Any reason to believe there will ever be a viable non bleed 2h sword build ?
I’d love to play a 2h sword barb build thar doesn’t force you into bleed builds. I understand the options are limited due to how the barb class and arsenal system was designed. WW doesn’t quite count either. Or maybe this niche won’t be filled in D4 until another new class is introduced.
Barbs are Casters now.
Yeah 
even bleed is better with dual wield.
I can’t think of a single build that uses a 2h sword or 2h axe for its main weapon.
All skills that can use a 2h mace use that, all others seem better dual wield, and the odd build uses a polearm.
I love playing bleed with a 2h axe or sword but dual wield is way to powerful to even attempt it
Yeah… I’ve been looking for 2h axe build and it looks like there isn’t a single one. They need to do something about barb weapons. They could at least let us turn 2h polearm into 2h axe for example, just tmog. And other combos too.
And btw, is there even a viable bleed build now?
I’m trying to make a viable bleed build out of Rend. Completed pit 80… that’s viable… kinda lol
If I can do pit 90 I’d call that a win IMO
I ran a Rend/Rapture build in S7, got me to mid T3 before it got a bit slow, then I decided to put on the earthquake aspects, glyph and the rune but kept all the other Rend/Rapture stuff as is and that got me very easily to Pit 75 and that was all I needed to finish out the battle pass and called it quits.
This was the worst season to-date yet. There is no future for this game 
The Barbarian is obsolete. They just added the new Earthquake, which isn’t free from anti-synergies, like depriving us of invaluable Tyrael or Shaco. I tried leveling Whirlwind to 20, multiplying and scaling the damage. Even then, nothing. I gave up and accepted that a single instant tick of Earthquake is better than channeling an outdated and nerfed main ability for 15 seconds. So now, I just run around the map without pressing buttons, and it works.
Yeah I watched the video yesterday. Nice build, but I’ll try to skip flay if possible.
Fixed it for ya. I too have given up and accepted earthquake.
2H Slash weapons needs a passive on the power level of Wallop to ever really be used as a “main weapon.” Wallop is basically the main reason why every time we have to end up building around 2H Maces.
All of the Multiplicative Buckets really leave you with little options to choose from. It isn’t a matter of this or that. It is a matter of this or a bad build and hitting like a wet noodle.
D4 has the illusion of choice. Honestly, I would much prefer multiplicative sources to be WAY more rare. Your triune buckets or Crit, Overpower, and Vulnerable should have more variety - not take all 3. Building one or the other, 2 of 3, or all 3 should all be viable and diffierent builds lean towards. Gushing Wounds requiring Crit Chance, Crit Damage, and Overpower is one of the LEAST exciting things done to Bleed. Bleed should be almost exclusively focused on Vulnerability.
