver. This damage bonus stacks (capped at 50) and has a duration of 30 seconds.

For example, bonuses of 20, 15, and 10 provide a total bonus of 45. Bonuses of 30, 25, and 10 are capped at 50. A single 60-point bonus remains 60 rather than being reduced to 50.

The Flourish appears as Rage Armor in SPELL ACTIVE with a maximum displayed duration of 30 seconds.
