Bleeding and Skull Swing Questions

[tosfrmaccnt]

Hi.

1. How much damage does bleeding do (e.g. from cross cut)?
   Is there any available formula for that?

2. Has anyone tried using skull swing in pvp? does it really reduce the defense to 0 in pvp?

Thank you.

1. For crosscut, bleed depends on your damage, higher damage = higher bleed.

2. I tested using a lumai 2h sword (210 -390) vs someone higher level then me by 40 levels. Her defense was 359 and she was wearing plate. My physical attack is 598 - 778 (excluding buffs). Without skull swing i did 149 dmg, with skull swing i did 249 dmg. I have a catacomb blade + arde dagger but i justed wanted pure damage without any additional dmg vs plate + blockrate to come to the mix)

(Note that slash suffers a 25% damage penalty against plate armor which isn’t removed from skull swing)

About cross cut, the bleeding damage counts as piercing damage, so it gets boosted by pierce boosting effects, like crossguard staggering and fencer skills. It also rely on your total STR
