Just a quick question:

What does armour penetration do? What effect does it have in a fight?

Cheers

25% armor penetration means the targets armor is lowered by 25% for that attack

So if he has very high armor (say 160) lowering by 25% (160 -> 120) means you will do a lot more dmg (x2 in this case)

if he has very low armor (say 20) lowering by 25% (20 -> 15) means you will still do more damage but not a lot more.
