Is there a Puncture build?

I have tried to find a puncture build but i cant find a up to date one.
Anyone got a link to a puncture build? I would love to try it.

Edit: i prefer using a bow

I have tried one with bow (puncture/crit) but split arrow was better...

It's called The Blood Reaper (2c on the market). And it's only fun until Merciless Act 3. Then, it's useless.

I doubt there is any good bow puncture build. Anything you add to it to make it AoE makes the bleeding damage insignificantly pointless.

It's arguably the best single target nuke in the game for hit-and-run builds, like physical split + puncture bow. You literally just hit a rare, any rare, once and then run around killing other things while watching him bleed to death. Not even funny, tbh.

A crit punture build might be viable though, never tried.

idk if this's death topic or not, but i personally think puncture is totally viable for a full build now, here're some points:

- Pure physical of course, and crit build would be much better of course.
- Single target is simple, there're nothing to argue.
- Curse is obviously vulnerability - more phys dmg and DOT, but best would be double curse, with crit weakness.
- For AOE: Puncture + lmp(gmp, but i think lmp is better) + pierce + life leech + crit dmg for 5L, 6th is phys proj dmg, but 5 is ok for crit puncture aoe.
- Must have unique: Drillneck quiver - the new unique quiver with pierce chance apply to dmg increase :D

Also a bit of lightning damage. With this crit, it would give +30% damage to the first hit, so more bleed damage.

Only phys portion is counted.

To OP - any phys/crit build can use puncture with a great success, both range and melee. From early on till lategame.

I guess he means shocking the enemy to do more bleed damage?

Puncture +LMP+ projectile Damage +faster attacks (+life leech +blood magic)

This worked pretty nice for me.

Took the Pierce node in the passive tree, then it felt like enough AoE.

You obviously want to do a Crit build, because higher damage spikes = more bleeding.

And you want to play it as a bow user, because monsters will be running around (towards you), while as melee they are standing still (around you).

I was wrong to think that shock stacks doesn't interact with dot. Checked it out, the guy is right. Light. dmg will help.
