Piercing Attack

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Two weapons Fires Magic Arrows Explosive Arrows Piercing Attack Attack Rating AR vs Demons AR vs Undead % Attack Rating Defense Enhanced Defense Defense per hit % Defense Defense vs Melee Defense vs Missile Target Defense Ignore Defense Block Chance to Cast On Attack On Striking When Struck Gives arrows, bolts, javelins and throwing axes and knives chance to pierce which sums with that of the Amazon's Pierce skill and other Piercing Attack items. >100% chance is redundant. Piercing occurs whenever a hit-check is successful or skipped (auto-hit). Subsequent blocking of the missile will prevent it applying its damage and modifiers to that target, but won't prevent it from piercing. The missile can pierce a maximum of four times, allowing it to hit up to five targets. If a hit-check is unsuccessful but piercing is successful, the missile may appear to pierce its target and even apply graphical effects, but it does not actually do so: damage and modifiers are not applied to subsequent targets. After an unsuccessful hit-check on the first Zealot, Freezing Arrow appears to pierce and explode on the second Zealot, but he is neither damaged nor frozen.
