Notes[edit]

  • If the affected character is also suffering from either disease or poison, or from a health degeneration hex, his health bar will be either green or purple, respectively, rather than pink.
  • Bleeding is often caused by attacks. It can be used as a pressure and/or cover condition. There are a few skills that require it on a target for additional effects.
  • Bleeding in itself isn't usually a big problem, but can play an important role in condition pressure-builds. Be cautious against builds that utilize skills exploiting a condition as a prerequisite, as it is relatively easy to inflict and often lasts for a rather long time.
