Primal Hunger Interaction

Unsure if this is a bug or intended interaction, but seems undesirable.

Primal Hunger blocks all benefits to Rage from any other source, such as Bestial Rage and Vengeful Fury. So the node that increases max rage...blocks all benefits that scale with max rage. It says inherent bonuses, which I took to mean the Attack% per rage that is base rage, but it also blocks any other bonuses from rage. As such, I assume this is a possible bug or overlook design wise.

I was quite a bit bummed out that Primal Hunger disabled Rage in a way that's not clear.

Because I was hoping to gain more armour with Vengeful Fury + Primal Hunger while giving up the % Damage increase. I thought the trade off was fair. I gain bulkiness and lose damage. But I lost both. Feels bad.

Agreed. Primal hunger should only disable the more damage multiplier from rage, other specific rage benefits from other notables should not be effected

I just found this out the hard way. It feels like it's a bug and not intentional.
