Bleed Adjustment for PVP

The BLEED is not reduced by resistances. Every damage except Oblivion is „mitigated“ by Battle Spirit. What BLEED does and why it‘s problematic in PVP for several patches now and alarming for the upcoming patch, is explained in my first post.
Bleed damage on every single skill, including rending slashes, is being mitigated by Resistances. Only bleed damage that ignores resistances are the PASSIVE bleeds. (twin blade and blunt bleed, heavy weapons bleed)
and you go ahead and ask for nerfs to twin slash bleed damage assuming it ignores resistances. Please be informed a bit more. This is what's wrong with the community. Cries for nerfs on things that are not even problems themselves
You are wrong. Go test.
lol that's because he is seeing the initial hit and thinking "OMG BLEEDS MITIGATED BY ARMOR, RIP". But the initial hit might be the only thing mitigated (because it's not a bleed, but the dot is a bleed).Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

JPcrazysquirrel3✭✭✭✭The first issue with reducing the damage of bleeds is it makes those same skills pretty useless in PvE. There is that half of the game.
So the answer is to only reduce their damage in PvP. To that, it is clear Zos does not want to create different rules for skills in PvP vs PvE. They have stated that much very clearly.
Exactly this.
PvE exists too.
Just because you don't like something in PvP doesn't mean it is automatically broken and needs nerfed. Because as of right now, those nerfs affect both PvEers and PvPers.
Maybe, when this game is close to it's death, ZOS will finally implement a distinction between skills in PvE content, vs those same skills in PvP content."Wood Elves aren't made of wood. Sea Elves aren't made of water. M'aiq still wonders about High Elves."
"It's just not a home until you decorate the torture chamber, am I right?"

sneakymitchell✭✭✭✭Bleeds ignore resistances and thus are the 2. most effective source of PVP damage, only being mitigated by Minor/Major Protection (and other % based mitigation) and partially by Critical Resistance. Only Oblivion damage is stronger.
With the adjustments to damage shields, so that they are now takeing resistances into account, already overperformant bleeds will yet again be too commonly (ab)used in PVP.
I think a 33 - 40% damage reduction to skill/passive applied bleeds should keep them in check and would keep them „special“ due to their resistance ignoring nature.
So what stam can’t get penetration like magic users in light so bleed is needed.NA-Xbox one- Ebonheart Pact- Nord Tank DK

Could just change bleeds to do bonus dmg vs armour types then? I'm sure zos can do some calculations and change the bonus dmg to heavy to be about the same as it is currently.@Buzo
Or even just give the bleeds flat out % pen
@leepalmer95
Your points are non constructive.
Make bleeds punish one armor type more than others in an explicit way is the worst of „design“ choices.
Yet bleeds already do exactly that. Ignoring all resistances actually punishes HA builds the most since that's what they chose to build for. Obviously bleeds are meant to be the counter to that. It just so happens that ZOS failed terribly in the big picture design choices and gave HA better healing received and HP recovery, so they don't have as much trouble dealig with them as they should.
I'm going to repeat myself here by saying that in every other MMO I played the counter to tank was as effective against every other class/role as against tanks themselves, and that's the way it should be ... if someone builds/chooses class to withstand high amounts of damage, why should someone else be able to deal with it better? If there is a counter to a tank in form of damage bypassing his armor, it should work as well against everyone else, with maybe one exception being healers, having an ability to deal with it better.
When you bleed, you bleed untill stopped, it does not really matter what are you wearing.

Rukzadlithau✭✭✭✭Again, bleeds are not the counter to what heavy passively brings. It‘s the counter to the baseline protection any armor type brings and can be built with (sets like Fortified Brass, Protective/Reinforced trait). Because it ignores resistances it‘s an almost absolute source of damage. In PVP the achievable tooltips on bleed abilities / passives are too high. Special items like Master DW push it from powerful to OP. This is not a problem about Master DW, because nerfing this will ruin it‘s special place in build customisation.
Passive bleeds aren‘t make or break in PVE, proven that almost all highend stam builds use double daggers. The loss of damage from Twin Slashes bleed can be moved to it‘s MITIGATABLE burst component, so a PVE dps loss is excluded and PVP performance is brought in line.
Bleeds in PVP should have their niche and not outperform all current alternatives on Dual wield.1 -

Zeromaz✭✭✭✭They could (in theory, probably not in practice with their history) make bleed damage scale with armor they’re used against. The higher the armor, the harder the bleed hits. That way its not too OP against light and medium2 -

A blanket Bleed nerf is a blanket WW nerf. But unlike most nerfs, you can’t just swap out a skill or gear slot and adapt. They would just straight-up lose damage.
If Bleeds are overperforming, the individual sources should be evaluated separately. For example, the WW bleed can’t be stacked with the axe passive, since that passive doesn’t work in WW form. Similarly it can’t be combined with Masters DW.
Not fully convinced that bleeds are actually too strong, but if they are, please don’t forget that werewolves exist.1 -

lucky_dutch✭✭✭✭Bleeds need to scale with weapon power, making them slightly weaker for heavy armor builds and slightly stronger for medium armor builds.
That way they'll be a counter to heavy armor meta, not an enabler for it.3 -

✭✭Nobody cared/complained about bleeds before this PTS even though nothing has changed with them. A Blackrose weapon which had a small design flaw allowing for scaling bleeds was introduced (and has now been nerfed to deal poison) and suddenly everyone is begging for bleed nerfs left and right. Ironically people have forgotten that Sload's Semblance still exists but "OMG, bleeds! Plz Nerf!..." like wtf?2 -
