piercing mod for bstlord pre spires?

Glamrin

Staff Emeritus
As many other beastlords I'm having problems getting piercing mod to +25 pre spires and tur'ruj. (looking at fomelo it seems somewhat difficult (although not impossible if willing to sacrifice stats) with items from there too).
However, with new content added last couple of years there ought to be some good piercing mod items available?

Do anyone have suggestions for bst wearable piercing mod items?
the ones I'm currently aware of are:
shroud of ruinous fire (piercing +2, back item = bad)
helmet of stinging strikes (piercing +10)
glyph of piercing (piercing +3, ear)
contempt (piercing +5)
bloody cloak of the offering (piercing +10, and yeah not gonna drop shroud of misery for this :p)

from spires:
spire of penetration (piercing +10, ear)

Getting to +25 mod for spear of the szithri seems impossible... ?
 
The staff has said before that skill mods arent a right. (Although archery/backstab mods have been catered to so well they are probably almost exceptions). I would further tell you that as a bst, weapon melee strikes are a relatively small percentage of your total dps, and to not worry yourself over it. Bottom line: Cast savagery and cunning well (often and on the correct target - i'm looking at you tierilo)and noone will even care what your dps is .
 
Have you checked out the big table over on the Piercing article on the wiki? It may give you some more ideas, though I'm pretty ignorant of melee trends. Just keep your eye on that Class column as you're looking it over.

Also, don't discount that the Glyph of Piercing can be double-dipped if you exp both Seeds, which can go in both Ear AND Finger slots, though they are of course [LORE]. And on top of that, a third Glyph (totaling +9 Piercing just from bounties!) could conceivably be augged onto a very nice custom Thurg belt (on par with ~T9 belts if augged wisely). You just have to commit yourself to a lot of bounties, really, and the final payoff will feel well worth it.

Good luck, and sorry if none of this helped your cause! :p
