So, i can't figure some aspects of how penetration works in some cases, for example:

1) what is the difference between flat penetration capped at (50), for example this item that gives 15 physical penetration (Jotunn's Wrath) and % penetration like Titan's Bane (33% physical penetration)?

What i was thinking about this is that the first kind of penetration which i call flat caps at 50 max, while % penetration can go over 50 depending on the enemys item build if they go over certain protection value, is this correct?

2) If the above is correct that means that i should build penetration according to the enemys defensive stats value right?

For example i could start with what i call flat penetration and towards the end if they build higher defense i build some % penetration which would give me better results than stacking 50 flat penetration tops.

3) What does that 50 penetration cap means and, does it apply to % penetration aswell?

I guess what im trying to figure out here is if 1 point of flat penetration is somehow equivalent to 1% of penetration.

That's all i have to ask about this subject and yeah sorry for my english but im from South America :P

Here is a link to a similar thread ;)


The cap is just for flat pen, The Executioner is a debuff (so it doesn't count as pen) and the % pen is also not capped (it just gives you less if a target has low protection and more if a target has high protection) :)

Glad it could help, and you where right about the flat pen (fixed it now).

And The Executioner is just OP (same with Spear Of The Magus) :P

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
