Rend

Rend is a fury spender that makes every nearby enemy bleed and spreads its damage over several seconds as a lingering effect. Instead of a single blow you sow a field of bleeding, keep moving and let the wounds do the work – ideal for grinding down dense packs while you stay mobile. The skill is the heart of classic bleed barbarians.

For raw output, Lacerate is worth taking, since the rune raises the value and converts it to lightning damage – handy when the rest of your gear leans into that element. If you need survivability instead, Blood Lust keeps you in the fight by healing you a little per second for each enemy you hit. In group setups Mutilate also shines, chilling targets and leaving them open to increased damage from all sources – a strong support effect.

Runes by unlock level

  • Ravage (from level 11): radius of 18 instead of 12 yards, Fire damage.
  • Blood Lust (level 19): heals you for 0.5% of your maximum Life per second for each affected enemy.
  • Lacerate (level 33): 1350% weapon damage as Lightning over 5 seconds.
  • Mutilate (level 45): Cold damage that Chills and makes enemies take 10% more damage from all sources.
  • Bloodbath (level 56): when a bleeding enemy dies, all enemies within 10 yards start bleeding too. In practice the most common pick, as the bleed spreads through whole packs.

Available from level 5, Rend is one of the first Fury spenders you use while leveling.

Lamentation, Ambo's Pride and Wrath of the Wastes

The belt Lamentation lets Rend stack twice on the same enemy and raises its damage by 100–150%. Ambo's Pride makes Whirlwind apply Rend and compresses the whole bleed into 1 second.

The Wrath of the Wastes set ties Rend to Whirlwind: two pieces raise its damage per second by 500% and extend its duration to 15 seconds, and four pieces triple your Rend damage during Whirlwind and for 3 seconds after while cutting your damage taken by 50%. Six pieces add 10,000% increased damage to both skills.

Partners

Whirlwind costs only 10 Fury and keeps you moving while the bleed ticks. Ignore Pain and Sprint add safety and speed.
