Consider that %Pen is capped at 39%, thus a Void Staff or a Last Whisper effectively makes the last point on Devastating Strikes wasted. Coupled with the fact that %Pen already has minimal effects in the early game, would it not be better to take that 3rd point from Devastating Strikes and put it on Expose Weakness or Spell Weaving ?

Your opinions?

There is no cap for percentage penetration?

This.

It stacks multiplicatively. What that means is, when you stack Last Whisper/ Void Staff with Devastating Strikes you get the full penetration from one source, let's say the one that gives 35% penetration, and then you get the other penetration's percentage of the remaining percent you haven't penetrated.

So, 35% from LW/VS means there's 65% of their armor/MR that you're not penetrating. Devastating Strikes now gives you 3.9% bonus penetration, because that's how much 6% of the 65% you didn't penetrate is.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

Ah, looks like I misunderstood it then. Thanks for clearing that up.
