Puncturing Strikes, morphs advice.

I can't choose between Puncturing Sweeps and Biting Jabs.

I use Light Armor, Binding Javelin, Puncturing Strikes, Topling Charge, Immovable and Breath of Life. Which morph of Puncturing Strikes would you choose for such a build?

Healing 40% of damage done with my main (and only) damage ability, seems like a bloody good deal, but 70% crit chance against low health enemies sounds quite nice as well, so I am at a loss.

    I would suggest biting jabs as you already have heal in your bar Breath of Life.
    I personally use puncturing sweep instead of heal spell for DPS bar.

    I would go Puncturing. The Heal is amazing for soloing just about anything.

    Puncturing strikes and its morph actually scale their damage off of magicka and their crit chance off of weapon crit. Furthermore, they target armor rating and not spell resistance.

    In my opinion biting jabs is a little bit better. At least in PvP.

    I always reverse this. Yes, this is correct.

    IMO Puncturing Sweep's self-heal is too good to pass up. By the time Biting Jab's bonus comes into play your enemies are almost dead anyway, I prefer something that will help me outlast strong opponents as opposed to something that lets me finish off opponents who've already lost.
