1) I'm pretty sure that this isn't the case as people originally thought. It actually buffs your damage rather than lowering the bosses resistance despite what it says it does.
2) Even if it did, BRD gets a large chunk of its dps from DoTs, and those aren't affected by the piercing debuff since its not piercing damage, just physical damage.
