Sorry but the best combo for a Rage-QT build is Flow, Rage, Vitality, and Quick Thinking.

As I stated below, Steel Fiber not only nerfs the damage you take, it also nerfs the energy return you get from rage. The reason Quick Thinking only returns you to 300 HP, is because your energy pool and return sucks with that load out.

Saryn has a low energy pool to begin with making QT not ideal, and then you are nerfing the energy return from Rage with Steel Fiber and no Vitality. Low HP pool means there isn't a lot there to give you Energy back and you are decreasing the rate of this return with Steel Fiber.

For an ideal Rage build you want no buff to shields or armor and a very high HP pool and Energy Pool. This gives you almost infinite energy. Throw on Quick Thinking and you get a huge HP return upon getting knocked down.

I use this on Nova and I will throw out some numbers with the Flow, Rage, Vitality, QT load out.

Flow maxed gives Nova a 450 Energy pool. Vitality maxed gets you about 1620 HP.

Rage maxed gives you 40% energy return. On 1620 HP, that is 648 energy. Leaving you room to cast molecular prime 4 times and still have a maxed energy pool upon death.

If you die, QT returns 240% of 450 which is... 1080 HP upon revival. Almost back to full.

For this synergy to work properly, your Energy and HP pool must be huge and your HP pool must be about 2X as big as the Energy Pool because of the different rates of return.

Now you could make a case for using this with a low HP pool, rage, and QT if you are advising to simply not cast anything so that you don't loose all your HP return upon death, but that doesn't seem too viable to me.
