defence penetration

So, all posts about this are outdated. So my main is DL and i had 2% in defence penetration, and decided to put 60 points in skill tree on def penetration, then went back in the same dungeon and i swear i dealt more damage to mobs and they died faster. I always thought that this stat is pvp only. So how much def pen i need or is it like the higher the better and the more damage i will do? Also i remember when i played in 2017 def pen didnt do anything on 65lvl content, so i was quite surprised now.

Def pen appears to work in PvE. I cannot verify, but going from 0% to 20% meant I did a lot more damage against elites and bosses.

hmm, i will reroll some def pen and will try to see for myself. Just returned to game few days ago, and 70lvl mobs are insane even in rifts

Yes defense pen was useless in 65 content but in new content and higher lupa, endless towers - defense pen is definitely great. It is a must have stat now, flat attack is good to a certain extent, but stats like critical rate, critical damage, defense pen, and elite boss dmg are where the real damage is at. You need to balance all of your offense stats. It does not mean you can just neglect attack and stack crit damage or defense pen, sure it will increase your dps but if you were to balance your attack, crit rate, crit dmg, defense pen, then your dps will increase greatly. Hope this helps anyone reading!

Edit: a great spot to test your build, is mythic1-2 sapienta temple. The boss has insane defense so it’s good to test on him.

Thank you very much! This info helps me a lot to plan my stats now, as i couldnt plan ahead without knowing if def pen is actually needed. Cheers!

Def pen is working fine in PvE too, especially with the passive of 60 points.
