Tenacity: Armor Penetration Resistance

beatannier

So how Armor Penetration Resistance works?

If it will be 100%, will it totally ignore foe`s Armor Pen?
Or it decreases foe`s Armor Pen like Recharge Speed Increase decreases cooldown (100% = 50% CD, 300% = 25% CD).

Also, does it inflicts just Armor Pen or the whole Damage Resistance?

This is a bit of a hot topic right now. I was talking to somebody who claimed that it only affects the Armor Penetration stat as a flat multiplier. So, conceivably, in PvP, you would simply multiply your current Armor Penetration rating by .2 (because of 80% resistance from tenacity) and calculate the resistance ignore from there.

On the flipside, this person further claimed that it has no affect from flat resistance ignore bonuses (Ability Score, Feats, Boons).

I'm of the opinion that it functions off of the summed up Resistance Ignore, but testing needs to be done.

For example, you have 75% ArP resistance, your opponent has 20% ArP. Once your ArP resitance is applied, your opponent will only have 5%.
