The bash bleed build is a beauty. It’s not just the % damage that makes that version of bash insanely powerful, but also that each bash does 5 parallel base damage instances feeding berserk ripping, 6 even if you have paingorger. Berserk ripping is a numbers game, the only thing that scales is is the amount of base damage instances you do. So once you got your max attackspeed and basic attack speed settled in the aspects, that’s it for the berserk ripping damage of bash. And all that’s left to do is add other stuff that does a lot of individual damage ticks to further feed berserk ripping. Dust devils, needleflare aspect and a thorns stack, kick for brawler explosions,… And after maximizing the amount of bleeding, there’s Skullbreaker on top. If you temper lucky hit stun procs wherever you can and pump lucky hit, you might be able to trigger Skullbreaker multiple times per bash. This last one is a hunch, no idea how to test it. So you got three layers of scaling to min max, and imho on each there’s still meat on the bone.

The same principles can also be used for ww bleed (I’m thinking high lucky hit, ancestral echoes, arreat pants). And just have a squad of ww barbs feeding berserk ripping. Arreat pants are crazy strong on bleed ww. They give the echoes a big bleed bonus, and add dust devils, so the value they add is insane.

Giving the obscene numbers Bash can pump out, the logical next step would be: bash double (triple?) dipping into gushing wounds.

Nice work again professor! One question -- on our weapons, should we go Vulnerable or Crit Dmg affix? I have seen different content creators using either one, but which is it for the most optimum dmg output.

IIRC Crit is about 20% higher than Vuln, so Vuln is only better if it applies 20% more often. In other words (warning: flawed math) if your crit chance is 80% or less, Vuln is better. This is not true for Bleed builds with Gushing Wounds however - Crit is much better because GY makes it multiplicative.

@@Professor-Slothmaster for a bash build, it's unlikely your crit chance will go beyond 80%. Does that mean very likely you will get more value with vulnerable for non bleed builds?

Thanks! Just so I am clear, berserk ripping works on base damage and that 1189% is base damage so 60% of it will bleed? Saw Rob's chinese bash bleed video guy clearingn pit 128 with holy bolts + bash with berserk ripping bleed build.

Yeah that should work. I didn't realize people already found out about Bash Ripping, that's pretty cool. Not surprised it was Chinese and featured by Rob, experimental off-meta stuff like that usually flies under the radar in the west (despite theorycrafters like me advocating for it). Same thing happened with WW-HotA.

this might be a loaded question -- but from your perspective, with bash, factoring everything in including paragons and glyphs, aspects and etc -- dual wield or 2H? My gut tells me DW just because of things like hectic, dmg glyphs like cleave and ambidex.

DW has way more potential.

Professor, is Hota viable this patch? i'm running double swing dust devil but i miss Hota

If you run Berserk Ripping on 2H and 2H Sword Technique, Gushing Wounds, stack Crit Chance and Crit Damage, then maybe? But if you do that, you're really just trying to force Gushing Wounds to carry our worst skill. I think it can work. Good luck.

Possible to level with this? If yes - I'd appreciate if you can share a link. Want to roll a barb :) Keep up the solid work as always mate

Moonrise, Bash Cleaves and Adaptability are not guaranteed from any content, so you probably can't level your first character this season with Bash. If you get those things on a different character, then you can use them on a Barb alt, and that would be VERY good for leveling.
