    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.
