Just wondering how this works in combat. If I have 30k of both spell and physical res at what point does it go to zero?

    When someone has a combined penetration of 30k, then its in essence 'gone' or mitigated.

    Can someone hit 30k pen? I didn’t think it’s possible, how much pen do you get for 100 CP points?
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    At about 32k resistance, you hit the cap, which is 50% damage reduction. Penetration works in reverse from that.

    If you PVE, there is no point to going over the resistance cap.
    If you PVP, you can benefit from going over the cap to mitigate your opponent's penetration.

    In PVE, you want enough penetration as a group to fully penetrate the boss's resistances without going over.
    In PVP, you want as much as you can without sacrificing too much in other areas of your build, depending on how you like to play.
