How I believe GA and pierce should work together

[WarBlade]

A bug (in the computer term) is a glitch or a problem with a certain file that was NOT meant to happen.

Which is a fairly good reason why people refer to this as the Pierce/GA bug or similar.

Now see how silly you are? Who are you to say that blizzard did not mean to have GA pierce more than once? eh?

The same people that repeat Blizzard's own comments on the situation in saying it's a bug.

Secondly, why would you say GA piercing multiple times a an *imbalance*? Why, that would be as absurd as saying that a sorceress's elemental masteries are an inbalace.

Interestingly, those Masteries do represent an imbalance. When you consider that +Skills to a single skill tree can yield exponential increases that most other builds can't match and throw in +Skill Charms to facilitate that (among other numerous skill sources), then you have an imbalance in the making.

in my opinion, there should be NO item that gives 100% pierce

I'm inclined to agree although I think the criteria should be both item and skill combined focused on the idea of repeat piercing rather than just saying that 100% is wrong. Personally I don't mind a 100% Pierce chance, but having 100% for the monster after and the monster after that should be stomped on, but that's just my opinion. With regards to GA I'm happy about the proposed 1.10 change - It's the only one that makes sense to me.

ALSO!!! THIS POST IS SILY AND UTTERLY ABSURD!!!

I agree. So why did you post it?

PS...people should really THINK about it before they post it.....

. . . no comment :huh:
