Many Core Skills that do not innately inflict bleed are unable to benefit from Aspect of Berserk Ripping and Two Handed Sword Expertise for Harrogath CDR procs.
Rend and Furious Whirlwind are capable of attaining the “bleed inflict” CDR, but non-bleed WW, HotA, Upheaval, and Double Swing cannot. This bug is weird considering how Leap and Charge are arbitrarily spared from this oddity. Separately, Flay and Battle Lunging Strike appear to be the only Basic Skill iterations that proc Harrogath as well.
Testing done on Eternal Boss dummies after S4 patch.
What do you mean by Leap and Charge being spared? Are you saying that Leap and Charge can activate Rage of Harrogath?
Classically, RoH has only been able to be activated by Skills with innate Bleeding effects like Rend, Whirlwind, Flay, Lunging Strike, and Rupture. It’s been known for ages, and I don’t believe the Developers have ever officially commented on whether or not it’s a bug. If I had to guess, it was originally intended gameplay.
Yes, Leap and Charge can activate Rage of Harrogath, was messing with it for sometime to ensure my eyes were not deceiving me lol.
Both of those abilities do not have innate bleed but still synergize with RoH, so them (arbitrarily?) not being restricted by such an interaction is weird. It has to be an all or nothing thing, OR we get a better tooltip for this unique altogether. Seems like Core and Basic are particularly affected by this inconsistency.
