    And as far as i know, there isnt a way for us console plebs to find out how much penetration we have.

    Could maybe go through our armor, weapons, and passives and do the math...

    So I Googled it...

    "A bullet passing through a threat and continuing with the potential to cause unintentional damage to a bystander or object is a situation commonly described as over-penetration. The occurrence could be a bad thing if you shoot someone who is attacking you while your wife is standing behind the attacker."

    Well.... That was unexpected.

    And shame on everyone trying to discuss game mechanics.

    Say an enemy has 18k resistance. If you have 18k penetration, the enemy essentially has zero resistance at that point. Any more penetration you add will not do any good, as the enemy cannot have negative resistance, so you'd be better off adding another stat instead of more penetration.

    i am willing to agree with that theory and it probably is the truth.
    but i would like to know:

    where did that knowledge come from ?
    a developer ? or just someone [an eso player] theory ?

    Lol to the comments. Anywho, most if not all NPCs have roughly 18k spell and physical resistance, so having any more than that for pve is overkill. However, with pvp, a lot of players have high resistances, so high penetration would be alright. Like on an ideal build with gold sharp weapons, spinners, CP, and the light armor passive, I can get over 19k penetration, but that build's purely for pvp.
