Rage not taking blocking damage reduction into account anymore

[Dragazer]

Has anyone else noticed since the Specters of the Rails update, that rage's energy gain has been altered while blocking with a melee weapon? 

Before the update Rage would calculate energy gain before blocking damage reduction was taken into account

Meaning you would gain energy from the damage that was mitigated through blocking.

Now the energy gain from rage is calculated after the damage reduction from blocking.

This now means you can only gain energy from the damage that is not mitigated.

I looked through the patch notes and noticed this: 

• Fixed an issue with the Rage Mod triggering even when all damage was being blocked by Channeled blocking.

 

I believe this fix is what is causing issues with rage and blocking now.
