    They aren't hugely nerfed. They are certainly on the chopping block; it appears as if the devs are trying to get more data as to whether it's the outright damage with bleeds or some other avenue of overperformance which is causing them to be wildly more popular than they should be.

    They are a plague everywhere. Ppl flock to this meta, and why not. Bleeds are op on its own, add in sets that increase the dmg and master dw and it becomes ridiculous.

    still remains to be seen in what direction bleeds are heading. natch pots also said they are aware bleeds hit all sort of armor weights the same and want to furth distinguish in the application of maces and axes versus specific armor types. That Wheeler guy really gives me hope for the game

    noone used blood drinker as well. the set is not as op as you think, since youll have to couple it with a sustain or defensive set, hence reducing the overall damage of your bleeds and thus the multiplier as well. I tried to do a bleed build with blooddrinker, trust me, runnign ravager/7th or other steroid wepdmg set gives way better results

    Blooddrinker is in the game since Horns of the Reach. And it even buffs bleeds by whole 20%!

    Yeh but you give up a 5 piece just to get bleeds to where they are now, which means your bleeds are lowered overall unless you used spriggans or twice fanged. Plus all your none bleed damage skills like burst skills or ultis will lose out.

    Bleeds needed looking at. The way movement speed was reduced and the amount of snares in the game means you now need to be tankier. Bleeds negated that and are way too strong at the moment.

    It would be fine if they nerf group healing a bit. Don't see those notes though so looks bad. Everyone is already running around with pillow armor in CP PvP

    Another good decision by ZOS :)
    Currently bleeds are way too strong.
    It is more noticeable in PVP but they are strong in both PVP and PVE.

    Good change. If they weren't going to change the fact they ignored all resistances, decreasing the damage was called for.

    Axe's RNG bleed proc is still in an unhealthy spot imo

    Meh, I'll still run my bleed build.

    Mainly because i just recently finished it,...sorta. Still need an axe, rather than the sword I'm currently using.
    But also because this doesn't really seem that bad.

    Cancer players cried when Sloads got nerfed ( :trollface: ), but people still use it.

    I can live with this change, but hope they don't render bleed completely useless.

    Edited for Typo.

    It seems they were hitting bleeds like passive bleeds (axe bleeds).

    Deadly Strike will not affect those. Also, in order to run deadly strike you'll need to specifically build for it. The set is medium and offers no sustain so will need some sort of pairing to work it. In PvE that set will be big for some classes.

    Bleeds will still be strong and an important part of stam pressure play in PvP but i think players will move away from double axes to other options like swords for damage or maces to get their abilities through that heavy armour and let the bleeds tick pressure.

    People that are happy about the nerf should seriously just be ignored.

    Because they're so blinded by their misunderstanding about PVP builds that they missed the fact that bleeds where more buffed than nerfed. Shouldn't listen to these people tbh.

    The bleed buff was because heavy armor dps were & are overperforming. Change the root of the problem first.

    I’ve never seen a community where so many people cry for nerfs. Maybe you people would be happy if bleeds did hardly any damage and would no longer be worth using? It certainly seems that way from all the comments I’m reading here...

    Irrelevant thread, this is a Necro if you look at the comment dates. Bleeds are like any other dot now with the same values, they don't ignore resistance.

    This thread was originally started back in January, and necro'd by the poster above you, so the comments aren't about the current version of bleeds.
