Good morning, Was hoping to gather more data/validation on how armor penetration works, I want to find the best suited weapons for pvp (I know that for pve armor pen is really good on stacked NPCs, maces/2hhammers). I’ve researched a bit and to my understanding, currently Armor pen or straight dam…

[image] Sable00: I’ve researched a bit and to my understanding, currently Armor pen or straight damage? - #13 by Xevyr armor pen works in a way that it just subtracts the same amount of % from the DR % from armor. Yea, that’s old, I deleted that post in case anybody lands there again …

[image] Sable00: I don’t see the reason why people are going for more raw damage with the great axes when it only has 12% armor pen (UPGRADED), I didn’t do any research. Just crafted all starmetal weapons and played with them for a bit to get a feel of how they performed. Did the Wine Cellar …

HI, I feel like the most important factor should be the running attack, seems to me all 3 of the 2 handed variants have the same animation speed. I am looking for numbers and data though, I want to min/max for efficiency. Thanks

[image] Sable00: Is this math/formula correct or not? Not. Armor penetration was changed in 3.0 to make armor more viable and is now a percentage. 55% AP would only reduce 55% DR to 24.75%.

[image] Xevyr: (I would like to point out though that in ~3 weeks the game is updating and all of this might turn upside down again :smiley: ) This is just a quick anecdotal experience, and I was trying to avoid getting ganked by something nasty. But I did notice some weapons not performing a…

That is most likely due to the fact that they decided… after several years… to suddenly start using separate heavy damage values for ALL weapons… :man_facepalming: (Up to now for most weapons light and heavy damage was the same and the heavy combos just used a higher multiplier on it - instead of b…

There we go, thank you so much Xevyr, you’ve been very active in the community for years I see, big props to you!

Star metal great axe 82 damage T4 Bladesmith, 87 dmg and 12% pen master weapon kit: 55%DR= 0,45 x 87 = 39,15 damage 12%AP= 0,55x (1- 0,12)= 0,55x 0,88= 0,484= 48,4%DR 0,516x87=44,892 damage 66dmg/ 45%AP hammer. 55%DR 0,55x(1- 0,45)= 0,55x0,55=0,3025= 30,25%DR 0,6975x 66=46,035damage If I und…

[image] Xevyr: Amor penetration That’s a Freudian slip if I ever saw one.

[image] Sable00: the strength or attack/damage multiplier based on the weapon type Primary attribute is +5% per point, secondary attribute is +0.5% per point. [image] Sable00: light/heavy attack That is… less easy to provide. Every attack in a combo from every weapon has its own multi…

From my testing on the beta, nothing has changed with weapon armor penetration from the posts above. An enemy with 50% DR hit with a weapon that has 50% armor pen will reduce the incoming attack by only 25% (50 dr * .5 armorpen). There are a few more enemies now with higher armor so keep this in min…
