5 medium 2 heavy which also affected these results.

Erosion 1cp = 7781 magik pen
Peircing 1cp = 7781 physical pen
1 axe w/sharp = 7918m(+137)/17585p(+9804)
1 mace w/sharp = 7918m(+137)/17585p(+9804)
mace w/sharp + axe w/sharp = 8055m(+137)/31838p(+14253)
- mace+s/axe+s + immovable brute (5120 resist) = 8157m(+102)/43388p(+11550)
- mace+s/axe+s + phase (640 resist)= 8069m(+14)/33160p(+1322)
- mace+s/axe+s + immovable brute + phase = 8171m(+116)/45030p(+13192)
Then add another 5120 from major fracture and you have 50k+ armor pen.

Where do you get these values? addon? because as i said addons may be ui bugged, the only reliable tests are damage tests, that s why i tryed.

Btw, I tested Worm Cult, Necropotence, Ebon, and Sun with the same method to bug out Twice-Born, and could not get any of them to bug out while not being worn. That doesn't mean that there's no way to bug out Necropotence, but if there is, it's not working the same way as Twice-Born Star.

There is a Mist-Form exploit around where you get perma 75% dmg reduction, maybe you can activate those sets the same way as that mistform thingie? I do not know how to though.

Thanks for the testing. I hope the reports of people bugging Necropotence then are false as it is likely ZoS is only plugging the hole with the way the Mundus exploit is done.

Necropotence seems to only be exploitable to sorcerers. Everyone I've heard about it from is a sorc, think it has something to do with having a summoned pet. I (and Dave) tested it with NB shade's but to no avail, it probably has to be a toggle. @Daveheart and I have been making sure that no other 5 pieces are broken in the same way Twice Born is, and have found nothing that operates the same way thankfully. Now they just need to fix overload exploits, this supposed necropotence one, perma mist form, and some people getting infinite mundus stones (not twice born related). Maybe then we can finally enjoy competitive play!

I did test necropotence on a Sorc and I did not get it to work, neither the Mist-Form thingie, but then again, i am a Sorc newb so i might have missed smth. Maybe some different mechanic i am not aware of i guess.

Thanks for all your testing guys! you're awesome. It's too hard to keep up with all these exploits and with soooo many available it's really an unfair advantage.

Here's too hoping @ZOS_RichLambert can get this insanity cleared up for 2.1.x

Glad to see at least (and at last) some exploits are being fixed.
Let's hope the leader boards will be cleared with next update too.
(anyway, there will still be only templars in it in no time.)

You can get topscore with every class, its just, with the wrong tacitcs its not gonna work, no matter what you do. with Arena Stacking tactic you might get to a max of 12k. But not "more"

And ofc there will be templars, we have a army of templars ready to drop
