Why is Bleed Spears not a thing in campaign ?

I think its a missed opportunity to bring in more diversity into campaign leveling.

I tried to make a Bleed Amazon with Spears work in campaign many month ago and stopped after Act2 because the boss damage was just awful.

Now since i have nothing more to do this season i tried again this time
making a bloodmage with bleed and spears that gets pushed with currency from my main char.

And bossdamage is again terrible.

Hell i am even using a good bit above what you would normaly have in gear SSF
since i use exalts on weapons and rings every few levels to have high damage
and also using a 5 link instead of 4 link in act2


- Bleed class
- bleed single target skill,
- a 5 Link
- best DPS weapon i can have at that moment from trade for 6EX
- 2 damage rings
- and a bleed jewel in passive tree

damage is still underwhelming.

Seems the only way to make bleed work with spears is going full crit
which isnt a thing before around ~ level 70+

Why cant we have a SSF viable Bleed option in campaign ?

I believe it's about level scaling of the skills. Rake hits to the %99 of base damage at level 10. After that you're getting "more". They're probably doing this to slow the campaign or make it harder so when you get to the endgame you feel really powerful or something.

What's funny for me is that there is an insane bleed mob for necros in act 2 gates:


This mob single-handedly carried me through Act 4 very quickly, and I was leveling an Amazon. I support it with impale scaling, and hitting the boss with impale stacks deals good amount of damage. She also causes bleed so you don't have to.

GGG will do this for 250 years, and boomers will still tell you things like, "You can't remove campaign mode from RPGs; you have to play it 50,000 times! You can't skip it!" I really hate this game's community.

I have no problem with playing campaign... again and again with every new char

But i want options for variety.

currently you can go lightning elemental in campaign with spears and thats it ....

Why cant i use viable bleed damage on a spear build in campaign ?
thats lame

It's DoT. You need to invest into it.

Why can't you do something else in acts and blees dot in waystones?

Thats not a helpful answer....

We want maximum variety in options concerning how to play the game when we have to replay the 10-12h campaign for every single char....

Its stupid that for campaign only a hand full of builds are SSF viable.
thats boring and brings repetitiveness
Why do so many people hate campaign replay for new chars ?
Because you have very limited options on what works....
No real variety

just play something else....is an incredibly bad answer.

GGG increasing the variety by making bleed and poison viable in SSF
campaign playthrough would be much better

Dude. Skill tree isn't carved in stone.

It's canvas.
