I know people would say to you that Furious Finish is not good, but do consider it if you are going to get Impact transformative weapon. You can have a large Bastard Sword with no penalty, deal 3d8 damage. When you use Enlarge person, it's 4d8. With Greater Vital Strike, it's 16d8, 128 damage from weapon alone. No risk of rolling below 4 for your dice. If you are going Mythic, you can end almost anything in one hit. So I find it not bad.

Keep in mind at level 16 when you're talking about that, you can have a nodachi which deals 1d10+10str+5 for two-handing with strength+15 power attack. This doesn't include other bonuses which get effectively multiplied due to multiple attacks.

You're looking at 35.5 points of damage per hit off of the weapon, strength, and power attack. Not accounting for likelihood to hit, if all 4 attacks hit (and probably 5 since a bloodrager can haste himself) it would deal 142 points of damage (177.5 if all 5 hit). For practically no investment. Furious Finish will end your rage mid combat (or else you only use it at the end of combat) and takes 4 feats to make it do what it does (Vital Strike, Improved, Greater, and Furious Finish). While it looks and sounds cool, it's actually still worse than just making a full attack most of the time.

*Please note that the likelihood of all attacks hitting is low, but everything but the last iterative attack is pretty likely to hit. So the average damage per round of full attack may not actually be greater than that of the Furious Finish Attack, but since it forces you to end your rage and causes fatigue even if you wouldn't normally be, it really is just a terrible trick.

Oh, sorry. I keep forget not all characters are build to immune to fatigue.

Furious Finish Fatigues you anyway, whether you're immune or not.

If you do, your rage immediately ends, and you are fatigued (even if you would not normally be).
