The nerf to 2h and dw passive bleeds was nice, but what about master DW with rending which is the main issue with bleeds? To be honest if anything bleeds got buffed with this new set:
NEW
2 – Adds 129 Weapon Damage
3 – Adds 833 Weapon Critical
4 – Adds 129 Weapon Damage
5 – Increase the damage your Physical, Bleed, Poison, and Disease damage over time abilities do by 14%.
Can you imagine this with master DW and rending?

Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

The old Blooddrinker set from HotR boosts bleed damage by 20%, though.
This one honestly seems more relevant for PvE stam builds, particularly a stamDK, rather than for PvP bleed builds specifically. And will have to test but if it applies to Endless Hail and Caltrops and even Relequen ... could be really strong.Edited by LiquidPony on January 21, 2019 9:41PM4 -

✭As @LiquidPony said, blooddrinker is much stronger for the current bleed builds, and it still isnt used by anyone simply because it is not strong enough. This set will see no play, with the only relevant benefit compared to blooddrinker being the buff to poison DoTs, which are only really utilized by stam DKs.
This is from a PvP perspective.Edited by Ahzek on January 21, 2019 9:47PMJo'Khaljor3 -

✭✭✭✭✭It was so overdue to get a nerf to bleeds. Not sure 12% is enough. Specially considering the new set that increase bleed dmg and more importantly, master dw weapons wich are grossly op.

✭Ah I see, was absent during HoTR patch, still though, master DW and rending are the main issue with bleeds atm which didn't get nerfed at all.Overload rework.

He is saying, because of this new set they introduced, even after the nerf to bleed passives, you are looking at a 2% buff to bleed dmg on paper. And hes saying that the real problem with bleeds are master dw(rightfully so)
