Puncture will now hit up to two targets.

From build 713.

Is this a lowkey huge boost to polearms? One of the main reasons blades is so great is that most of it's skills hit two targets.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

 

Yeah, it's a good boost to then. Running two people through with a polearm and DOTting both is well in line with the "polearms hits more targets" idea and differentiates it from rend some.

Seems a great change.

 

makes sense to hit at-least 2. i think of puncture as penetrating a target completely. that's hott

 

I am using Polearms in my build now and this makes it even nicer Oi Sir's! I think I shall run you through!

 

I cant wait to try this out.

 

Isn't Puncture also supposed to ignore avoidance now?

 

Hitting two with Puncture has been around for a while.
The fact that even when Puncture misses, the bleeding effect still gets applied AND the bleeding stacks, makes Puncture extremely good. It's so good that I have stopped using the Ice Fist Combos - Icy Puncture does away with the bleed, and the need to prep two glyphs ultimately makes the combo weaker in terms of rate of output than normal Puncture's guaranteed stacking bleed.
Pull/Skewer/Sweep to keep them where I want them (right in front of me) and turn them into a pin cushion with as many Punctures as possible.

Meanwhile, I've dropped Push from my deck, it is counter intuitive to the rest of the Polearm skillset. If only it had the same 100% reliability of Pull always moving the target (the Ice Fist Combo making it 100% is nice, but it feels like a waste when Glacial Glissade is the only reason I have Ice Fist bloating my Deck, how about some more elemental combos here?).

 

I don't know if it's intended or not but it also works on undead, which is nice. The bleed portion that is.

 

This has got to be a bug, unless the blade equivalent also works on the undead.

 

rend does not work on undead.
