Those who argued with the Demon Hunter Karlei quickly learned that she could make her point with devastating effect.

Karlei's Point

This dagger turns the Demon Hunter's Impale into a self-sustaining damage machine: the skill deals massively more damage and also refunds Hatred whenever it hits a target already affected by the effect. The skill effectively pays for itself as long as you stay on the same enemy.

This makes the dagger the foundation of Impale builds that burn down a boss or an elite by rapidly repeating the skill. The Hatred return dissolves the typical resource crunch of this ability. Practical tip: focus your fire on a single target rather than spreading it, since the Hatred refund only triggers when you repeatedly hit the same already-affected enemy, ideally against bosses with a large health bar.

The Math Behind the Refund

Impale costs 20 Hatred and deals 750% weapon damage. When a throw hits an already impaled target, 15 Hatred come back - so every follow-up throw on the same enemy effectively costs just 5 Hatred. The first throw on a fresh target, however, pays full price. For the 300–375% damage bonus a high roll pays off; a Primal Ancient dagger brings the full 375%.

Runes at a Glance

  • Grievous Wounds adds 330% extra damage to critical hits.
  • Chemical Burn also burns the target for 500% weapon damage as Fire over 2 seconds.
  • Overpenetration pierces every enemy in a line and deals Cold damage.
  • Ricochet bounces to 2 more enemies within 20 yards and turns the damage into Lightning.
  • Impact knocks enemies back and has a 100% chance to stun them for 1.5 seconds.

Stats and Pairings

The fixed roll is +(858–1,049)–(1,028–1,304) Cold Damage, and the dagger rolls +626–750 Strength, Dexterity or Intelligence - Dexterity for the Demon Hunter. Damage %, Attack Speed, Life per Hit and a Socket are the other stats worth having. Karlei's Point is often combined with pieces such as The Shadow's Mask, The Shadow's Burden, The Shadow's Bane, The Shadow's Grasp and The Shadow's Heels, plus the Holy Point Shot quiver. The flavor text plays on the name: those who argued with the Demon Hunter Karlei quickly learned that she could make her point with devastating effect.
