I'm not sure how this works compared to how it used to years ago.

If you bloodburst a critter that bleeds (not undead, stone, etc.):

1) Does it heal in some other way if it isn't able to tend?

2) Do you learn from it if you are in town/elsewhere when it dies?

3) Do you get some partial learning or something if someone else finishes it off?

I'm hunting in an area with one treasure-bearing creature and two (less sentient?) creatures that attack yet seem to have no tending ability. I've been bloodbursting the two that don't tend as I go around hunting the other one. I'm not sure whether this is helping or not.

1. No, not besides regular HP regen, and the bleeder should far outweigh that.

2. I would say no. They changed spells like Disease and what have you so that you have to be in the same grounds to gain exp when the creature does finally die and rot away. You dont need to be in the same room, however.

3. I would say yes. As long as you remove a sufficient amount of the creatures Hp's, you will be given a share of the EXP. This used to be a common strategy with Mants and Thraks. I have not heard of any changes to this. As so long as your in the area, you should get EXP.
