Here’s y’all a new unique idea for Rend
New Unique: Crimpson Tempest - Unique Sword
Prefix: Damage
+40-80 Strength
+8-16% Attack Speed
+22.5 - 31.5% Chance for Rend to Hit Twice
+2-4 Ranks to Rend
When using Rend, you create a crimson tempest that deals 80-120% of rend’s total damage over 3 seconds
Upvote this so it becomes a thing. Thank you.
Before they added the 5 paragon board limit I was experimenting with adding the ring of ravenous into a WW build to boost damage with the free rend it gives. But yeah adding more niche items to open up builds as well as removing the paragon board limit would be huge.
Yeah I just think some of the struggling builds need some love. Clearly spiritborn needs nerfed pretty hard and underperforming builds need a buff. Then we will have a relatively balanced game.
So you lose Rend Size and Rend Double Damage for…maybe more than Rend Damage?
If Rend is going to be decent it needs to have a function that is more than just a straight Bleed applicator. Rend Size at 100% should be BASE Rend Size, there should not be that Temper at all.
If you wanted a good Unique, casting Rend would have a Lucky Hit Chance to deal the Total Bleed Damage without removing the Bleed, so basically dual function Rend and Rupture all in one click of Rend. Skullbreaker/Anemia would be pretty good with Rend as you are not having to run Rupture to convert Bleed to DD.
Yeah, I mean Im more looking to get ideas out there. It does need chance for rend to hit twice on the item.
The affix is mostly what im trying to sell
Isn’t that basically what Shattered Vow is doing? If you stack up enough Bleed damage on something while using that they automatically die.
Huh? Read the affix on the item im suggesting
Except Shattered Vow only activates when an enemy becomes Injured and takes place of 2H Slashing, so, no Grandfather or Legendary Polearm (which you are going to want).
What this would do is be a Rupture that can proc at any time and would not remove the Bleed.
Fields of Crimson needs to likewise be upgraded so the X Bleed is increased tremendously, the Multiplicative Damage DOUBLED, and it should cause Rupture to no longer ever remove a Bleed.
So basically take Wanton Rupture and mix it with FoC? I could get behind that yeah.
Although, Third Blade-Rupture spamming maybe makes that problematic or something.
Yes, it is a permanent Wanton Rupture. Keep in mind to achieve this, you are forgoing Grandfather and a Legendary Polearm. It would actually make a Third Blade Rupture focus build viable, and I say viable, not overpowered.
all of sword expertise and paragon need rework.
change two-handed sword expertise from 30% bleed damage to increase 15%(X) bleed damge and all damage have 15% bleed damage.
Sword paragon : increase all bleed duration by 15%(x)
