Hello, 1st I realize most guys on this game have no idea about penitration, j/k.

Seriously, I have heard bosses have 12,500 and some have 18,500.. vma - HM trials etc. Working on a build that runs with about 13k solo without the Major buff.. is that over kill or not enough???

    Dungeon and trial enemies have 18200 resistances . 13k solo is a lot more than required . 5280 Major Fracture + 2k Kragh + 5280 Sharpened weapons will give you 12500 penetration already . I use Night Mother and reach 15000 . 1 Alkosh proc is enough for me to ignore all armor . If you have even more than this , it is a waste in trials and dungeons . For solo , it is good .

    Overland mobs, even boses that I can tell, been using berserker rage on my stamblade for fun, have 9100 armor, four man dungeons and trails have double that, so 18200. So with sharpened+the passives from light or sharpened+major breach, will get the max out of the damage.

    I think it also depends alot on the trial and the group you are with. A good example are 2nd boss in vmol, where both tanks are split up. Also even if the debuf applies to the boss, there is also adds that needs to die as well. So you can calculate how it could work in theory on a static boss, but it wont always work when you play. I personal noticed better dps when using "overpenetrate" builds. Imh its not the end of the world if you sometimes overpenetrate with 1 or 2k in between, as long as it doesnt happend constantly. In very stable and good groups, their buffs will be spot on constantly, but only a few groups are able to have that stable raids.

    So in other words, if you want to post high numbers at all time (aoe fight standard meta post omg look at my number I'm so awesome), go with overpenetrate builds. If you care about single target only, adjust your build to your group.
