Most detailed Bleed Bow myth busting | 3.21 Crucible

Till lvl 12 splitting steel, then you swap to sunder with ruthless and chance to bleed. Axes > Maces, especially when you get onslaught on kill from tree. Sunder deals the most dmg up close (or the very last shockwave, which requires you to not hit quickly). Remember to update your weapon at least once 2 acts, but if you do it every act you will feel good. To update ur axe you need to sell magic/rare rustic sash, blacksmith's and a white axe (preferably with quality) to a vendor, or use essences of contempt or just get lucky with drops. You can take corrupting fever for additional damage till Dominus, but after that it falls off. 4th link can be faster attacks which makes it more comfy, but doesnt really increase ur single target damage, as for example brutality or lifetap does (multistrike is cringe before maps). If you hate stuns, you can take unwavering stance whenever you want. Also remember to use precision instead of herald of ash for a while, because you will have issues with accuracy for 5-10 levels before getting to RT. Ancestral protector is our friend, but ancestral warchief is a bait, it doesn't work for bleed. Pride has more damage agaisnt bosses, but almost unusable for clearing, while malevolence gives less dmg, but is consistent no matter what you are doing. When you spec, make sure you have at least 450 pdps bow with less than 1.3 attack speed, or 500 pdps with less than 1.4 attack speed, cuz we get most of our dmg from flat on bow, not attack speed. Abuse champion adrenaline procs with weapon swap + corrupting fever + second wind + weapon swap back for maximum speed, but requires to do it every 20 seconds, or go glad and take blood in the eyes if you are lazy.
