Having pierce over 199 is pointless anyways. You need 135 for normal enemies, 150 for bosses, and 199 for Phoboss, deimoss and Samael.

135 for farming (not in lab), 170 for bosses, 190/199 for special bosses.

Mobs in Labs tier 9 and 10 have 100% elemental pierce. Says so on the rift stones I think.
People advise to overcap resistances to counteract this, for example in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=71099&hilit=phoboss+pierce

My question:
Presumably, the pierce also applies to my minions. Does overcapping ressists also work for minions? The character screen says max minion res is 75%. Does getting more minion res (up to 175?) help them survive better in labs 9/10?

Only relevant for tanky summons like veil king or bats obviously

The 'Short Question Thread' is now a 3221 page behemoth with 32,203 posts! It's probably the longest thread? That's an oxymoron I would think... and yes I'm a moron, but that's besides the point. :hammer:

Why are item triggered resurrects just lame skeletons now?
All themed uniques with resurrects are ruined, no more cool army of random monsters.
What is up with that.

Anyone got tips on the targeting of Rising Dawn? I'm testing out the Relic and it just seems to shoot in a straight line and is very tough to land on any kind of monster that doesn't stand still for 5-10 seconds. Is there a trick to using the skill or do I just need to get gud?

Edit: Nvm got it all figured out.

Is shackles of ice not working right? I just found it as a relic and took it for a test run and it doesn't seem to freeze anything in place.
