I'm not sure they are supposed to dot. they increase dmg taken once applied.

Is that what it does? I boosted the bleed on Fitzroy's sword but I never noticed the bleed because I expected the bleed itself to cause either burst or DOT damage.

A debuff like that would be pretty good for boss fights.

A lot of enemies feel fairly resistant to bleed. But bleed isn't a dot. It does damage a chunk of damage when it pops and then while the enemies are spurting blood they are more vulnerable to damage.

I tried to test the vulnerable part of the dot and could never get it to work. I can spot the bleed damage explosion (one-time hit when bleed proc) but the more vulnerable part never worked. My hits on clearly bleeding enemies (blood spurting effect on them) were always the same amount of damage as before. This is either not working or the numerical values of hits are not showing it.

my understanding is that only physical damage is increased during bleed, not holy, wither, poison, or fire. same with ignite=fire vulnerability, smite=holy vulnerability. If you have a weapon that is half physical half elemental, it is less effective than having a 100% of one damage, as only part of your weapons damage is being boosted when they are bleeding/smited/ignited

Bloody glory, bloodbane ring [2 if you got them] with the bleed salt 1 hit bleed status. but yes the salts do work.

this imo is one of if the strongest swords in-game if all items used properly.
