armor piercing is bad because nobody blocks and nobody blocks cause vetex put the block key on G for some ungodly reason and refuses to let us change it
Another point is that the Armor Piercing vs Base Hp requires a ungodly amount of points to do a good difference in PVP, and you need to fight someone with high base hp to see a big change.
@@aYtto The thing is, i am a clan leader and in basically every clan war that happens, people prefer spamming more moves than blocking more moves. Its a 50/50 honestly. In some ganks spamming your moves will grant you a win, in others you will need to press G to gain a win.
@@aYtto only because vetex gave npcs a percent chance to block/parry every attack regardless of what they're doing they can block before they even finish loading into the game
Unasked for but I just want to say how Armor Piercing sucks a lot. So yeah, because of the nerf, AP is literally useless now, or at least it's pointless to have in your build. Now let's say, if the formula in wiki is correct about AP (which most likely is accurate because I get the same damage increased as your video demonstrated), it would be like this against players: AP% × Defense / (EnemyTotalHP - Defense) / 4 (However, against NPCs it's AP%/2) The result is in percentage. By this formula, you'd deal less damage against players with high vitality, make sense because AP pierces defense directly, I've tried calculated. Which... yes, make it even worse stats. (Need I even mention how amour piercing has NO effects against resistance as well? Yeah, useless.) Anyway, now using that formula to calculate damage increase. Let's say you have about 20 AP% (which cost about 70 AP stat or something) and the enemy has 700 Defense. You'd get +3.26% (x1.0326) damage increase. Okay, maybe it's just low AP%, now let's try 100 AP% against 700 Def. +16.3% damage. A whole gosh darn x1.163 damage, if I want that extra damage, I can literally use bleeding gel to make enemies bleed for 5 seconds and deal extra +10% (x1.1) damage from synergy, which is only just 5.4% less damage increase. You need 400 AP just to get +16% extra damage. But overall, you get the idea, armour piercing sucks and almost utterly pointless right now, it's okay against NPCs however.
Unfortunately you are right, i used it on NPCs for farming and i though WOW, tested it in my friend later and my hype vanished right in that moment. I really like the Armor Piercing stat and i would do a build with it if it wasn't that nerfed since that time. And the fact that it does not work against resistance (i tested that too) sucks alot. Resistance has literally no weakness, and Armor Piercing was the one supposed to be the only one 😭.
@May-Mabel the efficiency points are higher if and if you're just going for primary stats like most people it weighs more into Defense than Size, so that both the power and defense of a sophragos with painites is higher than the power and defense of a vatrachos with Malachite
All i care about is pve. Is it worth it investing in AP compared to power to fight rivals and bosses easier? The formula makes it look very good against npcs
Armor Piercing had to be nerfed because it really was really op back in the day, but now, almost nobody uses, since you have to use ALOT of it to have a visible effect and it will probably ruin your build to get that effect.
Max piercing doesn’t do very good against max resistance, so I’m gonna go with the idea that it only negates base resistances like blocking and surge resistance but doesn’t affect the resistance stat itself.
It doesn't go through resist It goes through defense (HP from armor), blocking and parrying at lower efficiency It also increases your dmg a tiny bit against players but it is overall better against npcs (The formula is on the wiki btw)
Its a stat used to bypass blocking, in the video i have 100% of it(409 points), which means that if i do 200 damage on a beam, i will also deal 200 damage when they block (example), but to get 100% armor piercing you have to sacrifice alot of your PVP build 😭, so it's not worth it for now, i would recommend using 200 points max of Piercing on a build if you want to use that stat as that will give you 54% of armor piercing which in all honesty is good enough (will bypass 54% of blocking).
@@idkwhattonamenguyen7034 Yeah, it is, if your fightning that annoying guy in pvp with 3-4k hp build (its rare to see but still happens), armor piercing is a very good stat to deal with that.
Now all you need is to encounter an enemy with their entire build invested in 500 resistance and it will finally be worth it
Whitebeard vs Roger belike lol. But yeah, it would be very funny to see that happening
P sure resistance ignores AP but its a cool concept tbh
Unstoppable force vs unmovable object
the watermark is so funny, it only discourages the use of that editing software

My favorite part of the video was the Pheonix cast circle
Its the symbol of my clan and i made it myself 👍(except for the magic circle)
Do you know the value for a full set a Sophragos armor? I got a full set and looking to trade it away but I don’t know what I could get for it. 😅
Sadly i don't know much about trading 😭, i have like 10 full sets of sophragos armor and i am in the same boat you are.
its uh probably only slightly higher than vatrachos since everyone has it but putting a couple painite on it makes it better
@@warlockgnome1015how does painite make it better?

Yeah. But i recommend large investment of Armor Piercing only for PVE though.
@@FlyodMoonsilver thanks for responding
@@FlyodMoonsilver Have you tested it against atlanteans with big amounts of health?
@@Sweze No, but it will probably deal alot of damage.
You could try using something other than filmora, cus the watermark is definitely distracting
Yeah, i am aware about that, in the next vídeo i will probably have found an editor that does not have a watermark.

@@FlyodMoonsilver davinci resolve!!!!
@@FlyodMoonsilver VSDC Free Video Editor has no watermark and its nice to use
thanks balance team, for making such a powerful stat to counter tanky builds deal 50 more damage against 2k hp once you've invested 400 into it

try clipchamp instead of filmora lel
Thanks for the recommendation 👍, i will try it now.
does A.P go through resitance? or is it just through blocking??

Olá JuanSantos 😁
So you lose all your defense though?😂
If you are speaking about G (Block), that only happens when you have 100% Armor Piercing (or 400 points).
try using davinci resolve
Thanks for the recommendation, i am looking at some options other than Filmora, this will help me alot 👍.
