Excuse my retard but can someone explain what bleed through exactly, context isn't enough.
Bleedthrough is when damage from your shields carries over to your health. Let me explain. Say melee is 100 points of damage. Your shields have 100hp and health is 50hp.
Say you have full shield: with No Bleedthrough, you notice that 1 melee will make you no shield, full health. (100 damage)
Now, say you have about half-shield (50hp) with No Bleedthrough. You get melee'd, you lose the rest of your shield, and no health.
This means your melee only really did 50 points of damage instead of 100. Now you need to inflict 50 points of damage to the Health of the player for them to die.
----------------------------------------------------
Now. Say you have Bleedthrough ON. If you have half shields (50hp) and get melee'd, your shields will take the damage (50hp) and then whatever is left over will get carried over to your health. Since there's 50 damage points left your melee would deal, it takes that 50 damage points and takes it away from your health. In this situation, you'd die instead of the shield taking the impact and nothing more.
It makes sense that Bleedthrough is better because without it, an enemy with even 10hp shield will live from a 100 damage melee.
^^^To put THAT into context: If you take a hammer and smash it into a piece of wood, causing it to break, will the hammer bounce back at you? Or would it continue in it's intended path but with less force? 1st question is No bleedthrough. 2nd is with it.
