User blog comment:Brainwasher5/Highest damage possible?/@comment-1687225-20120410190538

I've heard rumors that bleed does damage based on a percentage, but I doubt that is true because testing the bandit's knife on the stray demon did much less than the target amount when bleed kicked in.

I believe now that falling attacks deal more damage than ripostes. High of any stat depends largely on the weapon.
