I was in Duskwood killing undead yesterday when I noticed that my Rake wasn’t causing the DoT effect, but my Rip was. I understand that some mobs are immune to bleeds (though I confess that I don’t know exactly which types) but I thought they would be immune to both abilities if this were the case.
My only guess is that Rip is different somehow.
They are both bleeds, from what i remember leveling through there. The skeletons are immune to both and the ghouls are not. I dont recall any being immune to one and not the other that seems weird
Yup, both are bleeds and some mobs are immune to one.
They are both Bleeds, but I’m guessing Blizz thought it would be a little too harsh for Druids if mobs could straight up be immune to a large chunk of our dps. I’ve noticed that Rip will work on anything, even mobs normally immune to bleeds.
I remember druid bleeds being insane in pvp at the end of Vanilla. Am I remembering wrong or was that because of the BC patch not this one?
RIP was not changed to actual bleed damage until TBC…
in vanilla it was just considered a DOT doing physical damage. Even though technically it is a bleed.
Yep, same with Rogues… Mechanical, Undead, Spirits, a lot of mobs are immune to bleeds and poisons.
I guess it just stings like the dickens for twelve seconds.
they are not that great in 1.12. an eviscerate does more damage than a 5 point rip over its whole duration
Its really inconsistent in game.
skeleton mobs dont bleed.
ghouls do.
wait till you get to elementals…
