You would have to drop the backstab mod on mercy, that would be awful for numerous reasons . +Piercing is not rare its just rare on raid gear, you can get a ton of it through low end items but the moment you hit the raid game its non existent outside of your thaz hat and maybe one other item i forgot(the orator dagger woah)
Just seems like archery for instance is alot easier to come by then +bs and piercing. Rogs without a nemi are kinda limited on what they can do to keep the 25 bs mod. Just getting thaz bp and gloves give them +20 to archery.
Casting skill mod (see resent patch) is nearly none existent on raid gear. I would be a great thing if you devs could see it in your stone cold hearts to add a little here and there. =)
Swiftshot +5
Wristband of the stalker +3
MQ aug +5
But if you consider when rangers use archery we only use archery and rogues BS AND auto attack it makes sense that it'd be hard to max both piercing and BS without making compromises.

The amount of + piercing mod items that are in the mid teir i think are lacking a lil bit. You can get a few very low tier items that have piercing and some high tier stuff but everything in the middle seemed to disappear.
Keep in mind what's on the wiki is only a matter of what has been added to the wiki. So a lack of an item in a certain range may mean that we simply haven't added them (I know I tend to add from very low or very high end toons.) If you want to check another mod, you can go to
But keep in mind, that will ONLY display items that have been reformatted, so there will be things missing. Just one of the many reasons the reformatting project is so important.
