Is it worth the hassle getting all those pierce nodes and stuff to replace my +1 arrow quiv?
If you have 6L item for pierce gem - yes, it worth. Crit quiver increase only dmg with crit. +1 arrow is good, but it is based on luck (it is can fly by). But pierce chans with drillneck increase your whole damage with projectiles (non-crit and crit).
P.S. So, you can try to make drillneck corrupted. Maybe you lucky and get +1 arrow on it =)
P.P.S. I try to use and +1 arrow with weapon ele gem instead of pierce, but pierce + drillneck provide more dmg as it seems to me.

hey guys im trying this build in bloodlines atm and it works quite fine.
thing is atm i attempt this build with a lightning coil + purity of lightning. sitting at 4,2k hp 55% crit (without charges ) and 4,5k dps at lvl 76.
but im not sure maybe switching to belly + herald of ash would be better?
belly attempt seems to bring quite some bonuses : more deeps cause herald of ash and less int +res requirements.
yet im not sure if its to much defense i lose since : i get 500 hp from belly what i believe is still less effective hp then with coil and i would lose quite some evasion and the extra lightning res.
Thx mate. I tried that and like it. Have you tried drillneck or would you say it'S not worth it with a decent +1 arrow?
Gz on the uber kill btw. With charges and atziri flask I'm at 31k ts with lmp and 40k puncture. Below is my gear. If you have the time maybe you could give me some pointers what to upgrade before even attempting uber. Normal Atziri is no problem although I only have around 4k life. I've seen people do uber with this little life and they didn't get 1shot by the spears. They had way more dps though.
Shoudl i even try without a 6l puncture?
For mapping I use HoT - CoH - Ass Mark but for Atziri I change to PCoCS. I use all three heralds with the charisma cluster. I could respec out of Vaal Pact and change my Amu for a better dps one. With new boots and some gear changes I could be at ~4.3k life. Maybe that would be enough?

omg, you got a pretty good rare quiver and got +1 Arrow on it. Awesome! Use that with LMP - damage will be higher than Drillneck + Pierce Gem I bet (I usually don't look on tooltip, it does not calculate multiple projectiles I bet too).
Comparison:
+1 Arrow, allows LMP = +50% More Damage (means, you don't take the -50% Less Projectile Damage from gem)
Crit Chance and Multi does a lot in this build, good values on those is imho worth more than Drilneck itself
Drillneck needs at least 3 passive points to get the +30% pierce to get 100% cap with Pierce gem, but the first two are not bad though (+10% Projectile Damage).
Drillneck although means you need 1 more link for both Puncture and TS to get the increased damage.
But Drillneck is "only" increased damage (yeah, 100% is still very high)
Instead of Pierce gem you could use Increased Critical Strikes, or PCoC (I usually get charges from CoH with HoT; although it can be usefull on bosses like atziri where there are not a lot of adds) or Increased Crit Damage if you did not get it already.

In short: Damn, I would use that +1 Arrow quiver
Thx man. Yeah I think that's the better option. Tried to reach for the stars though :D

Big mistake. Not +50% more Damage . Just +20%. You remove GMP with "50% Less Projectile Damage" but add LMP with "30% Less Projectile Damage".
I don't sure that 4 projectiles with LMP better than 5 projectiles with GMP + Drillneck.
Also, when a single target attack via Puncture two arrows fly misses sometimes in different directions, but not at the target.

Frenzy + GMP + CoH + Assasin's Mark get enough charges. If map with curse immune or boss with curse immune just switch "CoH + Assasin's Mark" to "Increase crit chance + PCoC" and don't care about charges.
Also with 40% pierce chance (drillneck + passiv nodes) our frezy + gmp often peirce and course whole packs of mobs and we do more damage and more crits.

My shame :(
Thought LMP had no drawback except mana multi.
Yeah, I also always try to get charges elsewhere, don't like to sacrifice a link to gems like PCoC.
