| − | Especially in PvP, it is difficult to find a well-balanced amount of spell penetration. Against targets with no resistance, it has no effect (and as such is wasted). However, against targets with resistances, spell penetration is a powerful and, in terms of [[Formulas:Item Values|item values]], cheap stat. Ideally, a caster should have exactly as much spell penetration as necessary to lower the target's resistance to zero. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In PvP, good spell penetration values are 40 (to counter [[Mark of the Wild]]) and 70 (to counter various single-school resistance buffs, such as the Paladin's resistance auras); these are usually enough. In PvE, where only few mobs have resistances, especially with [[Curse of Shadow]]/[[Curse of Elements|Elements]] active, spell penetration has not much use. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Spell penetration's effectivity increases with the target's resistances. However, at some point it might be better to stick to another school, instead of stacking huge amounts of spell penetration at the cost of other stats. |
