Talk:Magic Penetration/@comment-72.241.77.96-20101117101236

How come magic pen is applied (magic reduction -> flat magic pen -> percentage magic pen) while armor pen is applied (flat armor pen -> percentage armor pen -> armor reduction)? It seems like magic reduction is worthless if it is applied first, because the likelyhood of dropping someone below 0 (the whole point of reduction vs penetration) is very little, while /armor/ reduction is applied last, making that much more viable.
