Any insight as to why you don't recommend Vilehand TU for midgame? I spent forever getting good shimmering craft gloves only to have them drop my Eviscerate damage by ~30k and my Impale damage by 60k. Is the additional pierce really worth it? I'm at 157 without craft gloves and 178 with them.
Thank you very much for the great guide! I fully expect this to be nerfed next season lol
Tooltip damage for poison is an approximation of your total damage over the full duration of your poison and pierce also affects poison duration as well as DPS, so I would be very careful before citing the character sheet. That said, I think getting your one item poison source from gloves is correct here over going for 170 pierce.

because all of the stats are actually relevant and the duration extension is 2 seconds instead of just 1.
