Armor Penetration Useless in PvE?

I've read it's useless in PvE, as all mobs and bosses are debuffed anyway. Is it worth it to stack Armor Pen?

    Any info regarding ArP in any post discussing stats will tell you it's not useless. There's plenty of info, just search for it.

    Armor Penetration reduces the target's Resistance, to a minimum of zero. It's applied first, and then Debuffs are applied, and can make Resistance negative, thus increasing damage.

    The most resistance any mob has in PvE is 22%, which takes 2200 Armor Penetration to negate. There's no point to going beyond that for PvE, but you get a lot out of getting there.
