For PvE I would recommend non. There are much better ways of betting penetration than that and most well formed Trial groups will have enough Debuffs and Buffs to remove any and all resistance of the mobs.

That passive is total useless... If people have Sharpened, Major Breach + Major Fracture, Minor Breach + Minor Fracture, Night Mother Gaze, Piercing Weapon Glyph, etc. You dont need that passive at all, you will overpenetrate everything.. I was using Spinner set and my spell penetration was above the 19k, no point since in open world, max resistance of mobs is 10k and in Trials and Dungeons is 18k, so I switch my Spinner for a Mother's Sorrow and its waaaaaaay better...

Overworld is 9,100 and Trials and Dungeons are 18,200 to be precise :P

He got my point anyway... Stacking penetration passives and gear is kinda useless in pve right now if you already have a Sharpened weapon and debuffs, once you hit the 18k breach, all the other numbers above that are a waste. He rather try to get more critical or spell/weapon dmg. This for pve exclusively...

In pvp its a different story...
