  • Rend – Enemies in front of you will be Cleaved, and XX% of damage will be dealt along with YY% of bleeding damage over 5 seconds. 
  • Gushing Wounds – If you’ve caused an enemy to Bleed, you’ll have a chance equal to your Critical Strike Chance to increase the Bleed % by a 100% of your Critical Strike Damage Bonus. Overpowering an already bleeding enemy will create an explosion that’ll inflict 11% of bleeding damage over 5 seconds.

Once done, your Two-handed weapon slash-swipes in front of you while dealing 20% of additional damage and 120% bleeding damage for 5 seconds. Lastly, your Weapons swing in your proximity, dealing 33% of damage per successful hit.
