Blargh help me understand Open wounds.

[Davie.]

Help! ok say I have a lvl 59 assasin using open wounds to deal damage.
What kind of dmg am I looking at. Does open wounds go through a pvp penalty? I know it can not be reduced by equipment. I'd also like to know the breakpoints for differing open wound damage as I have a lvl 90 who deals great open wound dmg but want to know what kind of damage a lvl 80 plus would deal. Thanks alot, cant really friggin get what the the sticky tells me and suspect its incorrect to begin with as I was told by knowledgeble sources that it does not vary per char lvl.

Open Wounds
This is a chance of making a monster bleed uncontrollably. They lose health while bleeding. Open Wounds Items stack in most cases.

Duration: 200 frames (that is 8 seconds).

The damage per frame seems to be the following (where Clvl is the attackers level, that is the player's level usually):

Clvl=1-15: (9*Clvl+31)/256
Clvl=16-30: (18*Clvl-104)/256
Clvl=31-45: (27*Clvl-374)/256
Clvl=46-60: (36*Clvl-779)/256
Clvl=61-99: (45*Clvl-1319)/256

If you prefer per second, just multiply by 25:

Clvl=1-15: 25*(9*Clvl+31)/256
Clvl=16-30: 25*(18*Clvl-104)/256
Clvl=31-45: 25*(27*Clvl-374)/256
Clvl=46-60: 25*(36*Clvl-779)/256
Clvl=61-99: 25*(45*Clvl-1319)/256

Some examples:

Clvl 10: 11.8 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 94.5 damage. Clvl 30: 42.6 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 340.6 damage. Clvl 50: 99.7 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 797.7 damage. Clvl 70: 178.8 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 1430.5 damage. Clvl 90: 266.7 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 2133.6 damage.

Also, the damage is divided by 4 for a player target. In addition, for a missile versus a player target one should divide the damage by 8 instead.

Finally, versus bosses and champions (could be just bosses or special bosses) the damage is divided by 2.

It is possible to get up to 100% chance for Open Wounds. Anything above 100% is discarded.

lvl 59 falls under Clvl=46-60: (36*Clvl-779)/256

(36x59-779)/256

168.125 per seconds for 8 seconds and total up to be 1345 life lost

both lvl 80 and 90 falls under Clvl=61-99: (45*Clvl-1319)/256

for lvl 80 : (45*80-1319)/256

285.125 per seconds for 8 seconds and total up to be 2281 life lost

for lvl 90 (45*90-1319)/256

341.375 per seconds for 8 seconds and total up to be 2731 life lost
