I was wondering if anyone knew the sort of relationship between say.. +protection, and how that equates to a percent increase in mitigation. Or the same with +armor, etc. Is there a place that has this sort of information? It would help slightly when planning choices in terms of gear and feats. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering what the hell exactly is penetretion and how this is work!?
Pls funcom make better the pve page and clear the stats!

Penetration lowers the target's armor (or protection, if it's magic penetration) by it's value.

Mitigation and magic mitigation gain is lower the more armor and protection you have, so the formulae would be a bit complicated.

Ask a few veterans of the same class how much protection/mitigation they have and you should get the picture - you will have to do it anyway to learn what is it worth for PvE/PvP.

i dont think anyone has been able to prove this is the case...

At least for armor it seems to be very linear progression.

But as an answer to OP: in general if you are a tank you want as much armor and protection as possible, if you are not a tank you dont want it.

Any fine adjustments are down to class spesific.

Well, it looks very like it - easy to see with protection buffs (925 prot buff gives ~15% to toons with less than 10%, but tanks with over 50% get only a few %). Armor is a bit harder to check, but it really slows down after 55% and almost stops at 60%.

The reason you stop around 60% is that with the best gear you only get about 12500 armor.

Try to check the ratio of armor-to-mitigation and you find it is not very variable...
