Why use haemophilia? Can I go with breathstealers instead? I just can't do blight/delirium :(

Just bought a decent Stygian Vise. Is there any particular reason why the Abyss Jewel in the OP has taunt?

to reduce incoming damage and taunt more mobs into the BIG POP

Enemies you Taunt can only target you, and deal 10% less damage to anyone else.

How does this reduce incoming damage? The tooltip says:

POB is there so i will be checked up.
Even with boosted bleed, Fist of War is 35% more damage while old Ruthless is 45%, considering cooldowns and amount of attacks.
So, like i thought it does look good on paper, but in reality it's not that crazy.
Pulverize got better in 3.11 though and is a gem to go, surprisingly. Cannot understand why, maybe i missed something. But it's better than ruthless now.
After looking at the numbers and using new Hegemony's unfortunately the build lost about 10% of damage simply because of weapon.

How are you getting 35%? I'm seeing more like 70% when putting it in POB, given it should be going off every other attack (you might need to lower attack speed a tiny bit to get that, though just taking your mace PoB as it is it's already super close to a 0.9 second attack time, just needs to be slightly slower). 35% means you are getting it every 4th attack, which is way too much attack speed for Earthquake, that means you are hitting more often than every 0.6 seconds (~1.666 attacks per second). Even if it goes off every third attack, that should be ~46% more.

Also, it's BETTER in reality than on paper, not the reverse, since any downtime makes FoW better. If you one shot a pack and then leap to the next, it'll likely be back up, meaning you have the damage boost up more often than the simulation would expect.

That's the case . Huge dps boost if you attack every 2 seconds or so. And not so great if you kick that boss for a while with 2 ATTACKS PER SECOND.
Fist of War is fantastic for very very slow builds, but honestly i greatly prefer at least 2 attacks per second MINIMUM. otherwise gameplay literally feels like snoozefest.
If you make it too slow = you will potentially get more of FOW, but less of effective Aftershock since you will slow it down too. And of cause less SHockwave.
With 2 attacks per second, Aftershock + Shockwave taking off simultaniously are more than enough to destroy any pack in 0.5 seconds, before the FOW even takes off.
