That is the bug with penetration and piercing. If you attack with it active and it proc's again on that attack, it behaves as though you didn't have the buff. I discovered it a while back and reported it. If you have penetrating or piercing active and do a good hit instead of perfect, it will do more damage than the perfect (if the effect proc's again). Have to hope on your hit with it active that the talisman fails to proc in order to get the buff. Stupid, but hopefully will be solved with the next update.
Hope that wasn't too confusing.![]()
