'''Required Level:''' 30<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Critical Strike, Penetrate<br />
'''Synergies:''' None<br>'''Passive EffectDetails:''': A chance that your missile will continue through its victim. This is a very powerful passive skill since it affects any and all missile weapons you employ gives the Amazon's projectiles, javelins, bolts, or arrows, a chance to damage, pass througha target and continue on, and then damage another creature. When using possibly hitting a Plague Javelin second (or enchanted Arrowthird, this can be especially devastatingor fourth) enemy. Also, consider Each target takes the full damage potential if you are using of the Strafe attack, including all possible skillbonuses, elemental hits, etc. Some recommend maximizing this skill at 20, however the benefit of additional points drops off significantly. You can decide how many points * Pierce is most noticeable when monsters are enough for you. If you cannot think of in a better skill tight cluster or spell to spend a point intolong row, spend it on Piercesuch as in narrow hallways. Lead monsters into * Pierce pairs very well with Lightning Fury, but helps a line so you can take full advantage lot on all of Piercethe bow skills (especially Strafe) and other ranged attacks as well.

Pierce's true power is revealed with a look at the odds of hitting multiple targets. More points don't make that big a difference in the odds of hitting two enemies, but the odds are compounded when figuring if a given shot will hit three or four or five enemies. This makes a huge difference when using a skill that triggers on each hit, such as Lightning Fury or Immolation Arrow.
