So...Not sure if anyone as said this definitively yet, but the feat Expose Weakness does indeed give the player 25% armor penetration. The way I tested this was by attacking a training dumby while stealthed with gloaming cut with and without equipment on.

Here are the results:

Without armor: [Combat (Self)] Critical Hit! Your Gloaming Cut deals 4593 (4373) Physical Damage to Target Dummy.

With Armor: [Combat (Self)] Critical Hit! Your Gloaming Cut deals 4724 (4499) Physical Damage to Target Dummy.

4593 - 4373 = 220
4724 - 4499 = 225 *Chalking the 5 points of extra damage up to having increased power.

If anyone else can either confirm or deny these results, that would be great.

    5/5 exposed wickness = 25% Armor pen. in stealth, yes.

    With pve "cap", and 5/5 EW = 24+25% = 49% Resistance ignored in stealth. Which explains the monstrous damage of an executioner against the gwf and gf.

    With this feat, "Defense" and "armor class" stats are obsolete.

    Are you sure, it's +25% armorpen? That's stupid high, I see a nerf coming, if that's true. *25% would be still good, 25%+6% from it is still good.
    My story is truly a grand tale! Of course, any story about me is going to be grand simply by virtue of the main character.
