How much Barber Heart impacts Damage Poison Build Rogue (and dot based builds)

General Discussion PC

I know many know this just from feeling it during group play. But I made some more tangible evidence in the form of a short video in as controlled environment as I could.

Methodology: Using Uber Lilith as the demostration as it’s the only high HP target currently.

Grouped with a Druid I had them equip Level 1 starting weapons and only use the claw basic skill to avoid hitting blood boils.

I used the time up to the end of the stagger window as a baseline measurement. Took into consideration the time, health and uptimes. I tried my best to keep conditions the same in both cases.

Please consider upvoting the reddit post in hopes it reaches more rogue enjoyers and bleed builds out there. People are downvoting it for some reason

Thanks for your time!

Yup, tested this like week ago moment I got barber heart, hence I prefer alchemist, it’s way more fun anyway. Btw due to complexity (depending on overall outgoing CC potency while being completely decoupled from damage) I am not sure stagger bar is good replacement for stopwatch there.

Anyway, it completely ruined my pen shot build for time being. It is definitely usable for many builds but it is not by any means silver bullet as some ppl are trying to pass it as.
