Check for support

  • I've checked that the behaviour is supposed to be supported. If it isn't please open a feature request instead (Red text is a feature request).

What is the behaviour ingame?

I'd imagine you would just attack really slowly but not have the negative attack speed influence your bleed dps.

What is the behaviour in Path of Building?

When your attack speed is reduced by more than 100% you bleed damage go through the roof. Having it at exactly 104% reduced attack speed makes it go even higher, not sure why that number specifically does that but it does. In the pob I have linked it has skill gems activated but if you disable them and make your primary dps an auto attack it will show max bleed dps per tick.

Research direction
The bug is likely in the damage calculation code for bleeds. Investigate how attack speed is used in bleeding damage calculations. The formula may incorrectly handle negative values. Look for where attack speed is applied to bleed damage and check for missing absolute value or clamping. The issue mentions that exactly 104% reduced attack speed causes extreme values, so test with that value.
