### Issue Type (Required):

Blessings

### Issue Description (Required):

Combat Blade Blessing “Flesh tearer” / Bleed stacks not working/stacking.

### Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1. Be Zealot
2. Assign two points in Combat Blade Blessing “Flesh tearer” (Attachment 1\_blessings\_general.jpg )
3. Go to training area
4. Equip combat blade with additional "Flesh tearer’ Blessing (Attachment 2\_blessings\_on\_weapon.jpg )
5. Do a critical hit on any enemy
6. See 6 ticks of bleed

It should be …11? Even if i’m misunderstanding how bleed stacks work the following is even more concerning:

1. Change combat blade to another combat blade WITHOUT additional Flesh Tearer blessing (3\_weapon\_with\_no\_blessings.jpg)
2. You still have level2 “Flesh tearer” from general combat blade blessings (1\_blessings\_general.jpg)
3. Crit any enemy in training
4. No Flesh Tearer / Bleed statcks will proc AT ALL. EVER.

My theory is that game sees an item with the Flesh tearer Blessing in my inventory and the stacking logic somehow trips the game logic for general blessing from the combat blades mastery.  
This results in the general blessing not being applied at all on weapons without additional same blessing on them and incorectly stacking on those with one.

This bug report should be ignored. I misunderstood the masteries system. The blessings actually need to be equipped on weapon for them to proc. This is inline with my findings. Everything is working as expected.

Key part about equipping it is mentioned at:
