Updates

• Update 2: This passive ability now scales based on weapon damage instead of spell damage.
• Update 5: The axe bleed now deals damage over 6 seconds instead of 10.
• Update 5: Increased the damage per tick, though total damage done remains the same.
• Update 5: The mace bonus now causes you to ignore up to 20% of your target's armor.
• Update 8: Updated the tooltip to clarify the conditions of each bonus. For example, having a sword equipped increases damage on all attacks, not just basic attacks or skills from this ability line.
• Update 8: Adjusted the axe bonus so the bleed damage is increased, but now has a lower proc chance. This fixes an issue where, previously, the bleed was not dealing damage because it was being reapplied too quickly.
• Update 8: The sword bonus no longer grants a percent bonus to Weapon Damage and Spell Damage (a change that was made for the Imperial City update). It once again modifies all damage as a direct bonus.
