Talk:Armor Penetration/@comment-94.146.37.38-20100913170956

Just to make everything clear: Reduction (can go beyond 0 armor) before Flat (can only penetrate down to 0 armor) before Percentage.. Let's look at some different scenarios: 1: You have Stark's Fervor (20 Armor Reduction), 30 Armor Penetration from items/runes and Last Whisper (40% Armor reduction); Your enemy has 100 armor: You reduce your enemy's armor to 80 with Stark's Fervor, penetrate 30 armor when you shoot, so it counts as 50 armor, and then Last Whisper reduces to (1-0,4)*50= 30 armor, so they reduce 23% of your physical damage. 2: Same items, only this time enemy has 50 armor: You reduce your enemy's armor to 30, penetrate 30 armor when you shoot, so it counts as 0 armor, and then Last Whisper's stat is obsolete, since (1-0,4)*0=0, so it doesn't affect the armor of your enemy, you deal 100% attack damage. 3: Same items, only this time you enemy has 30 armor: You reduce your enemy's armor to 10, penetrate 10 armor (since armor penetration can't go beyond 0), so it's down at 0, and again Last Whisper doesn't do anything, you deal 100% attack damage. 4: Same items, this time 10 armor: You reduce enemy's armor to -10 (so you deal more damage than your attack damage, based on a percentage), armor penetration doesn't do anything, as there's no armor to penetrate, and same with Last Whisper, you deal 111% attack damage.
