Inscription of Excessive Bleeding
Inflicts 2 Bleeding for 6 seconds on every 3 basic attacks.
Blood flows endlessly.
Effects & keywords
Bleeding (on enemy): 5 physical damage per stack, every second, ignoring defense and shields (flat, does not scale with attack power; stacks up to 99). Example: 10 stacks = 50 physical damage/second. Duration is set by the applying skill.
How the math works
Every basic attack adds 1 stack to a hidden counter. On reaching 3, the target takes 2 stacks of Bleeding for 6 seconds.
Where it lands: The Bleeding stacks are applied to the target of the attack that completed the cycle.
When it runs: Before the hit is calculated for the counter, and when the counter effect is applied for the payout.
What it applies to: Basic attacks only.
Worked numbers
| Basic attacks landed | Payouts | Bleeding stacks applied |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 1 | 2 |
| 6 | 2 | 4 |
| 9 | 3 | 6 |
| 12 | 4 | 8 |
| 30 | 10 | 20 |
Payouts and Bleeding stacks applied over a run of basic attacks.
Rule of thumb: 3 basic attacks is one payout of 2 Bleeding stacks.
Things the tooltip does not tell you
- The counter effect's max stack of 4 is the 1, 2, 3, 4 then reset pattern, not a 4-attack cadence.
- The counter is invisible in game.
How it interacts with other effects
- Stacks refresh onto the same target, so the Bleeding damage compounds against a single enemy you keep hitting.
