Gameplay Help and Discussion - Question about physical damage over time - Forum

I dont quite understand what is considered to be "physical damage over time". Do i have to hit a target multiple times with an physical attack within a certain time frame? Or do skill come with a physical damage over time component similar to e.g. Essence Drain which has a chaos damage over time component?

physical damage over time = bleeding bleeding comes from bleed on hit modifiers or Puncture skill and it is based on initial hit.. more information on wiki: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bleed IGN: Eric_Lindros CET: Timezone	Posted by Ludvator on Jan 15, 2017, 3:57:54 AM Quote this Post

So, if I run vulnerability to cause bleeding, Kondo's Pride will add 50% to my damage even if I have Resolute Technique and no critical strikes? "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk." Rumi US Mountain Time Zone	Posted by ChanBalam on Jan 16, 2017, 12:52:51 AM Quote this Post

I thought that that was what the DoT it granted did. Puncture seems to do so much less damage than cleave. What would you link to puncture in a 5L chest for the best dps? I guess I could change my ascendancy from slayer to Gladiator, though, and get some bleeding that way. "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk."

Now, if Gladiator actually had some synergy with 2-handed weapons, that sword would be sweet with it. But it doesn't, only the bleed nodes work, the rest are crap :( The plan is simple: win!

Yeah, I know. I can respec passive points and go get bloodletting. Do you think if I did that I should switch to puncture or stick with cleave? "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk." Rumi US Mountain Time Zone	Posted by ChanBalam on Jan 16, 2017, 2:26:54 PM Quote this Post
Well, I relented,drained my currency and bought a voidheart with 48% chance to bleed. "Gratitude is wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk." Rumi US Mountain Time Zone	Posted by ChanBalam on Jan 16, 2017, 10:33:30 PM Quote this Post
