Report 1659

Special Report #1659
Skillset: Kata Skill: Hemorrhaging
 Org: Aeromancers Status: Completed Dec 2007
Furies' Decision:
Implemented
Problem: All monk instakills have a 1500-bleed or equivalent bruising
requirement, making the hemorrhaging a slow but sure build-up towards achieving
enough bleeding/bruising if the target has not died earlier. However, as
Ninjakari's instakill (Ughathalogg) requires a mix of the two (currently 750
bleed, 350 bruising though it is likely it is meant to be 375), Ninjakari
effectively "double dips" on hemorrhaging as they generate the same amount as
the other monks, but point-for-point hemorrhaging protects double of the
instakill requirement compared to the other monk specs, as well as making the
split bleeding/bruising that they give being worth more in general.
Solution #1: Change hemorrhaging to prevent clotting total bleeding + twice
 the bruising below the amount of hemorrhaging present

I support this. As it stands right now any other spec can build "safe"
hemorrhaging to 1500 and be guaranteed (essentially) an insta attempt. Ninjakari
currently only need to build to 750 so they get twice as much mileage out of
hemorrhaging.

Feel like this is a good attempt / needed. Not sure about the numbers, but I
support the general idea.

As an addendum I should note that there could be issues if this report is
accepted and 1648 is not because then a victim could focus their clots towards
either bleeding or bruising and thus allocate what their hemorrhaging is
protecting which would stall the part of the requirement that requires both
bleeding and bruising.

This is needed.

This has been implemented at this time.

No longer relevant but I'm commenting to prove that I read this
