Blade Spirits - Does bleed damage stack with multiple spirits?

If I have four blade spirits, does the bleed dot stack from all of them, because they’re each unique sources of the ‘aura damage’ that blade spirits provide?

Not only do they stack with each other, but both their attacks stack (they have a blade burst attack and an AoE attack) for a total of 8x the damage if you have 4 blade spirits

All I am hearing is: #BuffPetScaledPets2022

Amazing. So, I trialled this build last night. It shreds…

The four buffed blade spirits casually glide through masses of enemies spreading the good word of “bleed damage”. Weirdly stable, very good AOE damage :smiley: Bleed dot gets to around 420k-450k at peak, so not groundbreaking at all, but certainly not terrible. The wide AOE coverage of the build’s damage means for fast group fights, and very easy ‘kiting kills’.

Nice WyreZ :slight_smile: ! One question, I think you don’t have a source of flat RR, or am I overlooking anything?
Certainly a great build.

You’re quite right. I’m toying with a “Bleed team” of builds, so this build presumes that another player brings flat RR. I also realised that the devotions aren’t assigned, but Blind Fury should be on Blade Spirit, for more AOE bleed shred. :smiley:

I might experiment with replacing Oleron devotion with Manticore for 28 flat RR as a solo build though or something. :slight_smile:

Oh OK if it’s meant to be a team build there is no issue off course! I made a bleed Trickster as well, wanted to bring in Blind Fury, but went with Unknown Soldier. But don’t really like the proc so might try out your devotion route with Oleron. Thanks for sharing!

It’d be nice to tweak it for solo play as well tho. :slight_smile: We’ll see what happens.

Oleron is very powerful for bleed builds I think :smiley:
