My take on the ragers is this... Most of their powers have equivalents in the game. This is true of resist and truesight. These are just convenient. Spellbane is nice, but one can make alot of spells just as useless with a heap of save vs spell. There isn't really any equivalent to deathblow, but a pair of blademasters gloves, a humansunder or a heartseeker CAN do similar things. Exploiting racial vulns is another way to balance that. One of the things that I find appealing about ragers is they give you all of these things that are in the game (but a pain to get) 100% of the time. The cabal is basically a way to get game knowledge powers without possessing game knowledge or spending time collecting those rare things. Do I like to play them? Yes. I've got better things to do than go around collecting potions, roots and other items to make it an even fight. Do I play them? No. There are too many of those buggers.
