Just would like to know if the target -24% Armor Penetration also good for PvP?

If not how much ArPen you need in PvP for a GF?

    Useful against other GF and GWF. Not as useful against TR or CW.

    I dont think there is any TR/CW with less than 1500Defense. So having at least that in ArP is very much worth it. But since GWFs/GFs are a harder kill, I would definitely stack more ArP than that.
    Check out my personal Nerf Proof T2 Thaumaturge Build.

    In PvP, no companions so 1500+ Defense would be highly uncommon on those two classes as well as most DC too.

    I've got 1330 on my CW, which gives me 25.9% DR when you factor in AC. So if you really want to cancel all that out you better get to stacking ArPen.

    Does Armor Penetration affect AC? I am no serious PvP player, so I wouldn't know.

    The short answer is Yes. It ignores armor and defenses of your target which is between your skill hitting a low thousands or high thousands. Some abilities can cause your target's defenses to go into negatives which translates into extra damage otherwise there is a cap of lowering your target's defenses/armor to 0.

    This. ARP mitigates mitigation lol. So if a CW has 25% mitigation, you can get up to 25% in ARp+stats and see benefits.

    Basically ARP is very very good.
