imbued legendary or not???

ok.. lemme make it simple for you.

Cutting Attack & Grave Wound both come with bleed pulses.

Base pulse is 10 ticks and if you add the pulse legacy to your Emblem, you can add another 9 ticks (nearly doubling the bleed)

Now, if you cross trait like me, I pick up both the +20% bleed dmg in the Red Line and the +10% bleed in the yellow line = total additional bleed damage of +30% bleed dmg
AND if you add the +bleed dmg legacy to your LI and max it at +40%, the combined total increased bleed damages is now +70%

So, here we are with +70% increased bleed damage as well as 19 bleed ticks.

At this moment, I'm traited yellow line, and I have an FA weapon as well as an FA Emblem. Emblem is nearly finished, just needs a few more crystals. Weapon is a work in progress.
(and yes I know i'm not optimized.. yet)

Currently,
Cutting Attack:
1488-2449 (main-hand dmg) w/ 583 dmg initially, and 583 dmg every 2 secs for
20 secs (10 ticks) = [583 + (583*10)] = 6,413 outgoing dmg per use/ target (what it becomes if we lose the Bleed Pulse legacy upon imbuing)
38 secs (19 ticks) = [583 + (583*19)] = 11,660 outgoing dmg per use/ target (what we currently have, but gets replaced with a crit rating upon imbuing)
Difference = reduction in damage of -5,247

Grave Wound:
1347-2192 (main-hand dmg) w/ 535 dmg initially, and 583 dmg every 2 secs for
20 secs (10 ticks) = [535 + (535*10)] = 5,885 outgoing dmg per use/ target (what it becomes if we lose the Bleed Pulse legacy upon imbuing)
38 secs (19 ticks) = [535 + (535*19)] = 10,700 outgoing dmg per use/ target (what we currently have, but gets replaced with a crit rating upon imbuing)
Difference = reduction in damage of -4,815

Combined total damage output LOSS = -10,062
(NOTE: this doesn't take into consideration the impact of Telling Mark's +10% modifier which would make this an even greater loss)

Any questions????

Use an imbued li with the bleed damage leg for cutting attack

swap to a non imbued li when you use grave wound

= more dps
