Sever artery
poft123
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.

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.

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.

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
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.

So you are wasting 2 major absorbtion runes then. Not as bad, but still bad.
The Fenixxor
Runes dont stack 1 major absorbtion = 3 major absorbtion's.
smurfhunter
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.

the runes are useless for more reasons than the - hp, like why do you need 15 strength again?
pagansaint
15 strength helps the useful strength based skills, Sprint... ummm... Power Attack?... errr... Bull's Strike?...
Rajamic
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
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.

I still badly explained something. Am using 3 major absorption one on each armor then 1 superior vigor on another and finally superior hammer mastery on another armor which make a total of 5 runes on 5 different armors.

You can only use one rune of a given type, the rest are wasted. For example:
Superior Health-bonus hp, woohoo! A 2nd Superior Health...exact same hp as the first...3rd sup health...same as the first.
Basically...only one Major is having it's effect. Dump the others.

It is only 3pips of degen...
sleazeh
Per the original question, it may well have been that the opposing warrior was a W/N, and used plague touch.
Much more effective than 3 pips of mending.
I wouldn't even consider running a sword/axe warrior with anything other than necro secondary. Hammer of course is a different matter.

The rune thing can be summed up as:
Rune effects don't stack. The effects do not add up (clarification).
If he can't understand that, then he can't. I would feel something like the hopelessness I felt when I couldn't explain "market prices" to a person who sold a +29 pommel of fortitude for 3k.

I hope you were the buyer.

No, I failed miserably.
By the way, why are you using aftershock? Do you have Whirlwind?

I don't see the point on putting Strength in a Warrior's att. point, but maybe it's because I'm a W/R. I put my att. points in Tactics 12, Axe Master 12, Wilderness Survival 7, and Beast Mastery 7. Although, I do have +1 on Strength, but it's only because of my helmet, I might buy another one that'll give me a +1 on Tactics, so meh.
