Talk:Pierces

Attacks which pierce

Vapor Blade also pierces, if I remember right. Could anybody confirm this? Gnarf 09:06, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes! It does. Thank you for reminding me, it's my favorite elementalist skill because it pierces! :D Mediggo 09:08, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Secondary effects

Can anyone confirm if secondary effects such as bleeds, knockdowns, etc are also applied to the pierced targets? Or if weapon procs (% chance to bleed) are triggered for every target hit? -Sami, 15:19, 12 August 2012 (BST)

Some effects might be only applied to target of the attack, but I think skills like Bleeding Shot would also bleed any foe it hits after its original target. If not, then piercing only works as "anti-glancing" ability. Mediggo 14:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Target limit

I originally thought piercing attacks only pierced three enemies, but testing with Necrotic Grasp and Unyielding Blast shows they hit up to five. Are there any skills that hit less or more targets? Might also be a good idea to make note of this on the page since the current description makes it sound like there's no limit. tanpopo 14:57, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

The default number of targets for any sort of AoE is 5, unless a skill specifies otherwise. —Dr Ishmael 15:35, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
