I’m wondering a few things about it. Does it require hard points in the skill? Does it require the skill to be on my bar? Does it benefit from skill points in its upgrades? I’m wanting to try it out on a leapquake/bleed build but don’t want to waste time building it if the ring doesnt even work the way I’m hoping it will 
No, No and not sure what you mean with the 3rd question. You can masterwork the ring as any other item and the affixes will increase in value.
You can always put on the ring and go to the training dummies in Kyovashad and “brawl” a dummy and watch it bleed

Ring of Ravenous does not require points into Rend. It does take Rend’s numbers into consideration. Mean if you pick up the Key Passive Unbridled Rage, it will use that value. When you use a Brawling skill with the ring equip, it’ll swap weapons to whatever Arsenal is used for Rend. Warcry a brawling skill can NOT proc the ring.

If you want to make a Brawling focused build, you do not need points into Rend or Rend on your bar, but you probably want points in it if you are going to use Ring of Ravenous and want to cause Bleeding - just don’t put it on your bar.
It seems that you are wanting to Double-Dip, which you actually can do and it is quite strong. Are you using Leap/Quake with Kick? Both Leap and Kick can be boosted and proc two stacks of Rend. Berserk Ripping can be used along with high-Crit Gushing Wounds + Grandfather.
If you are using Ground Stomp you can also pick up Anemia and Concussion for your Leaps (Ramas and 1H Mace). Skullbreaker works well instead of Rupture on Trash but you will want to swap it for Bosses.

Not using kick, running groundstomp for the Ultimate cooldown from its upgrade but may try kick. Basically leapquake w/ permanent ancients is more or less the goal.
The third part I’m reffering to the slots unlocked by rend (enhanced rend, violent rend, furious rend) But thanks! really glad it looks to work as I hoped!
I tested the ring for a while and the rend seems to benefit from skill point allocations. Oddly, it’s also worth noting that if your Brawling skill is Charge, the rend will actually swap to the Slashing Weapon, counting as both a weapon swap, and the triggering the Slashing buff for Weapon Arsenal. Why that doesnt work with leap is beyond me.

Ring of Ravenous has a 4 second cooldown. It should work with Leap. Just wait a bit.
yes you are right, but I meant the rend from ravenous ring doesnt count as a weapon swap or using a slashing weapon for weapon arsenal when using Leap, but the rend from Charge does…
doesnt matter, its probably not a viable interaction to plan any builds around
Have you tried to bind 2H Bludgeoning or Dual Wield to see if it counts as 2 weapon swaps when using Charge with Ring of the Ravenous? I heard that Ring of Ravenous uses Rend with 2H Slashing always regardless of what you have Rend bound to between Dual Wield and 2H Slashing.
yes it counts as two swaps with charge if you are holding a non slashing weapon or whatever else you had bound to charge. example: hota to dw charge, or frenzy to 2h bludgeon charge are 3 swaps and WA is active. leap doesnt do this however
