Physical/Magical Armor Penetration stats

[MAYAPUTOMAYA]

Defenders POV only:

I made 2 lvl 82 ancient maces:

Full Melee/penetration (read: 17/20%)+0
Melee/WA (read: 17/6%)+4

The latter I already had before trying the former, so WA value is low since it also had some other stuff on it I do not need in this calculation (ie: AS).
Turns out the WA did only slightly less dmg than penetration. I did not feel much of a difference switching the two on different pdef targets (such as scouts vs defender or fighting a dekan or dhan instead).

Now consider WA also being 20%, being boosted by mace-buff and having added WA from plussing your weap.
Also considering that 1 WA is approx. 1.65 melee ... turns out that WA for me is the better option.

Ergo, WA should scale a lot more at higher % and higher lvl.


I'm interested to see other people their results.

hi sir is WA is applicable also to magic attack or only for melee?

It's applicable to your weapon's attack, meaning both magic and physical.
