you are hunting horned acolytes, aren't you? that mobs have critical hit and piercing strike, and they have high damage too, if i was you, i should try to get more defense than their attack (1094-1195 in the fsguide), you'll die several times (2%). If you get enough defense with 3 items or less you should combine the other items to get enough damage to kill them with less than 4hits.

Piercing strike only activates if the mob hits you (you are using an armor setup), if you use a defensive setup, the mob doesn't hit you (98%) and piercing strike doesn't activates.
If you use an armor setup against mobs with piercing strike and you want to be safe, your armor has to be at least 75% higher than the damage of the mob. example, if the mob has 1000 damage your armor has to be at least 1750. that is because PS reduces your armor till 50%. If you don't have enough armor you are going to be killed everytime mob activates PS and you don't activate something to block that PS ( reinforced armor,nullify, Dogde, Force shield, Last ditch). I'm facing now mobs with 525 max damage, i use an armor setup with 1200 armor, even when the mob activates PS it only do me 1 damage.
If you use a defensive setup you are goig to be safe 98% of the time.It is said in this forum that if the piercing strike of the mob is higher than 20 the best option is the defensive setup, if you can not reach the amount of armor needed, of course.
