Bleed builds require rebalance

Barbarian

  1. Rupture:
    A) Never crits
    B) Aspect of Encroaching Wrath doesn’t work on rupture and i believe not even single DMG modifier works on Rupture damage, it’s just removes bleeds from target and deals equial damage ingoring all DMG modificators you have.
    C) Does not provide DPS gain for build. Yes it have very smal bleed from Enchanced Rupture(number is fixed and not modified by anything) and some attack speed from Warrior’s Rupture, but you have to waste time on animation to remove all bleed from target (which would have been dealt naturaly anyways) with no beneifts, while i could land 3 rends and have more DPS in overal instead of wasting time on rupture animation.
    D) Field of Crimson cool weapon with wasted potential. It still have some smal synergy with Harrogath, but it’s not enough to incentivise ppl to use it.
    E) Locked on using 2h slash weapons, can’t use either 2h Mace or even dualwield slashign weapons.

  2. Rend
    A) Base lucky hit chance is too small, makes no sense almost 20% less than Hammer of Ancient? Really?
    B) Single target DPS not even close to even WW(which itself is medicore at best) and Hammer of Ancient surpass it by a mile. You force to build rend around Gushing Wounds(and its coold concept on papper) but you have to gave up on broken Unbridle Rage which makes other rage spenders way more powerful than bleeds ever can be.
    C) AOE is ridiculously low.
    D) Locked on using 2h slash weapons, can’t use either 2h Mace or dualwielded slashign weapons.

  3. Two-Hande Sword Experize
    A) Doesn’t scale of damage that was dealt, scales of base weapon damage which makes it add near to zero DPS.
    B) Doesn’t proc related lucky hit effects like Rage of Harrogath unique effect.

  4. Aspect of Berserk Ripping
    A) Doesn’t scale of damage that was dealt, scales of base weapon damage which makes it add near to zero DPS.
    B) Doesn’t proc related lucky hit effects like Rage of Harrogath unique effect.

I love the concept around bleed builds and i like gameplay that it provides, but it’s so damn inefficient and broken at the moment that makes me depressed. It’s so damn stupid that brainless WW deals almost 3x time more single target DPS on Lilith while clearing dungeons 5x time faster than any bleed build can. And Hammer of Ancient builds deals like x10 times more DPS than Rend.

Plz adress at least listed issues and make this build viable, thx.
