I have a char. Wa/elem. When i use sever artery against some Warriors in PvP i find that it has practically no effect. However, when they use this on me, I bleed and my health continues to decrease with time (although i have armor 85 and major runes). Can anybody explain why this is the case?

Watch your opponents secondary. I know I just got out of random arena, just screwing around, and as always everytime I received a condition I plague touched it to the nearest opponent. Strange, I remember going toe to toe with a war/ele who was insistent on bleeding me. Hope it wasn't you, it didn't end well for him. =)

degen alone never killed anyone, you need to back it up with solid damage. and usually the degen scares people into thinking it kills them, if you want to know just how little it does sit in the lava in the fire map and see how long it takes to kill you with 'two' bleedings on you

Are they following up Sever Artery with Deep Wound? That's a pretty common combo and will look like it's doing more damage faster.

W/Mo Paladin premades have that godly 3 pip Mending which owns your Sever Artery. (3-3=0). GG.

Probably they are using a nice combo. But really when a necroamcer use its degeneration (green thing) or when mesmer use its (rose thing) i c my life degenerating from 500 to 200 easily and i do not have time to count the backward pip on my health bar.
This is the case although i have 85 armor, 3 major rune and am lvl 20!!! I also use armor earth healing shignet and victory is mine.
How is it that some Wa/Mo when i use sever artery and deep wound they hardly bleeds whilst when they use on me i bleed and bleed.

LOL.

1.) 3 Major runes? Wtf?
2.) Degeneration ignores armor and is capped at -10, which is 20 life lost per second. It is not "damage" and so is ignored by things that reduce "damage."
3.) Most noob W/Mos (except yourself) are using Mending, which counters the Bleeding caused by Sever Artery.
4.) Armor of Earth on a Warrior in PVP? Stop the madness.
5.) Oh man

I have 3 major runes 1 superior vigor and 1 superuior hammer. What is bad about that?
I was told to use armor of earth in PvP.

3 major runes is -150 hp. 1 sup hammer is -75

total of -225

ouch

you should have a max of one superior as a warrior (hammer) use minors for the rest

Armor of Earth is horrible on a PVP Warrior for obvious reasons.

1. Mobility is important.
2. You don't get attacked, so the defense is irrelevant.

1+2=Bad Warrior skill.

I don't think I need to comment on your runes. If it isn't obvious, you'll never understand it anyway.

Quebec Osti · Aug 27, 2005, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Ok well... you wearing 3 major and a superior and wonder why your life goes down fast?!? Dont search any further... Also, armor of earth on a pvp warrior is HORRIBLE. You need mobility as a warrior. I would laugh so much if I saw a war using it in pvp... No way in hell he would ever touch me.

poft123 · Aug 28, 2005, 08:00 AM // 08:00

I badly explained. I have 3 major Absorption, 1 superior vogor 1 superior hammer mastery.

I have been using aftershock but found it is of no use.

Rajamic · Aug 28, 2005, 11:17 AM // 11:17

So you are wasting 2 major absorbtion runes then. Not as bad, but still bad.

The Fenixxor · Aug 28, 2005, 12:36 PM // 12:36

Runes dont stack 1 major absorbtion = 3 major absorbtion's.

smurfhunter · Aug 28, 2005, 06:43 PM // 18:43

i still highly doubt its bleeding thats killing you. it probably did only about 50 damage if you actually counted. its gash/ sword attacks that killed you, bleeding just scared you.

not to defend the other guy, but your #2 contradicts your quote about the runes.

think about it.

smurfhunter · Aug 28, 2005, 08:37 PM // 20:37

the runes are useless for more reasons than the - hp, like why do you need 15 strength again?

pagansaint · Aug 28, 2005, 08:47 PM // 20:47

15 strength helps the useful strength based skills, Sprint... ummm... Power Attack?... errr... Bull's Strike?...

Rajamic · Aug 28, 2005, 08:51 PM // 20:51

Most intelligent Wars use high Strength (ususally around 12 or 13 from what I've seen) with 16 in their Weapon to dish out bigtime damage.

smurfhunter · Aug 28, 2005, 09:15 PM // 21:15

strength gives a minimal bonus, and like yay you can add 1 second to sprint...

???

its not worth the -hp is what im getting at. lol. power attack.
