Topic: [385807] Balance rage banners and chests?

So I was just setting up an attack on the Khan camp in the current nomads event, and I stopped to look at the stats of the rage banner and plunderers' chest instead of just filling up with the chests as I usually do automatically on the theory "tablets plus rage = better than just rage" ... but I didn't know consciously any other reason WHY I don't tend to use the rage banners very much.  Here's the results:


In other words, the rage banner, a tool supposedly SPECIALIZED to give you rage bonuses, doesn't actually give you any more rage than a tool whose purpose is split between rage and tablets.  IMHO, this doesn't make terribly much sense, and I'd like to offer a suggestion to bump the rage banner up ... maybe +3%? to make it more equivalently useful

The plunder's chest is a more expensive and better version of the rage banner.

Rage banner:          +1% rage each
Plunderer's chest:   +1% rage each, +1% khan tablets each

The best way to acquire rage is simply to hit it as many times as you can to get the required rage to enable you to taunt the khan. Once you have taunted the khan, hit it again around 10 more times. Taunt the khan again. Make sure you have at least 2-3 incomings and then you can get the rage points needed to trigger yet another khan incoming.
