Sharpened Trait

Julianos

Hey, after TG sharpened value changed to flat value and i got confused it says; increases armor and spell penetration by 2580 this means my attacks ignore 2580 armor ? Or it refers to something else ?

There are two differences between armour debuff and armour penetration

1. Armour debuffs like Major Fracture/Breach apply to the target so everyone hitting it benefits from it. Armour penetration only applies for you.
2. Armour debuff is applied first followed by percentage penetration then flat penetration

Yep.

Sharpened is now better vs light armored targets and worse vs heavy armored targets.

It used to penetrate a percentage which gave heavy armor users a bigger disadvantage.
