Battering Assult and Deadly Saber, do you stop it mid stream????

[Crawfishies]

I'm out of town and currently can't verify it.

 

but when I was playing,

I sometimes won't let the animation finish through but still get the effect.

 

I charge in, hit deadly saber while i'm in the air, and then

hit the battering assault, and then immediately hit my (either rupture or Ravage)

without letting the battering assault animation finish.

 

I'm pretty sure I get the full rage,

but not sure if I get the damage from the battering assault.

 

Has anyone tried this?
