Recently when I have been updating my Pierce caster Infiltrator build I have noticed that Pierce items in general don’t have casting speed. I understand that initially Pierce was meant to be a pure melee damage, but Grim Dawn, being an amazing game in terms of build diversity and opportunities, offers players a change to play a Pierce caster archetype. However, casting speed on most Pierce items is missing and seeing how one of the masteries that caters to Pierce caster archetype - Inquisitor - lacks casting speed in general, I propose adding casting speed to some Pierce jewellery/off-hands/weapons. Here are some examples of key Pierce items that could have casting speed:
-
Rimetongue set - a caster set with caster stats except it lacks casting speed. 5-8% Casting speed would fit the amulet pretty well:
- Different Pierce rings and amulets:
- Pierce Caster weapons and (one) off-hand:
Now I am not saying that all of those items should immediately be buffed with casting speed. It’s up to Crate to decide. But it would be really nice if at least some of those would get that casting speed. It would be a huge quality of life improvement for Pierce casters.
