[edit] How much armor penetration? (stack)

If I use a ranger with a sundering hornbow, with penetrating attack, sundering weapon (cracked armor). 10% of hornbow, 20% for sundering, 10% for the other sundering, 20% for attack skill, 20% for cracked armor. So do I have 80% armor penetration now? And if I use Judges Insight aswell, do I have 100%? - Niphadora

Cracked Armor doesn't cause armor penetration. -- Gordon Ecker 09:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Or is it multiplied, such as HCT/HSR mods? if you have a 20/20/20/20 staff, your HCT and HSR are not 40%, but 36%. Is this the same for AP? -elviondale (tahlk) 16:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Which Category?

What determines base AP from additive AP? Judges insight is a spell, and causes AP, yet it's extra while other spells are base. Confusing? Silavor 01:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Well it could be the wording in the skills. Judges Insight and Warrior's Might has the +10% AP clause while the skills that have base AP say "This spell/skill/attack has xx% armor penetration." and lacks the + sign. --74.61.209.219 20:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I still don't get it :P

Lets say I use Spear of Lightning *which grants 25% AP* with 10 in Strength *which grants 10% AP*, does that mean the spear attack will have an armor penetration of 35%? or there is a cap and it only applies the armor penetration of Spear of Lightning? and if there is a cap on how much armor penetration a skill or an attack can have, how much is it o.o" ???

25%. You use your highest Base AP value (Spear of Lightning's 25 v Strenght's 10), and then you add any bonus AP like a Sundering weapon or Judge's Insight. There isn't a cap on AP, but there aren't many sources of +AP. - HeWhoIsPale 18:26, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
