Version history /14
VersionChanges
3.25.0
  • The Puncture Skill Gem now requires a Bow, while the new Puncture of Shanking Transfigured Gem requires a Dagger, Claw, or Sword.
  • Puncture: No longer has Added Attack Physical Damage at all gem levels. It now has 168% Effectiveness of Base and Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 135%), scaling up to 205% at gem level 20 (previously 165%). Now has a Mana cost of 8 at gem level 1, scaling up to 14 at gem level 20 (previously 6 at all gem levels).
    • 3.24.0
  • Tornado Shot: Now has an Attack Speed Multiplier of 80% of base (previously 100%), and now uses the same bow animation as the Puncture Skill Gem. It now has a Mana Cost of 10 at gem level 1 (previously 8), scaling up to 12 at gem level 20 (previously 10). Quality now provides 0-40% increased Projectile Speed instead of "Fires +0-1 secondary Projectile".
    • 3.23.0
    Puncture:
    3.20.0
  • Fixed a bug where modifiers to the duration of bleeding or poison on you could not apply to bleeding or poison which was a skill duration (from enemy Puncture or Viper Strike skills).
  • Fixed a bug where modifiers that make ailments deal damage faster incorrectly lowered the duration of poisons twice, resulting in lowering total damage dealt over the lifetime of the poison debuff. Also fixed this issue for bleeding from the Puncture Skill (non-Puncture bleeding and ignite were unaffected by this bug).
  • Fixed a bug where Swift Affliction's "less Duration of Supported Skills and Damaging Ailments they inflict" did not apply correctly for bleeding from skills other than Puncture.
    • 3.17.0
  • Burning Arrow: Now deals 200% of base Attack Damage at gem level 1 (previously 150%), up to 300% at gem level 20 (previously 214%). Also now has 200% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 150%), up to 300% at gem level 20 (previously 214%). Now has an Attack Speed of 70% of base (previously 90%). Now has a Mana cost of 7 at gem level 1 (previously 5), up to 12 at gem level 20 (previously 8). Now uses the same Bow animation as Puncture.
  • Vaal Burning Arrow: Now deals 280% of base Attack Damage at gem level 1 (previously 200%), up to 400% at gem level 20 (previously 284%). Also now has 280% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 1 (previously 200%), up to 400% at gem level 20 (previously 284%). Now has an Attack Speed of 70% of base (previously 90%). Now uses the same Bow animation as Puncture.
    • 3.16.0
    • The following Skills no longer have “+0-2 to Melee Strike Range”: Dominating Blow, Double Strike, Vaal Double Strike, Dual Strike, Elemental Hit, Frenzy, Infernal Blow, Pestilent Strike, Puncture, Riposte, Static Strike, Smite, Viper Strike, and Wild Strike.
    3.15.0
  • The Stygian Microtransation versions of Fireball, Vaal Fireball, Firestorm, Frost Blades, and Puncture now use a Stygian Ignite effect. The Stygian Microtransation for Consecrated Path now uses a Stygian Holy Ignite effect.
  • Puncture Base Damage has been buffed by approximately 20%, and Bleeding Damage by approximately 25% for all monsters that use a puncture skill.
    • 3.9.0
  • A lot of ranged attack skills have received major visual improvements, including the basic wand and bow attacks, Burning Arrow, Barrage and Puncture.
    • 3.7.0
    Puncture
    3.4.0
  • The following melee skills now gain additional melee weapon range every 7 levels, up to +2 at level 20 (and +3 at level 21): Dual Strike, Elemental Hit, Frenzy, Glacial Hammer, Heavy Strike, Molten Strike, Puncture, Riposte, Static Strike, Viper Strike, Wild Strike, Vigilant Strike, Ancestral Protector, Dominating Blow.
    • 3.0.0
  • Puncture and Viper Strike now have a special property of treating Bleeding and Poison respectively as Skill Effects, allowing more bonuses to their duration on top of modifiers to Ailment Duration.
  • Puncture's description has been updated. Puncture now applies Bleeding for 8 seconds.
    • 2.5.0
  • Bleeding effects from non-puncture sources are now affected by the same (additive and multiplicative) duration modifiers as bleeding effects from puncture sources.
    • 2.1.0
  • After fixing a bug that caused the bleed from Atziri's puncture skill to do negligible damage, you should expect to take more bleed damage from her spear puncture attacks. It now deals around deals 12 times more damage when not moving and 2.5 times as much damage when moving.
    • 2.0.0
  • We've added new puncture animations for all player characters.
  • Puncture: Now grants 1% increased skill effect duration per 1% quality (was 1.5% per 1% quality).

    Puncture


    Puncture is an attack skill that applies the Bleed ailment to enemies it hits, causing them to take physical damage over time that increases while the target is moving. Bleed applied with this skill deals more damage than usual.



    Mechanics

    Unlike other sources of bleed, Puncture's bleed ailment lasts 8 seconds and is affected by % increased Skill Effect Duration modifier, including the Increased Duration Support support gem.

    For mechanics of the bleed effect itself, see Bleed.
