Engravings “… on hitting afflicted enemies” work only when the affliction is active

Since a lot of people were asking this including me, I tested it and this is how it works:

Engravings “…on hitting afflicted enemies” work only when the affliction is active and NOT during build up.

I used “+30% of an Adrenaline Chunk on hitting afflicted enemies” engraving for the best visual output.

I used Katanas with Bleed, Poison, and Dazed build up.

With bleed (Bloodshade), adrenaline is normal build up while bleed is building up and adrenaline spikes 30% the MOMENT bleed is activated.

With daze, same, but unlike bleed, daze has wayy longer activated (“afflicted”) duration. So every weapon hit gives you 30% adrenaline.

With poison, same with daze, AND every tick of the poison gives you 30% adrenaline which is insane. I was not even attacking the enemy and all my adrenaline chunks get filled out.

NOTE for bleed users: this specific engraving is still useful for bleed because it gives you enough adrenaline chunks to be able to use your abilities. The poison and dazed are actually overkill.

Now, I’m still in mid game so I’m not sure about other similar engravings but I assume they work the same.
