Since this is every minute, you will be able to sync Grabstein with this 100% of the time for a total of one stack

Siedendes Blut will grant you one stack per cast - two if you have selected - and at its base recharging rate of 7.5 second before haste, this means that with proper timing and a smidge of optimization, this can net you a minimum of two stacks. This is also our first interesting highlight: a relatively minor haste breakpoint! You ideally will want to reduce Siedendes Blut's recharge duration to below 5.5 seconds in order to be able to fit three Siedendes Blut in a single . This sounds like a lot, but in reality it is only around 20% haste before Knochenschild, and is just a somewhat minor damage gain that also feeds back off Critical Strike (by providing double stacks on crit thanks to ) and Versatility.

The periodic ticks from Tod und Verfall and Blutseuche will also contribute, up to 14 stacks and up to 5 stacks (10 with ) respectively.

Every two minutes, Monströse Gliedmaße (if talented) will grant you another 13 stacks

Finally, every tick of Berstende Knochen from losing Knochenschild charges will contribute a stack.

A minor amount of bonus stacks can be gained completely passively through . With this talent picked, Blutseuche occasional ticking a second time for 30% additional Shadowfrost damage. We'll assume for now that this also feeds back in the same way Blutseuche does - providing healing leeched for 100% of the damage it deals.

will grant you a number of stacks - likely 4 at minimum as the wave returning deals Shadowfrost damage and is a guaranteed critical strike, 6 (way there + way back) potentially depending on how the stacking behavior works instantly after application, and with a gigantic undefined behavior aspect for enemies with large hitboxes.

, if picked, additionally causes Todesstoß to deal Shadowfrost damage - and in turn, generate stacks on your currently active . This in turn could, depending on tuning, slightly emphasize pooling some Runic Power before casting .

changes the school of Siedendes Blut and causes any Shadowfrost-schooled damage event to grant double stacks, and doubles this further if it crits

will effectively apply to anything close to the target you marked, and reduce all of the physical damage they deal by 5% for 10 seconds after ends. Combined with all of the other talents, this is effectively 33% uptime on everything nearby, assuming you cast on cooldown. 5% is perhaps a bit low, but this is just a tuning point.

is another playstyle-dependent defensive gain - up to 10% physical and magical damage reduction as a reward for spending runes optimally. It is not clear whether these stacks refresh the way Koagulophathie and Eisige Klauen stacks do, and judging by both the short duration and the relatively large gain, it would make sense for this to work in a similar way to Eisenfell - each "charge" of the buff having an independent, overlapping duration. If it simply refreshes the entire stack, playing optimally will simply net you 10% physical and magic damage reduction as long as you do not lose uptime on your targets. Neat! If instead, they function as independent stacks, you will simply walk around with 4-6% of each at all times.

turns Lichritter into a 90 second cooldown. This is perhaps the weakest of the nodes defensively, but is absolutely not without its uses.

By picking , they would predictably gain all of the effects of the talent tree every 30 seconds, with a small chance to echo them 12 seconds later

By picking , they would instead predictably gain a slightly stronger wave every minute, with all other effects of Mark being repeated 12 seconds later every minute instead of every 30 seconds

Whether both the healing amount and healing absorb of Todespakt are reduced by 50% when Todespakt is automatically cast

Whether this 25% maximum HP in damage is effective damage or not. If it is not effective damage - if, for instance, you can fully absorb a tankbuster then get fully overhealed by this talent while also picking up a 15% healing absorbption as an added bonus - then this is a trap talent that will literally harm you more often than it helps you, and further reinforces what I have been saying all along: Todespakt's healing should be an Absorb.

Whether a maximum of 15 second reduction on Todespakt (which, reminder, we never pick because it is frighteningly expensive in terms of talent pathing while being massively lackluster) even makes sense
