So, word on the street is the developers said something along the lines of, "noone can go negative defense." So if you put on lots of armor pieces that add up to negative 10% and you fight an opponent who has 0 penetration, he won't be doing 10% more damage to you savvy? Your defense stays at 0 and that's as low as it goes. Point being. I have a gut feeling that penetration works the same way. If he has 50% defense and you have negative 40% penetration, I think he just has the 50% advantage over you and you just don't have penetration power (0). Which sucks because say I'm a player who wants to stack penetration gear, but I fight a player with little or no defense in the first place, I don't have a real advantage over them and I could've capitalized on something else. This is just what I've read from researching this myself. If you find a definitive answer or like, a stats or damage chart of some kind (I love those) please share.
