Question about chance to bleed

[sempiro]

Could anyone tell me if the chance to bleed abilities stack? For example if I use Lacerate gem that has 25% chance to bleed with Chance To Bleed Support that gives me another 25%, do they sum and give me 50%?

This is from the Wiki:

"Separate applications of bleed do not stack cumulatively (unless Crimson Dance is allocated, then it stacks up to 8 times). Each bleed effect remains present on the target until it runs its course, but only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment. For example, assume an enemy is inflicted with bleed for 100 damage per second, then after 2 seconds it is inflicted with bleed for 50 damage per second. The outcome will be 500 damage over 5 seconds followed by 100 damage over 2 seconds."

A lot more expanded information is here.

Yes, chance to bleed adds up, so you'll have 50% ctb.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood. I confused what you meant by "chance to bleed abilities stack". But I'm glad I was able to help some what.
