Lamentation - Rend Question: What's the best rune to use to maximize Rend DPS?
Take the poll and offer me your insights.
I've recently got a really nice Ancient Lamentation and want to add Rend into my DOT Build. I'm wondering which rune would provide the largest damage increase.
I am not including Ravage or Blood Lust since one increases the range, the other is a heal.
Would the stacking of Rend increase Lacerate Dmg from 1350% to 2700%?
Would it increase Mutilate damage to 20% from all sources?
Would Blood Bath cause all enemies to be hit for 2200%?
I tested Mutilate and from what i've seen, it does increase the bonus damage taken of mobs from 10% to 20% from all sources. Pretty sure it works the same for Lacerate as well but not sure about Blood bath (probably not?).
I'm thinking that you could possibly mage a pretty effective COLD based support barb with Mutilate (20% extra damage for all) and Cold LeapQuake (mass freeze).
But, why would you not just freeze everything with Raekor?
It obviously depends on elements you use mate... please be more specific and tell us what %ele damage you got the most right now.
This early into Season 2 I don't have a whole heck of a lot of +% elemental gear, so the sky is the limit. I do have a Heart Slaughter, a Shaeffer's Hammer, and a Maximus as far as 2h goes. I also got a Shard of Hate and a Rimeheart already too.
So last night I was using Rend - Mutilate in our group that contains a BoP Crusader sucking everything in with Condemn. I would double Rend and stuff would just get destroyed! the 20% damage modifier from the double stack of rend - mutilate was noticeable indeed!

This depends on the situation.

No Elemental % yet. So I can still focus. I've get to even find a legendary amulet yet.
