Most damage? What stat proves best? | Forums

What weapon stat is most important for max damage, Damage, or Defensive Penetration?

[Rikuto01]

Defense penetration will only remove another players defense stat and take it down to 0%, never below that. "smart" high gear builds put the defense stat close to 0% anyway, because it potentially wastes their opponents penetration stat while allowing them to boost their other stats as a tradeoff.

So basically, defense penetration is useful against certain players who don't know any better, but attack is always good regardless of who you are fighting.

Following that logic, correct me if I'm wrong, your best bet then is to go Attack and Block Damage. Since Def Pen there is the potential of a wasted stat, at least everyone blocks and you can reliably chip at that.

No, go Attack then Defense Pen. Negative Defense Pen. will cause you to do less damage. Block damage, for the most part, is useless; so that is the dump stat.

Unless you run Conq's Punch-through feat... then it's dirty nasty.

No. Punch through does the same damage regardless of block damage. They are separate. Also block damage is useless.

Agreed Block damage is a waste of a stat. You need defense pen, it's always welcome but priority stat should attack first.
