Penetration, in context

Offensive penetration is best reviewed with your target and group conditions in mind. A bigger personal number is not automatically the best upgrade.

Record what the number means

The app reads the offensive penetration value you enter. It does not model enemy armor, group debuffs, set effects or combat. Include the context in snapshot notes so later comparisons remain meaningful.

Treat the target as a planning reference

Our initial values come from a personal workbook adapted into all-class planning profiles. They are provisional. Group composition and encounters can change what you need, so review the target before investing in a build change.

Reference context: ZOS Update 51 announcement · Skyshard location index. Individual zone totals still await review.
