Diablo II Classic had two beautiful 100% piercing bows: Stormstrike, and Doomslinger. They were both a FAVORITE among Mageazons, before they got wiped out by horrible balancing decisions with 1.07 and LoD. And no, it was NOT overpowered, anymore than using Freezing Arrow / Immolation Arrow + Pierce (the skill) was overpowered. And besides, you had to bend all your gear towards attaining high mana, and high mana regeneration, just to support it, otherwise you were only good for one or two shots, at most.
I admit, LoD broke D2 in alot of ways, but there WERE 100% pierce items out before LoD, and they caused no problems. It was more than just the introduction of such items. It was ALOT of other factors, as well.
