melee attack · the transfigured gem version of Puncture
Puncture of Shanking is a melee 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. Unlike the original skill, this transfigured version is a strike skill and can only be used with claws, daggers, and swords. It has a lower bleed duration, but has greater damage effectiveness, more damage with bleeding, and has increased critical strike chance against bleeding enemies.
Rewards close-range stabs with bonus bleed instead of long-range shots.
Level requirement: 4.
