Elven Stilietto Usage Question (in General)

Checking the fight that I have with EOD using his against me. It appears that the bleeding is continuously rising in damage rather than bleeding the 20% at the end of each round. Also it by passes PL, which is not listed in the Wiki.

As you can see against Sting it keeps rising every round, even though the damage remains the same and stings' HP actually starts decreasing naturally as well.

Can I get a little more clarification as to how the bleeding works? I'm thinking about beefing mine up if this is how it works.

I meant against Stewart you can see how it keeps ramping up to where it's does just below 1 mil in damage.

But then it seems to cap out vs the other minions.
(435,017 vs Sting) and (165,048 vs Andy), not so sure about Roxanne.

I was under the impression that the number in brackets is the total poison damage done over the ENTIRE battle not per round.

Yeah, when this weapon was introduced we did a bunch of testing and concluded that the bracketed damage is just a total of sorts, telling you how much bleed damage that character took. Our overall results were inconclusive though as to whether or not you continue bleeding after the ES wielding minion dies.

As to it bypassing PL, only the bleed damage bypasses and it was found during initial testing, and must have been missed when everything was added to the wiki.

ES Changelog Reference thread

actually if you look at my post in the changelog you will see that bleed damage killed a minion long after all other damage sources were gone. It seems that the number in brackets is A: the total regular damage the ES has done to that minion (regardless if PL absorbed the damage or not) and B: the amount of damage that the bleed actually does to the minion that round.

correction-A: 20% of the total regular damage...

ES acts as a poison based on 20% of what it hits.

Say it hits for 100k damage, then the minion will take 20k "poison" damage every round till the fight is over.

If it hits again for 100k damage, then the minion will be poison an additional 20k, so 40k for every around till the battle is over.

This will continue to stack up till the minion dies or the battle is over. Basically it acts as a type of RoBF, requiring a delay strategy.

The minion doesnt take the full bracketed bleed damage every round though. Because during that crazy tourney i had the bleed well into 2-3m damage and it didnt add up. Theres a hidden bleed effect somewhere.
