You're saying that it does wound? And if so is that just on PvP? Cause I've tried it on mobs and I don't see it, however I do see the 1500+ bleeds that it does.

Nevermind, I get it now.

yes it does wound in PvP and i assume in PvE but nobidy has any way of checking PvE because it wounds SECONDARY stats not the action pool itself.

hehe, /diagnose works for medics, i'll check next time.

Anyone know if bleep shots can be stacked like if i hit two actionhit2 will it just bleed the once or will it bleed twice once from each hit every 10-15s or so?

In the description, it says that action hit causes WOUND damage, but when I use it, it does bleed damage, granted, it is a very high damage bleed, but I would rather have it wound something cause that would be more useful in PvP.

Any other pikemans agree with this or would rather have the bleeds?

check again, action hit 1 and 2 do minimum of 100 stat dammage to ether stamina or quickness and normaly to upwards of 300. all bleed attacks do major secondary stat dammage to the target but i do agree it would be more usefull in PvP if you could wound the action pool. doctors anyone

I tested it today, the bleeds do stack, and they do alot of damage, I've hit for 1500 with action hit 2 and and up to 800 with action hit 1, making it an effective 2300 bleed over time. It's nice but can take awhile. It sucks in PvP though cause any medic with pharm 4 can heal himself for over 600 per shot.

I am a medic/Pikeman and i can promise you bleeds will kill me just like anyone else, sure i can use a Stim D and all that bleed damage disappears, but guess what, that damage is gonna come again and again and again and again and again... add in the fact that the person that put hte bleed on me will be doing damage and i'm trying to mix in some first aid to STOP the bleed (which takes like 15 uses) and if the bleed doesn't kill me the massive mind use i'm putting in to keep myself going (and not into offense) will kill me

Good point.

Also I'm a master carbineer, so I tried to stack my 2 action shot bleeds ontop of action hits 1 and 2 and they work! The action shot bleeds only do about 200 and 400 respectively but its a great compliment to pikeman.

Just thought I'd let you guys know.

i'm trying to mix in some first aid to STOP the bleed (which takes like 15 uses)

Playingforfun: Now that PvP damage has been reduced to 25%, you shouldn't have any problems using First Aid to stop bleeding in 1-3 tries. Bleeds don't do much damage in PvP anymore.

They are still really good, though. Try bleeding your oppenentthen ducking around a corner. If he doesn't have first aid, he'll be down pretty quickly.

With my Swordsman I can still hit people with 800 damage bleeds (granted the 2.5x Rifleman multiplier when hit helps), and I can also one-shot people. Hit someone today for over 2000 damage...guess that would have been 8000 before the reduction? Anyway, needless to say he died.

So, honestly, people cannot survive bleeds. It doesn't matter what pool it targets. If you hit someone with a bleed that is doing 400-500 damage they'll die in two ticks. If you're also hitting them then they'll die in one tick.
