Desirability

Access to penetration-branded ammunition is the biggest advantage crossbows have over bows, but Piercer gets around that issue (and without the ammo limitations a crossbow-wielder would face). Piercer's excellent damage enchantment and ability to shoot through rows of enemies all at once make it an extremely desirable find for any archer, though they may wish to use a different bow for taking down single powerful foes.

History

Prior to 0.15, Piercer's enchantment bonus was +2, +10.

Prior to 0.14, Piercer had a vorpal brand instead of penetration.
