So I have an atypical blood Lance build that's about 40/60 split on crit to OP. With veins and storm I have 100% crit rate. Here's some notes about what barber does and doesn't work with.

-Still procs Rathmas chosen when absorbed

-Gore quills lances initiate the barber damage suck

-Might be my luck but doesn't seem like essence lucky hit procs on absorbed hits

-Barber only absorbs up to the time limit OR if the damage exceeds monster health (pretty sure everyone knew this but reiterating)

-Procs passive effects like skills heal when absorbed

It changes the play style just a little. I swapped potent blood off for umbral and I may step away from essence lucky hit all together. Works great without barber but it doesn't seem to work with. Damage scales massively to single target which helps even the build out a bit.

Nothing crazy but I'm sure there were people curious.
