Open wounds: Q and A?

First off id like to apologize if there is an existing link on this. For some reason when i search i get "cannot display screen".

Ok, in PvP, when open wounds is applied;

A) How long does it last?

B) How do you determine damage inflicted?

C) Does elemental damage from charms/runes/CoC come into affect?

If anyone can help me out with these i would greatly appreciate it!!

Length of OW is determined by clvl I believe. Dmg is also determined by level I'm sure but I don't know the exact amount. I don't think anything is applied to OW other than the blood loss ( no elemental).

It lasts for eight seconds, or 200 frames. Elemental damage is applied to your damage when you attack, and has nothing to do with open wounds - open wounds is it's own type of damage, and nothing but getting a higher level will cause it do to more damage. For more information..

The following information is directly from the Arreat Summit website.

Open Wounds Duration: 200 frames (that is 8 seconds).

The damage per frame seems to be the following (where Clvl is the attackers level, that is the player's level usually):
Clvl=1-15: (9*Clvl+31)/256
Clvl=16-30: (18*Clvl-104)/256
Clvl=31-45: (27*Clvl-374)/256
Clvl=46-60: (36*Clvl-779)/256
Clvl=61-99: (45*Clvl-1319)/256

If you prefer per second, just multiply by 25:
Clvl=1-15: 25*(9*Clvl+31)/256
Clvl=16-30: 25*(18*Clvl-104)/256
Clvl=31-45: 25*(27*Clvl-374)/256
Clvl=46-60: 25*(36*Clvl-779)/256
Clvl=61-99: 25*(45*Clvl-1319)/256

Some examples:
Clvl 10: 11.8 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 94.5 damage. Clvl 30: 42.6 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 340.6 damage. Clvl 50: 99.7 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 797.7 damage. Clvl 70: 178.8 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 1430.5 damage. Clvl 90: 266.7 per sec over 8 seconds for a total of 2133.6 damage.
Also, the damage is divided by 4 for a player target. In addition, for a missile versus a player target one should divide the damage by 8 instead.

It is possible to get up to 100% chance for Open Wounds. Anything above 100% is discarded.

How about w/ ES sorcs? Does it go on directly like damage taken and thus through ES or does it go dorectly to life w/o going through ES.

Open wounds is actually negative life regen, so it goes straight to life, without going through ES. The only penalty OW suffers is the PvP penalty, which is 25% to it.
