FAQ
Q: When the duration of Sanguine Soldier ends, do I lose the Bloodlust stacks that I had obtained?
A: Yes.
Q: Sanguine Escalation mentions "Hitpoint bleed effects". What other types of bleed effects are there?
A: There are two types of bleed effects. One deals hitpoint damage. The other deals ability damage. Sanguine Escalation does not interact with damage dealt by ability bleed effects (but it does interact with damage dealt by hitpoint bleed effects).
