Bleeding? noob question...

[ReaLX]

What does bleeding do except a whopping 7dmg/tick ?

Keeps you in combat. Interupts casting and, because you're still in combat, means that stealthers can't stealth for 10secs after the bleed has FINISHED. Which is in fact a long time to be stuck out of stealth =/

Kill the guy that caused the bleed. You'll then be able to stealth while bleeding (same with poisons on you).

wrong


(unless the guy that poisoned you dies - as I said)

 

[moo_work]

lies poison does not interrupt

not sure about stealthing tbh, but if it dont interrupt then i reckon it wont stop u from stealthing... (pretty sure it dont)


and it DEFINATLY does NOT interrupt you.

only bleed does

You can only restealth with a dot or bleed on you if the person that caused it dies.

I thought all DoTs only interrupted on the first hit - need to try bleeds

SBs suck

Bleed doesnt interrupt every tick... At least hasnt done that for me yet

Bleeds too. Otherwise anyone PAing a caster on a keep wall would interrupt for the next 30 secs (which doesn't happen).

Bleeds do interrupt, but the time between ticks is such that it is possible to cast spells between interrupts.

I believe the theory, dots/poisons/bleeds only interrupt on the first tick comes from the above fact, i.e. a caster who knows what he's doing can work around the effect.

Makes my bleed more of an annoyance than a useful ability.

Hold the key down works remarkably well 90% of the time (aka Chanter-mode)
