Sacred 2:Damage over time: Physical

This effect causes Physical Damage over Time. It can be inflicted by the weapons and Combat Arts of opponents and the player. It is also caused by the Secondary Damage Effect of Physical damage known as Open Wounds as well as Serious Open Wounds.

It is important to note that Armor cannot protect against Damage over Time: Physical. The modifier Opponent's Chance to Wound - X% will reduce the likelihood of being Wounded by opponents, however it will not affect Physical Damage over Time that is built into Combat Arts. The most effective ways to resist this effect are to use a Recovery Elixir and look for the modifiers Damage Mitigation: Physical +X% and Damage Over Time: Physical -X%.
