Deathmark was a cool idea, but honestly wish we could have a node choice between it and Vendetta.

A choice would be nice but I always thought that Vandetta kind of sucked because it could be removed by skills like Cloak of Shadows, Stone Form or even by Healers.
Death Mark has all the same issues
I think Deathmark has even more issues getting dispelled or cleansed, tbh.

Its harder to cleanse the bleeds once Death mark has been used no? AKAIK even if Deathmark itself is cleansed the copy’s of our bleeds stay on target.
Depends on the cleanse.
But deathmark is a bleed, and several bleed clears remove ALL bleeds. So it’s actually worse than when we just had vendetta in those terms. Vendetta also gave very predictable + all damage, whereas DM effectively just doubles garrote, rupture, and poison damage. Vendetta also had more predictable energy regen.
They are roughly equivalent, but imho, Vendetta was superior.

I also liked that Vendetta was a flat buff, and not bleed-specific.
Envenom and Bonespike were all hard hitters at that point.
I think I really just miss playing for a big “go” and with a spell that didnt get cleansed by half the classes we play into, although I’ve learned to hold it and not send it immediately like Vendetta.
