Notes

• Hemorrhage does not stack with [Garrote] nor [Rupture] as it is not a bleed effect; the additional damage is not applied to the damage ticks of either ability.
• If you plan to use Hemorrhage always look for the weapon that has the highest average damage that you can obtain. If you are making a choice, choose the weapon with the best average damage.
