Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

One way I always used to give myself a bit more rage while tanking was to hit the lil snakes/rats in between pulls.

Last night I noticed a bug of never gaining any rage for striking these lil guys.

The critters on this server most likely do not have enough HP for you to reach the threshold amount of damage to give even 1 rage. The question is whether overkill damage should give rage or not. Over healing already does not give threat so it would stand to reason that rage generation would be a similar mechanic. On a side note, the critters might also not have the correct amount of HP so I could see you getting 1 rage at the most but 3 to 6 rage would be ridiculous.

From Vanilla through Wrath, critters always gave me rage in dungeons. Getting that white crit on the way to the next set of mobs was great to help threat generation and was always a little game mechanic that I used. Seems to be a bug to me if it gives no rage here and it was fine on retail back in the day.

It's a bug, albeit a pretty low priority one. Critters should give rage and they did help when tanking to keep rage up.

Overkill damage always gave rage.

In retail I had a warrior twink, I used to stand at the farm in AB with a full rage bar from killing rats and just wreck people when they came near the flag.

Yeah Armilus that was another big thing i did too on my warriors i played back in the day. This is obviously not a huge bug, but it seems obvious and simple enough of a determination that this is a missing feature which was present in vanilla back in the day. So i hope it's fixed

similarly for Reck Bomb Paladins, we cannot get critters or low level mobs to crit us if we tag them with judgement of light, wisdom, justice to gain agro but do no damage and then use our /sit macro to gain reck charges
