Bleed and Poison???

[Pard]

<DIV>I tend to start out my fights with an early bleed to give som DoT to my fighting.  However, I recently took a look at some fight logs and noticed that Poison NEVER kicks in until bleed is finished, and poison does more damage...  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Do these two things stack?  Is bleed a useless skill?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pardal</DIV>

<DIV>you can have multiple dots on a mob at once.  The only real stacking issue is two bleeds at once.  I could see poisons working the same way with other poisons possibly since the stacking system here isnt the most advanced.  However I haven't seen anything that would make bleed/poison not work other than the rng and streaky proc rates.</DIV>

If you could, take a look at your logs and see if you ever see a time when bleed proc and poison proc happen at the same time....

I see it happen all the time. I've actually had poison proc on a bleed hit that I used to finish a ringing blow HO, took a fair chunk off of the mobs health at once.

Huh, guess I've just been unlucky then -- thanks for the quick responses, guys.Maybe attempt number 101 will yield a poison proc while bleed is still working.Thanks again,Pardal (Guk)

<DIV>A little of topic - does bleed or poison interupt cheap shot?  I've noticed sometimes that I'll put bleed on then try to swing around for a SB but the mob is hitting me before I can get the shot off.  Until now I've put it down to a tick of bleed hitting when the mob was stunned, but want to make sure that its not something else.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sorry for the hijack :smileyhappy:</DIV>

<DIV>bleed will interrupt cheap shot so I would assume poisons would as well.</DIV>

<DIV>Any damage from whatever source will break Cheap Shot.  </DIV>

<DIV>When I have used Bleed in the past I have often had a poison proc at the same time. And the DOTs do stack for me at least. </DIV>
