Puncture deals physical damage to an enemy, as well as reducing their armor and taunting them. The Ransack morph increases your Physical Resistance for the duration, while Pierce Armor reduces the target's armor even further.

Notes

• This ability is mostly designed for tank roles. If you are in a group and not playing as the tank, you should probably avoid using it, because it can make the tank's job harder if multiple people are taunting the same enemy.
• Ransack is a recommended morph for the Living Shadow build, while Pierce Armor is recommended for Bastion of Light.
• The Puncturing Remedy set from Dragonstar Arena will restore your Health and increase your Spell and Physical Resistance when you use this ability.
