    I'd much rather nerf a list of TTL boosting stuff than TTK boosting stuff. Is the "bleed is OP crowd" the same as the "CP in BGs is fun" crowd?
    Something being unbalanced in 1v1 does not imply that it is balanced in group play.

    Bleeds are literally free. Free.

    You can proc them by bashing, light attacking and using weapons abilities of DW.
    Also you can proc bleed per axe you have, so. DW axes+ TH axe= 2 immitigable bleeds

    When purge will be free i'll say yes. Purge counters bleed.

    At the moment is free damage that's too high and needs to be tune down.


    See ya in bgs folks

    There´re 2 bleeds in this game that are considered "free" and those are the two you mention. I´m not considering the WW light attack bleed "free" since I´ve to transform into a WW to do so.

    Bleeds are not un-mitigatable. Read your own thread. The average bleed tick from a non-werewolf player will sit at around 1,5-2k (non crit). That´s 1-2k DPS at most. If you as a Templar can´t outheal 1-2k DPS in PvP I don´t even know.......

    Besides CP (oh, those don't work in non cp) you can't mitigate them.

    What parts of my earlier posts did you fail to read?

    P.S: I forgot to mention you can slot mistform and reduce the damage of the bleed even further.......
    And if you play with a buddy, he/she can apply guard (alliance war skilline) on you and mitigate all sources of damage on you by 30% (including bleed-damage)

    Literally everything that counters bleed isn't a counter, becouse it costs magicka. Mist form is a good way to suicide.

    How did you conclude that? That sounds weird. There are 8 classes so you can always duel at least a few on your level and there will always will be somebody who you will have hard time against but not impossible. You sound very mad, notjust from this post but from all around. Is it the game or personal stuff?

    No, they are not.

    You can proc them by bashing, light attacking and using weapons abilities of DW.

    8-16% of the time

    Also you can proc bleed per axe you have, so. DW axes+ TH axe= 2 immitigable bleeds

    8-16% of the time on attacks on each bar for each, if you have both on you that's one lucky dude -- fortunately you have a button to negate most damage from of their rotation when that happens.


    When purge will be free i'll say yes. Purge counters bleed.

    1v1 a single purge has the ability to remove every bleed that exists in this game if it was even possible that someone could stack them on you before you kill. That's a damn good counter for bleeds imo

    At the moment is free damage that's too high and needs to be tune down.

    Your templar is going to take damage in PvP, and someone with a DoT build might kill you even though you're a magplar. Get over it.

    See ya in bgs folks

    Cya there, I'll look for the magplar sitting in spawn spam-hate telling everyone who killed him.

    The game will never be balanced. Why do I have to play my light armor shieldstack nightblade PERFECTLY, literally no mistakes, while a stamina troll king tank weaving heavy attacks between every ability for sustain can make as many mistakes as he wants while having immense damage?

    I apply my shields 1 single GCD too late and I get 1 hit. Stamina chars mess up sustain? It's k, heavy attack. Mess up with healing? It's k, TK gotchu.

    Everyone has their own pet peeves with the game. You vs bleeds is just one of the many problems this game has. Don't act as if fixing bleeds will suddenly make the game balanced.

    To be fair, I could care less if they get nerfed. If anything it would be a buff to me as I've exclusively played msorc/magblade since like March last year. That's however not a reason to nerf them. They aren't "overperforming", they're simply strong if you build around them. A bleed on it's own is trash. When you stack them, that's when they're strong. A bleed build will also be squishy af; there's your counter.

    As I said, I've not had problems in duels with bleed builds since like homestead patch, and I'm almost positive I've dueled far more than you ;)

    Pro tip for magplars, your class purge removes more effects than the total number of bleeds that exist in this game, and it should be on your bar already anyway. Just sayin - you have a button for this buddy.

    That cleanse costs more then any stamina ability i can think of

    Wait, are you trying to say cleanse is bad or something?

    Seriously is that what you try to imply?

    On top of that: extended ritual: 3780 magicka (without modifiers)

    trap: 3780 stamina
    circe of protection: 5400 stamina
    bone shield: 3780 stamina
    Elude (medium armor hing) 4320 stamina

    + caltrops, vigor and some more which cost like 200 stam less...

    Seems like OP doesn't even know those skills :trollface:

    Bleeds alone are not overperforming. They are a mediocre dot at best. They are STRONG (not that I did not use "overperforming"; only a sith deals in absolutes!) if you build around them. They are not overperforming. Just because you can't beat a bleed build doesn't mean they're suddenly op.

    Decide which.

    And no, being a proc with a free cost (you actually get stamina back if you proc it by heavy attacking which is laughable at best). It is the best dot in the game atm

    Three things overperforming in PvP:
    - Healing
    - Healing Debuffs
    - Damage mitigation (This thread explains it very well https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/279426/damage-mitigation-explanation-updated-for-morrowind-new-calculator/p1 )

    Bleed is a way to deal with these extremely tanky targets that otherwise wouldn't´t go down. Those "permablockers" or "healbots" that people go absolutely nuts over, would love to see bleed-damage get a nerf. Bleed damage isn´t strong on it´s own. A single DoT is never strong. Many DoT´s and high pressure together with healing debuffs and poisons is strong. How OP comes to the conclusion that bleeds are overperforming is a case for Patrick Jane........

    OP haven´t posted any evidence or come up with ANY reasonable argument or proof that they´re overperforming. OP acts like bleed is an Oblivion damage DoT (which it isn´t). Bleed-damage can be mitigated, not by physical resistance but with other sources of mitigation (I´m not writing them all again just scroll back and you´ll see my other replies).

    Heck I main as a werewolf in PvP and I seems to have easier time handling bleeds than OP. And as a Werewolf I have literally 0 sources to handle bleed-damage if running solo. OP even plays a Templar and complains about bleed......

    You kill them. Bleed builds have terrible survivability and usually only survive cause of troll king. As I said, I haven't lost to a bleed build since homestead, some of them being extremely experienced players. Burst them and they're done. I don't even know why I have to explain this to you, it should be common knowledge to someone that's not bad.

    If you call for a nerf I expect you should know how to counter said ability, not just blindly nerf something because you're too garbage to beat it.

    Both are mechanisms for killing tanky targets but you praise one & complain about another???

    Bleed is the way stamina deals with tanky targets? So it's ok if they melt everyone else just so long as they're dealing with tanks right?

    "Praise" is a little over-exaggerate. Only thing I´ve done in this thread is giving examples of ways to deal with bleed damage and using that as an argument why they aren´t overperforming. Reason I´m not talking about healing-debuffs is because the thread is about bleeds and not defiles.......Trying to stick to subject you know....
    And more people than me can agree that defiles (and especially the befoul CP) overperform in PvP...... And you´ve more sources of countering bleed-damage than you´ve to counter defile debuffs.......
