Bleed Debuff Applying Damage To Myself When Weaponskills Were Used, Not on Server Tic

Date & Time: 9:45:00 AM EST August 26th, 2025
Frequency: Once
World name: Faerie
Character name: Onisa Stelas
Retainer name:
NPC name:
Monster name: Death Claw
Class/Level: VPR 100, Knowledge lvl 20, Phantom Cannoneer lvl 5
Party or solo: Party
In-game time: Unknown
Area and coordinates: Occult Crescent: South Horn X: 35.2 Y: 32.0 (During Crawling Death Critical Encounter)
Housing:
Steps:
1. (Have 1 Vuln Stack?) Use Bloodbath as Grip of Poison is being cast by the boss. (Maybe they applied the effects of each other simultaneously while also "flipping" how they work?)
2. Use Reawaken and go through that rotation (5 weaponskills/5 GCDs worth of time of Reawaken weaponskill cooldowns).
3. I took damage from each weaponskill I used (Not abilities or OGCd's) for a total of 5 ticks of DoT damage over 9 seconds. You can actually see when I press Ouroboros that the damage does not apply until the actual damage is counted whereas 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation apply damage to me roughly when the input is detected. (I'm sure that is all intentional for the skill animations, but it further proves I was not taking damage on a tick)
4. You can see both my party members present in the CE only take 3 ticks of DoT damage over 9 seconds.

So I just totally saw I had aggro that whole time during that mechanic LOL But, the timing of everything and the DoT killing me when it does feels off in tandem with everything else going on compared to when I see my party members taking their personal DoT damage in relation to the time remaining on all of our DoTs.

I mean you can see what damage is autoattack from boss and what is bleeding, it seems to alternate and should be fine. The autoattack have the physical blue sword icon infront of the damage numbers.
Bosses will immediately do an autoattack after finish casting, so it kinda works out I think. If you are unlucky you get a tick immediately after it being applied, if I remember how their system works correctly.
You can also never rely on the HP bars in the party HUD or the HP bars floating around, I think the only reliable indicator seems to be targeting a party member, the target bar is reliable. The other can have "delay" and inaccuracies.
(But haven't done this boss yet, not sure if there is more to it.)

For sure! I've never seen the timing on something like this before feel so coincidental, especially when I felt it in the moment. I'll try to link a full video to show more smoothness and to give a better idea. The timing was diabolical at the end for sure haha Plus I only slept like 4 hours last night so I'm probably tripping, even though I always wear rubber shoes.
