What is wrong with bleeds in pvp ?

SunshinePL · October 2018

Hey, there is something wrong withe pvp bleeds. In pve everything looks good. 7800dmg in crit per tick from twin slesh with masters weapon in pvp should be around 3700 dmg but I deal only 2100 in crit. ( it should be 50% less + % protection - no 3.5x less). And weapon axe bleeding is also lower than before it was. 1.7k in crit now only 1.2k in crit.
Could anyone from ZENIMAX expleain me what happened with masters dual bleeading and weapon bleeding ? I spent a lot of time in farming my sets and now it's looks useless....

Maim, protection, CP % debuffs etc affect it. As with every kind of dmg.
Don't worry, bleeds are still plenty strong but just imagine if you had things dealing nearly 4k damage every 2s.

CP resists. Use it BG. I get 3k+ crits regularly in noCP PvP.

I am 100% sure that bleeds are broken I tested masters bleeds on the same person 2 months ago and that was 3700 in crit without buffs and now he get only 2100 in crit

@SunshinePL you do realize that in BGs is non-CP so you have no benefits also you do realize that if people are using impen which is what most do otherwise they get 2 shotted that doesnt reduce the chance to get a crit strike but reduces the damage of the crit strike...so yes the more impen the target has the lower the crits on it will be.

I'd hardly call a 2.1k crit over 8 seconds useless in PvP. Its unblockable/unmitigated damage. Especially when applying other dots and pressure. I run a stam sorc dot/bleed build myself, and see around the same numbers...it's very effective.
Also, keep in mind crits have highs and lows. You might crit for 2k, then crit for 4k. It just depends.
I honestly can't say I've seen anything wrong with bleeds. You just might be having a streak of bad luck crits.
