@LiveAndSound Let me expain what my bleed status does to player-controled characters. All bleeding does is stop a character's ability to run and Aura regeneration for 5 seconds as your Aura is focused on healing your wound before shielding your character. Bleeding, again, can only be applied when a character's Aura is down. So the only purpose of bleeding is to increase the down time and vulnerability of a character for 5 seconds and this effect cannot be stacked. And Aura regens in about 3-5 seconds in my GDD, so characters that are Aura-reliant, such as Aura Pugilists, won't have to worry too much about Aura consumption.
