There are use cases where that is not a thing that happens, like in the group finder or just with random groups. You will not have 14000 self buffed penetration, without giving up other more important stats.
To directly answer your question, your penetration, with both target debuffs and self buffs needs to be around 16000 before either of the other mundai out damage the lover. That might sound high to you but in a good group, it is rather easy. To show this, simply download the spreadsheet in this thread and play around with some numbers in it.
Ok i get that in group play.
But i usually play in tamriel open world. So if you play alone (without groups) then you will have difficulties to have high penetration
Is it correct to say that if you play alone (no trials or dungeons) that then you should really try to first score 16K only on penetration before even considering spell critical and spell damage mundus stones ?
I feel like losing a lot of extra damage perks when investing all just in penetration .... not ?
