Several Questions about Axe bleeds

1) Do they (or any bleeds) scale with penetration? I think someone told me that other dots do scale with pen but bleeds didnt, and I wanted to confirm.
2) I assume that if the bleed procs again before the duration is over that it doesn't stack, and just refreshes. If that's true, can the bleeds proc on multiple targets at the same time?
I got an axe drop that is part of a set I want to use and the axe is sharpened which normally i wouldnt mind but if penetration doesn't benefit the bleed proc I might not use it. (Its part of a solo set so this has nothing to do with being at pen cap for groups)

✭1. No (Bleeds ignore all armor, and so pen is useless for them) (Its also a big reason why bleeds are so hard for ZOS to balance leaving them on paper pretty weak) (Make sure an ability actually says bleed in the tooltip or its not actually a bleed, just a physical dot)
2. correct, and yes.
IMO axes are dumb. The random proccing of bleeds is inconsistent and constantly complained about by the people you kill with it. Now if only we had more than 2 bleeds in the entire fucking game to use in place of this proc. One of which is near useless and using both of which require DW+2h.EU: Magden, Magknight, Stamsorc(*2), Magsorc
NA: Magplar, Magden, PotatoBlade5

✭✭Thank you. Yeah that sucks then I got a named axe from spindleclutch that is sharpened. Damn you ZoS0 -
There is one thing to say for a battle axe and that is, they seem to have a much quicker swing ratio than any other two handed weapon. Now, unfortunately I have no idea how you measure that but, that just seems to be my experience in game. For example in Craglorn I can dispatch 3 scorpions faster with my battle axe than with my great sword and in Craglorn there is always opportunity to test that one out. Pesky vermin.

All 2h weapons have the same attack speed.0
