Guild Wars 2

Wiki has the following formula for bleeding damage:
2.5 + 0.5 * Level + 0.05 * Condition Damage= per stack per second
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bleeding

My Ranger has 1154 condition damage with PvP equipment
(6x Superior Rune of Undead, PvP Carrion Amulet, PvP Shortbow, no traits)
Let’s see damage for Crossfire’s bleeding, which has unmodified duration of 3 seconds
2.5 + 0.5 * 80 + 0.05 * 1154 = 100.2
100.2 * 3 seconds = 301 damage (this is how bleeding damage is also listed)
Can we say here that listed bleeding damage is the total damage done for duration of bleeding?

Let’s add a sigil to that shortbow which increases bleeding duration by 10%. It changed Crossfire’s bleeding duration to 3¼. But what happens to damage?
100.2 * 3.25 (listed value) = 325.65 (it still lists bleeding damage as 301, how come?)

poison, bleeding and burning all deal their damage once every second. So that increased duration isn’t gonna do anything unless it adds at least an entire second.

That’s a good and plausible explanation. Tooltip displays correct value and fractions do not matter, even if they are listed. I’ll do some more testing to verify that it really works like that. It’s important information for determining breakpoints.

Thank you.

I tested and it indeed works on ticks.
I had problems increasing bleeding duration with runes. I tried this set:
x2 Superior Rune of Krait (1) +28 Condition Damage (2) +15% Bleed Duration
x2 Superior Rune of the Centaur (1) +25 Power (2) + 15% Bleed Duration
x2 Superior Rune of the Afflicted (1) +28 Condition Damage (2) +15% Bleed Duration

My testing skill here was Entangle, which has 8 seconds of Bleeding

Results: no change in tooltip with those runes equipped. It stays at 8 seconds.
Equipping Shortbow with +10% bleed duration works correctly adding +10% duration.
