Can I ask about Pierce for archers? I've got 1 pt, and used it on a handful of occasions. As far as I can tell it hasn't ever hit the second target. Do I aim t the back of the line of monsters, or at the first one?

Interesting point...

With Manathrust you aim at the most distance target and it follows the path you see. If beaming is on it will go through all targets in the way.

I would assume that Pierce happens the same way...

Try it!

Yes, the trick is to aim at the back it will only go up to your target, but hit everything inbetween.

I find that rather non-intuitive, but now that I know, I LIKE it.

Yes but the other solution (to make it beam to the max distance anyway) is not good because you might want to avoid hitting an ally there

Well, that is about how a piercing arrow might work in real life.
