I'm playing a bleed bow gladiator.


I was playing map that among others had mods:

Players are cursed with vulnerability
Monsters reflect 22% of physical damage


I've put chest on that has:
You and your Minions take 100% reduced Reflected Physical Damage


I was still taking reflected damage, and it seems it was from bleed!!

Since I'm one shooting normal mobs, bleed was so short during map clear that reflected damage didn't kill me, but on boss I've died.
I've punctured boss, moved away, there was no other mob around and degen killed me. It also seems that bleed removal flask worked, but it's also instant heal, so it was hard to tell.

Am I interpreting this correctly, reduced reflected physical damage on armor does not work for bleed?

I've tested it on another map with sextant: players and their minions cannot take reflected damage, and same result, bleed damage gets reflected

Bleed (referred as Bleeding in status icon) is an ailment that deals physical damage over time to the affected target
are you using golden rule?

No, I am not.

I'll test another phys reflect map with sextant that prevents reflected damage, with and without malevolence watchers eye that gives unaffected by bleeding.

If I don't take damage with watchers eye, that pretty much confirms bleed damage gets reflected and is not affected by reduced reflected damage.

vulnerability gives damage a chance to bleed, and maybe the reflected damage is triggering a bleed on you. so even though youre reducing the reflect to 0, the bleed damage is based on the normal reflect damage before reductions

but im not 100% sure

edit: this would mean you should have the bleeding debuff icon. if you dont have it then im wrong

oh also i think vulnerability increased damage taken stacks with that 100% reduced damage to make it not 100%. items like abyssus with increased damage taken also stack against the 100% reduced
