Direct damage Bleed procs don't work with crits

First, I know that the Berserk Ripping aspect is not active right now. But, I have been testing bleed effects that are based on direct hit damage, meaning specifically the 2h Sword Expertise. The passive states that 20% of direct damage is inflicted as bleed damage. What I noticed however is that this does not trigger properly of crit hits. Whether you hit normally or crit, the bleed effect is always the same.

This really sucks. I was hoping on making a HotA bleed barb, with that passive and Berserk ripping aspect, and the Gushing Wounds key passive. In the hopes that crit would be considered twice.

If my base dmg is 100, and I crit for 400, and then proc a 80% bleed of of that, that should be a dot of 320 dmg per 5 sec, and then the dot should have another chance to crit for another 400%.

To put it simply in another way, if I have a passive that deals 20% dmg of direct damage as bleed, then if I hit for 100, then the bleed should be 20dmg per 5 sec, If I crit for 300 then the bleed should be 60dmg per 5 serc, not 20.

This would be a cool mechanic and I’m really disappointed it doesn’t work properly.

It was told, bleedin’ doesnt crit… aint a mistake or working not as intended??

He’s saying that, normally, if you hit an enemy for 100 damage, 20% of that would be applied as a bleed or 20 over 5. If you crit for double, 200, then 20% of that should be 40 I guess.

This should work with the central passive on the right side tho no?
But ye the other stuff you mentioned seems bugged^^

Normally yes, like when you hit with rend, which has a set high value of bleed. But what i’m talking about is hitting with HotA, and having a passive that gives 20% of direct damage as bleed. That passive doesn’t properly trigger on crits. If I hit normally for 100 then the bleed from that should be 20dmg per 5 secs, if I crit for 300, then the bleed from that should be 60 dmg per 5 secs, right?

Pretty sure that is working as intended. All bleed effects will only apply a % of the base damage unless you have the Gushing Wounds bleeds can crit key.

There are several reasons why figuring out a good Barbarian build is ridiculously complicated. This is one of them.
