Thanks for bringing this issue to the spotlight again. This issue has been reported here in the past (probably multiple times) yet it has never been fixed. This seems a really simple fix, because judging Vader's Focused Rage ability by the timer, we can see it's similar to many other abilities, which have cards that replenish active time with a kill, and don't have this BUG. Bossk's Predatory Instincts is one such ability, that has a card which replenishes active time and doesn't bug like Fueling the Rage Star Card.
But if I may, allow me to consider something for your report: The kill with the card does replenish time, but it forces the ability to enter cooldown so long the given time for the kill makes the total remaining time equal or surpass the max time (or total time). Try letting the skill drain the remaining time until half the total time, and then get a kill. You'll see Vader's focused rage remaining time will increase as intended. But if you reach or surpasses the total time with a kill, the ability's cooldown will trigger.
Please, forward this with a strong weight, a strong value for importance, upper in the priority list. It can't be a hard fix, and hurts Vader to the point this would be a card everyone would be using in GA if it wasn't for this BUG. I'm sure your telemetry will show how much less used this card is in GA then Bossk's one that replenishes his Predatory Instincts active time. If not for all players, at least for the most active players (it's common for people to use cards they either don't know what they do, or they don't care if it's working or not). This BUG has been in the game forever and really must go with haste.
I understand complicated BUGs like the Corpse Attacking BUG, or the Disabled Block BUG, despite being very old too, need more resources to fix. But this one can't be hard, for there are many similar effects that do work as intended. Restoring active time of skills which have a duration is a very common effect for Star Cards, both on Heroes and on Troopers.
Hello @Spoonyteaspoon and thanks for bringing this up!
I've seen similar reports in the past, but it is indeed an issue that needs a fix. It really influences playing as Darth Vader.
It always surprises me how many issues there still are with all the star cards. I which they could go through them one by one and test them out because this issue doesn't seem hard to find (and is reproducible in arcade).
Anytime @RogueZeroRendar and @DYSPROssium. Like you guys said, this really does hinder playing as Vader and it does hurt him a bit. Hopefully Ataashi sees this so he can let the team know about it and I hope it gets patched around March for the new game mode.
