yah rend looks like it hits like a truck but it really doesnt, it does 140% weapon dmg per second which is same as cleave unruned, put lacerate rune and it goes to 180% weapon dmg per second, again nothing great
dont really see what's the big fuss about it except it being less useless than before patch
It has awesome damage for the Fury cost. With the damage rune, two Rends is almost as much as an Earthquake, and it doesn't have a cooldown.
I'm using this to farm Act II.
