AP's can use something called wands (no reason you should ever fight a rager without them). If you don't know where they are, ask around for them. Zap yourself with three of them and eat a blowfish and that damage he did will be more than half (enough time to run if he is kicking your ass).
Forget about casting dumb shit like blind. Truesight and he can see again. If you must cast on a rager, which is dumb in most cases, use plague. Weaken his ass and keep him from healing. You can flee, run and heal yourself. Come back and he would be out of moves and losing mana for resisting and spellbane.
It isn't like rager is anything special from 90% of them. You know he is a rager so you know he is going to bloodthirst when you attack him. Use that to your advantage. Have some pre-summoned mobs scattered in stragtic points of cities. Summon him, let him think he is kicking your ass, flee and let him walk into the mob. Then bash the shit out of him. All types of ways to kill him.
