When is it best to go all pen? When is it not?
What is a good amount for 1vX?
Does it affect regular spell damage or just crits?

✭✭✭✭Valentine was ganked and his death recap was full of Focused Aim although he couldn't actually see them due to bad lag at the server side.

✭✭✭✭✭I can't speak for pvp, but pve dungeon and trials enemies have a little over 18,000 resistance, so you want to get as close to that much penetration as possible without going over it or losing out on other stats.
My stamsorc has around 13.5k penetration just counting major fracture from the tank, champion points, and twice fanged serpent.PS4 / NA

✭✭If you are facing a lot of magSorcs, magWardens and magNBs, don't bother with much penetration as absorb shields completely ignore penetration.1 -
Minno✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Two PvP schools of thought currently:
- stack penetration. Some builds are using light armor, ele drain, and spell erosion for around 15000+ armor debuff.
- stack spell crit DMG. Only put a few points into spell erosion. 20% elfborn but place the rest of your points into master of arms/weapon light attack DMG and boost your dmg ass bainst shields.
Both have merits and drawbacks. Both don't work 100% on magic shields, but that's what CC is for.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire
