![]() | Support Perforate with this gem to Maim enemies, dealing more physical damage and slowing their movement. Use this to slow monsters and make them easier to avoid. |
![]() | This gem causes Perforate to deal more damage. A simple but invaluable way to quickly kill enemies. |
![]() | Close Combat improves your damage against monsters close to you. As Perforate only hits nearby enemies (without Sand stance), this support is a valuable way to increase your damage. Travel Skills are also quicker after you hit enemies with this gem. Travel skills move you quickly to avoid danger. |
![]() | Deal more physical damage and Impale enemies with the Impale debuff. Impaling enemies stores some of your damage on the enemy. For the next 5 hits on that enemy you deal extra stored damage. You can impale the same enemy more than once for extra damage from attacks. |
![]() | Cause Perforate to deal much more physical damage, but reduce any elemental damage it deals to zero. Try not to get any modifiers that grant lightning, fire, cold or chaos damage with this support gem. Only physical damage will be increased by this gem. |
![]() | Greatly increase Perforate's attacking speed by performing three attacks in quick succession, dealing more damage on the second and third attacks. You cannot stop or move while multistriking. This gem greatly improves damage but be careful not to get stuck while monsters damage you. |
