Bleeding is a condition that causes 3 pips of health degeneration on a character. The visual indication of bleeding is a ring of dark red mist around a character's waist. The health bar for the affected character also turns pale pink.
Like poison and disease, bleeding only affects creatures with flesh.
Barbed weapon upgrades lengthen the duration of bleeding by 33%.
A Rune of Restoration or the Inscription "Fear Cuts Deeper" can be used to reduce the duration of bleeding by 20%.
Bleeding is often caused by attacks. It can be used as a pressure and/or cover condition. There are a few skills that enhance the effect of bleeding or require it on target foe for additional effects.
Bleeding in itself isn't usually a big problem, but can play an important role in condition pressure-builds. You should also keep an eye out for it when facing builds that use skills that need a condition as a prerequisite, as it is relatively easy to inflict and often lasts for a rather long time.
If the affected character is also suffering from either disease or poison, or from a health degenerating hex, his health bar will show either green (for disease and poison) or purple (for a health degenerating hex).
