This build just might be good for bleeding people...

The lifehunt scythe builds 50 bleed per hit instead of 30 (and builds 40 on the user).

Not only have I used it, but check the wiki if you don't believe me.

Forum Pirate wrote:It does bleed 50% of total HP, yes, it ALSO bleed 50 points per hit. I have used it, and the wiki agrees.

Even dismissing that though, it bleeds 40 points per hit to the user. What, may I ask, would be the point of it if it built bleed faster to the user than the enemy? Even with bleed resist gear, an opposing blood shield virtually garentees you bleed yourself before the opponent.

Edit: though its scaling figures are admittedly outdated, the rest of the collectors edition guide book is accurate and it also says 50 bleed per hit.

But tell me, how many people do you really run into that actually use the shield?

You'll still bleed them first, and once you've built some bleed they can't switch away from it (to block magic or use a cross bow, for example) or they'll bleed themselves, giving you a decent advantage, especially if you've got magic.


I have no idea how fast the tracer builds bleed (per hit, anyways) Fast enough, thats for sure.

I've tried that before, I can bleed the same person out in less hits from the Tracer.

There is a reason. When you hit someone with the Lifehunt, their Bleed meter decreases in between each successive hit. It accumulates over a period of time and it takes longer to bleed.

However, since the Gold Tracer hits extremely fast, the amount the meter decreases over time is less and so it would seem you're dealing the same amount of bleed damage.
