Explain Bloodthirsty

I noticed that my Damage is not elevating when the targets health is dropping.

Because it doesn’t give you actual weapon or spell damage. It only increases the weapon/spell damage value that gets put into the damage output equation when you attack.

That means it doesn’t help your heals where actual weapon/spell damage would (e.g. Vigor) and isn’t boosted by weapon or spell damage modifiers like Major and Minor Brutality/Sorcery or the Fighters Guild passive for slotting those skills. The devs have said that’s intentional, because otherwise it would need to be toned down.

Damage-wise it will still outperform infused with a damage glyph on a boss parse except if you can get your damage modifiers above 45-50% (which is realistic on a couple of classes, like stamplar).

can confirm it performs well on stamplar

In PVE as mag DPS, run as many pieces as you can. Bloodthirsty explained. LOL

It will still perform very well on stamplar (within a small percentage of infused), but mathematically infused with weapon damage glyphs outperforms it when your weapon damage modifier is above 51% on a dummy (closer to 45% practically speaking), especially if you do not have an execute spammable (e.g. dw/bow stamplar). Even though bloodthirsty will be very close in damage, infused will also be safer in actual dungeons and trials because it helps your main self-heal too.

Any other class outside templar with those huge dmg amplifiers

Vevvev

Also works well on classes in PvP like Dragonknight who lack an execute, however I found infused spell damage glyphs a bit more useful on my magDK because of the boosted healing over raw damage.
