Because of the way penetrations work now, they have almost all been nerfed (the most important items anyway). Sorceror's boots give 15 flat (old was 20) and Void Staff gives 35% (old was 40%).

Therefore in most cases the amount actually penetrated is the same bro.

In fact, since all armour and magic resist was nerfed as well that gives even MORE power to Aegis and Runic, since they not only give the best Mres and decent armour, its also an aura.

And to the original poster, the extra stats more than make up for the loss of FoN.
