Skill Gem Feedback - Puncture - Forum

fair enough, although the new viper strike will be in similar definition soon it seems. =p although in that case it states "as base" damage so its clearer that its step by step.	Posted by soul4hdwn on Aug 15, 2014, 2:14:52 PM Quote this Post
I suspect that Puncture is going to be baller in the upcoming patch 1.2. Figured I would give it a go. However one thing I noticed, and don't particularly like about it is how visually indistinctive it is from an ordinary attack, esp with bows. Half the time I can't tell where I'm shooting as a result. If it had some sort of bloody aura around it then I could see what is going on. Here's hoping.

it has a sound effect instead, then the DoT part has a visual.	Posted by soul4hdwn on Aug 16, 2014, 2:17:29 PM Quote this Post
The new Shadow start is a godsend for Puncture builds. I like the fact that it's not very flashy when you fire it. Feels like you're a sneaky assassin. Last edited by Incompetent on Aug 24, 2014, 10:04:33 PM	Posted by Incompetent on Aug 24, 2014, 10:03:13 PM Quote this Post

" Mark_GGG wrote: There are (since the DoT refactor) four sources of damage: 1) Attack Damage (includes any attack-only modifiers such as melee) - always has base damage come from a weapon. 2) Spell Damage. Base comes from the skill, affected by spell modifiers. 3) "Secondary" Damage. Not affected by spell or attack modifiers, but still hits. Used for stuff like the explosion from Infernal Blow. 4) Damage over time. Not affected by spell or attack modifiers (because it's a separate class of damage), but anything that cares about the type of damage (fire, elemental, chaos, etc), or what deals it (trap, minion) will apply. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/986804 Last edited by nameforgame on Sep 1, 2014, 3:35:18 AM	Posted by nameforgame on Sep 1, 2014, 3:26:39 AM Quote this Post
Just want to clarify,Puncture will be nerf? i hope they wont.	Posted by deadpersonz2 on Nov 4, 2014, 6:36:07 AM Quote this Post
" Things that will directly affect bleed damage from Puncture (off the top of my head): Damage modifiers Damage over time modifiers Physical damage modifiers Projectile damage modifiers (if applied with a projectile) Area damage modifiers (if applied with an AoE) Totem damage modifiers (if applied with a totem) Trap damage modifiers (if applied with a trap) Mine damage modifiers (if applied with a mine) Now that the early release of the 1.3 skill tree has Increased Melee Damage nodes in the Templar starting area, so these nodes also effect the bleed damage over time?

Nowhere in that list is 'Melee Damage' mentioned.	Posted by Vipermagi on Dec 5, 2014, 5:18:25 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post

...? There have been Melee Damage nodes since forever (look at the current tree?), Strength has always granted Melee Damage, both Melee Phys Supports grant Melee Damage as the name implies. It's not exactly an uncommon modifier.	Posted by Vipermagi on Dec 6, 2014, 11:45:35 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post
