Corrupting Blood

Shouldn't there be a new article for this type of "bleed"? It seems fairly distinct, and it is not just a nemesis mod anymore anyway, Dominus can also inflict these stacks, as can some of the Invasion bosses such as Ataguchu. It seems to warrant its own article. Cilibinarii (talk) 12:39, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

For the sake of clarity, there are several distinct terms that shouldn't be conflated. First of all, Corrupting Blood is a nemesis mod that inflicts a "physical degen charge" every time the monster is hit. A "physical degen charge" is not the same as bleed either, and only does flat damage over time. I guess the issue is that we don't really have a good word for "physical degen charges", like we do for Viper Strike charges. —Vini (t|c) 13:40, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

If it helps, the game file just calls them "corrupted blood stacks". Chriskang (talk) 16:18, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

The debuff icon is also called "Corrupted Blood" when you have those charges on you (and IIRC, "Corrupted Blood Rain" for the different/separate temporary stacks you receive while under the blood rain of Dominus). It's also at least in some way a form of bleeding as it can be removed with "Removes Bleeding". I don't really have a suggestion on how to deal with this stuff though.

I forgot that you could remove corrupted blood stacks with "Removes Bleeding" flasks. But the effect is just a constant DoT right? It doesn't increase when the character is moving, does it? I don't have an easy way to test this at the moment. —Vini (t|c) 17:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a static charge DoT which isn't increased by movement. Ezhiel (talk) 18:13, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Also, here's what "Corrupted Blood" says exactly: "You are Bleeding, taking Physical Damage". Usually when something is capitalized in PoE it's a keyword of some kind. Ezhiel (talk) 18:37, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Bloodlust, what is the cause of bleeding

"The Bloodlust Support support increases melee damage against bleeding enemies, but prevents the skill itself from causing bleeding."

I guess it wanted to be "prevents the linked active skill gem itself from causing bleeding". (Not this support skill.)

But I have a hypothesis that it is not the truth. The truth maybe something like: "removes the bleeding part from any attack in which the linked active skill gem instance participates".

Even if the bleeding does not come from the active gem. But, for example, from an allocated "Bleed support" node in the passive tree. And maybe even when the character does the attack indirectly, via totem. When attacking, either the character uses no skill (default attack), or there is an "actioning" socket group. There may be (for example) Puncture gem instances in more than one socket group. If there is a Bloodlust in the actioning socket group (let it be even trap or totem), then there will be no bleed initiating. If there is no Bloodlust in the actioning socket group (or there is no actioning group) then bleed initiating can occur.
