Default New Deep Wound Mechanics?

I dont know wether it's new mechanics or a display bug but it's interesting.

Normal Health: 620/620



Health with DW: shows 499 but when I ping my health it says 520/520.



Bleeding



Bleeding + DW



Poisoned



Poisoned + DW

Yes, it's very annoying. For a while I thought they removed the 100HP cap from deep wound, but it's really just a bug.

I think it's intentional, they are trying to show that the target has "20%" less max health temporarily, so they take that 20% off the bar and show the rest. Whether useful or not is another question.

The bar is still rescaled, and doesn't update until damage is taken, so it's now even more confusing than ever.

Now the red portion of the bar will shrink once when DW is applied, and shrink again when it updates from damage. Changing the UI to be less accurate makes no sense. See the other DW post for reasoning, but it would have made far more sense to gray out the bottom 20% of the bar and not rescale the rest, which would have also fixed the problem of the health bar not updating properly.

You can see in the first screenshot that it's not vampiric.

I even went and tested it myself and got the extra -1.

Weird, perhaps DW does -1 if you've got another condition now?

Deep Wound now gives you one pip of degen if you're suffering from another condition that also causes health degeneration (Bleeding, Disease, Poison, Burning).

No, I fail at realizing the context of your post. There's a difference.
