Rage vs. Channel Karma

Most of the Maple community seems to be getting Channel Karma instead of Rage.
But, I wanted to tell you guys that Rage is better than Channel Karma,
Why?

Although they have same +30 Attack,

Channel Karma:
Max Level 20: Duration of 180, +30 Attack.

Rage:
Max Level 20: Duration of 155, +30 Attack.

Channel Karma is non-party skill, and takes longer to cast than Rage, (Delays)

[i]Let them choose whatever skill they want[/i]
-_-
Because Rage is a party skill, everytime I use it, other Phantoms yells at me for constantly canceling out their Channel Karma; claming that it's better than rage.. >_>
I have no problem with other Phantoms choosing Channel Karma over Rage, but just don't yell at other Phantoms using Rage(Me) for canceling out the same effect skill..
Thanks,
/Endrant

Karma for now. Once Rage stacks with other attack buffs/pots, I'll switch to that. But in the mean time, Karma it is.

Sure... let's give a party more things to bark at us to give them.
Seriously I prefer Karma.. less stuff I'm going to be nagged to give the other party members.

I use karma because I never need a party. Just don't see the point.

It's funny walking into FM as a Hero, to see about 3-4 Phantoms looking for rage/Combo attack

Well we all know phantoms are the most selfish class in the game anyways -_-

And for the record, I used rage getting that terrible class to 70. My parties loved me.

Get both and switch depending if you're in a party or not

I don't know anyone who uses Channel Karma. Rage is clearly superior in party play.

My Phantom is using karma instead of rage only because I'm too lazy to drag my hero out of the zak pq exit area (I need her to stay there if I want to be leeching her).

Extra Mp consumption doesnt matter when you have a jr boogie familiar

Rage stacks with most non-2nd job attack buffs, so does karma. They both stack with the same things. Same 30 attack, and there's pretty much nothing it cancels that gives more attack. Except gelts, apples, and witch pots. And if you're on them then you'd be using neither rage nor karma.

Most of the time, there will always be a rope or ladder somewhere where you can buff on to reduce the delay between each buff. Not only does Karma last longer but it looks more aesthetically appealing in my personal opinion.

Generally, I will alternate between Rage and Karma depending on the situation.

Rage stacks with almost everything. This is 2012. They changed this skill a long time ago.
