At first, I was putting bonus % damage against lightly wounded targets on all my gear, under the assumption that anyone who is damaged would count.

I.E., if you stab me once, I'm bleeding a bit. Stab me twice, and I'm bleeding heavily - but I'm still bleeding a bit...right? In Amalur, maybe not.

So my question is, do "lightly wounded" and "heavily wounded" act as mutually exclusive states, akin to bonus damage during day/night? Or are heavy wounds simply a continuation of the lightly wounded state, akin to real-wirld logic?

    I always figured it is mostly due to health % losage. So like under 50% of health you are heavily wounded and above you are lightly wounded. Just like day and night. Not sure about this tho

    I've always assumed they were mutually exclusive. I'd quite like to know the answer to this too.

  • With the quiet surrounding both this question and my question about critical hits, I feel like the hardcore number-crunchers and theorycrafters from the Skyrim tag do not play Amalur, lol.

  • It's not that we (skyrimmers) don't play Amalur, it's that number crunching in Amalur isn't a compelling aspect compared to the action of combat. If I were to guess, the states would be exclusive, the same way day and night are exclusive - but that's just a guess.

    Like SaintWacko, I would assume them to be mutually exclusive. If lightly wounded was a blanket for all wounded, why would they specify that the effect would only work against lightly wounded targets rather than just say, "bonus % damage against wounded targets?"

This answer on the KoA boards might help ya: http://forums.reckoning.amalur.com/showthread.php?6582-what-are-lightly-wounded-targets-Gem-question-I-think. Summarizing: it does sound like they are mutually exclusive states. What's not clear is where the dividing line(s) are for lightly wounded and heavily wounded...seems like lightly wounded is about 75% health or so.
