Sanguine bleed seems to be 5% per level. It might be more complex than that, but getting bled at 1 and 10 was right around there.

Even against static-parry, there's no reason to fully prep one limb, then fully prep the next, then another. Consider your new 'prep' level one dsl fewer, then consider tapping each limb one time the final part of your prep. Go through with your killing strategy after whatever momentum/further prep you need.
Edit: Not that I particularly agree with the 3 minute change. I thought 5 was fine.
Recall that knights' prep time is longer than any other class', which means you have to stop your efforts periodically to not die to their setups, which could be all it takes if it happens at an inopportune moment. And god forbid that limb reset while you're not in their room, so you don't know about it. Then you're going to spend the next 15 minutes realizing your count is FUBAR'ed and resetting all their limbs so you can start over. Easier just to walk away and try again later at that point.
It's not impossible to deal with, it's just a royal pain in the ass, and I'm not sure why the change was needed. 5 minutes was not a long time to wait for limb damage to fall off between duels, and was already a risk against super defensive fighters, so 3 is going to be a headache.
Lightning-quick, you jab (\w+)'s left leg with an ornate steel rapier.

if llegtimer then llegtimer = nil end
llegtimer = tempTimer(180, [[echo("\n- Left Leg has reset-")
limbcounter.left_leg = 0]])
(1 for each limb, because I can't be bothered writing up 1 trigger/function to handle the whole body) Echo can obviously be coloured or anything. Just an example. I know Nemutaur's limb counter has a function like this.

Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
I have had SPs multiple times now, and essentially only use them for bashing, straight DPS, and extremely dodgy players.
When Bonko was active, he would try to lock me two or three times then leave for 5 mins to wait for limbs to reset, then attack me again, leave again. It was mildly frustrating because it would last for hours. There was nothing I could do about it. He might eventually lock me but I would never prep him. Someone could easily do this in the arena too by just running and shield/rebounding for 3 mins if their initial kill combo does not work, and then trying again after reset.
Also consider that I cant execute my kill combo if I cant track their rebounding if they leave the room because if rebounding came up mid combo i would also lose my setup.

Bypassing parry against monks is trivial, so they're not a good example. They're slower than any competitive knight, don't hinder while they prep, and usually don't use reboudning, so you can use the curare/gecko method without any trouble or even just delph them after each tekura combo and be fine. The classes that make life difficult are other knights, apostates, serpents, and alchemists, who are stacking paralysis or clumsiness on you just as fast as you're trying to stack asthma and gecko on them. (They're also the same classes that you have to go defensive every 20-30 seconds to avoid death) Using the gecko bypass against these people is a lot of frustration for not a lot of result; their hindrance means you shoul fall back on limb break strats that don't require so much momentum, but each of those have their own Achilles heel if the opponent knows all of them. (Few people do, but the ones that do are nearly impregnable)
Again, it's not impossible, it's just much more complicated than you're making it out to be, thus much more difficult against opponents who actually understand parry bypasses and aren't just setting it to a leg and forgetting it. The Powers that Be mentioned to me that the knight rev-amp should fix this when it arrives, so I'm not without hope, it's just going to be a rough road until those get here, and you'll hear some griping and swearing from my corner.
I'll post a log if I find a good one, or can meet you in Delos for a while and show you what I mean.
As a Knight, that is. Everyone else has it fine.
If I was a knight I'd find this an unnecessary change that makes you have to think too much (questions such as "how prepped do I leave a limb so I can hit it more to reset the timer?") and play too aggressively for a class that already preps really slowly. I understand it may have been implemented to try and balance the innate advantage prep classes have compared to momentum classes, but this change harms knight prep simply because it is already so slow and uses momentum based methods for parry bypass.
