So I'm building a Brutus' scepter build and am trying to pick an armour to use.

I am going to buy a 6L of whatever I get but I'm wondering about using Lioneye's Vision with the lvl 15 pierce.

I'm just wondering whether the projectiles from Molten strike will be affected by the pierce gem AND if so, wouldn't that make this armour the best for the build? Or would a 6L with added strength be better?

Any ideas would be appreciated!

P.S Forgot I was also wondering if the mod on gripped gloves would work as well.

I think the Pierce has to be Socketed in the weapon

I dont understand why would it have to be in the weapon if you are modifying the gem with the item mod?

Lioneye's Vision
Crusader Plate
Armour: (1284 to 1498)
Requires Level 59, 160 Str
5% reduced Movement Speed (Hidden)
(200-250)% increased Armour
+(60-100) to maximum Life
0.4% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Mana
Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 15 Pierce
+20% chance to be Pierced by Projectiles

Even with 14.5% More projectile damage? Seems to me loosing out on 46 str and some res for a "more" Multiplier would be worth it

molten strike is a ground effect , it cannot pierce or chain or fork

Best chest is going to be belly or coil or rare high armor/life/resists w/ str roll.

It doesn't have to pierce to get the "more" multiplier from the gem though.
