The Nemesis modifier Corrupting Blood works differently than normal bleeding. It still deals physical damage over time and can be removed with a Staunching flask, but characters receive one charge when they hit a Corrupting Blood rare monster, up to twenty charges. Damage is based on the main hand weapon damage of the monster with the Corrupting Blood mod.

The base duration of bleed is 5 seconds. The physical damage over time is a percentage of physical damage done by the puncturing hit per second. While moving, targets take an additional percentage of the initial hit, per second. At level 1, the skill deals 10% of hit per second plus 50% while moving. By level 20 these percentages increase to 29% and 145%.

For the Causes Bleeding on Hit mod, the physical damage over time is 14.2% of the initial hit, per second. While moving, the affected target takes an additional 56.7% of the initial hit, per second. Therefore over the base duration, the target will be dealt up to 354.5% of the initial hit if it was moving the entire time. This is roughly equivalent to level 8 Puncture.

Separate applications of bleed do not stack cumulatively. Each bleed effect remains present on the target until it runs its course, but only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment. For example, assume an enemy is inflicted with bleed for 100 damage per second, then after 2 seconds it is inflicted with bleed for 50 damage per second. The outcome will be 500 damage over 5 seconds followed by 150 damage over 3 seconds.

Like all damage over time effects, bleed damage can be increased by the curse.
