Math about penetration

Brutusmax1mus

Hey y'all. Thanks for help in advance!

Could some one be so kind as to shed light on the math behind penetration? What's the highest you have?

Can you use someone who had 27k both resistances in pvp for example?

From @Asarye's thread on TF we have the base damage and mitigation equations:

BaseDamage = Tooltip * AttackBonus * DefendBonus * (1- Mitigation)

Mitigation = ((Resist - Debuff)*(1 - %Penetration) - FlatPenetration) / (Level * 1000)

Note that the Mitigation cannot go below 0 if your penetration exceeds that of your target. Level is a value from 1-50.

Not sure for magic builds because they get the extra 5200 penetration,

But I'm pretty sure 20K is doable.

5200 Sharpened weapons
1350 Minor Fracture/Brach
1650 Crusher Enchantmetn
5200 Major Fracture/Breach
5200 Maximum Champion points in piercing and spell penteration
2600 Night mother's Gaze
2900? Roar of Alkosh
5200 Light Armor passives

That's over 26K penetration

The resistance cap is 33K and EQUALS 50% mitigation, but PVP tanks often go past it because of the High possible penetration numbers

PVE dungeon bosses have around 18K resistance, so DPS should shoot for 13K penetration without Major Fracture/Breach so they
don't over-penetrate

For Magic users, This just means sharpend wapons, Minor Breach, Light armor passives, and the crusher enchant

Stam builds Need another 5200, so the Night mother's Gaze set plus about 40 CP in Piercing should do the trick
