I now understand why bleed flay barb is broken

so the more flay duration you have the higher your bleed can stack

so usually the exploit happens at around 25+ duration

with the rupture affix on a 2h you can rupture every 12secs this is important
this will add a new bleed stack for flay while the old one is burning down in the background

if your under 25sec duration for flay your bleed will cap out at around 300m-450m per tick but after 25secs duration and perfectly timed ruptures you can get the bleed to pass 1billion per tick you will also need about 70+ crit chance for the bleed to continually stack up

my only guess is at some point the flay refreshes muti stacks of bleeding flay at some point

first flay stack is at 150mil for 25sec
stack another 150mil after the first rupture
so now you have 2 stacks and
1 stack is at 150m for 1sec
2 stack is at 150m for 13sec
3 stack is at 150m for 25sec
that’s how you see 450m bleeds ticks

the higher your duration the more stacks you can have

so 12+25 is 38 so now each flay bleed can stack up to 38secs and now you have 4 flay bleeds on one target

but it has to be 12 because of rupture! and how the affix works on 2h! rupture lets you add another flay stack without it you only have one flay stack
not sure if this was intended

and if you perfectly time this the stack keeps going up making your bleed hit for billions

and i really don’t think you need as much attack speed as you do crit chance

with how Mastercraft works you can get this duration pretty high if you have the gold and mats and luck!

and pretty much only need Flay duration max when you temper

but dang 38 sec flay is insane dps

With rage of harrogath you can get your rupture to trigger way more that twice in that 25 seconds. My rupture has about a 9 second cool down and the 5 basic skills aspect that takes 2 seconds off cool downs it often resets after about 5 seconds I don’t even use rage of harrogath.

I don’t play flay build though but it does seem like it takes a lot of min maxing to get it to work.

I’d rather it be dead now, not 38 seconds later

nah you need the legendary power that doesn’t consume the bleeds the 12sec one on 2h

Yea nevermind I wasn’t thinking. Yea that one can only proc so often.

FO Sorc here. At this point, I’d be happy with 38 MINUTES later. Can I get that buff?

with a 38sec flay you can have up to 4 stacks of different flays going on and you can use rupture to consume all 4 stack for over 100billion damage in one hit
