Ignore Penetration vs Defense Table
Compare Ignore Penetration and Defense for your stats and the mob's Penetration.
Defense reduces incoming damage by a percentage. Penetration on the mob cuts through that reduction. Ignore Penetration is subtracted from the mob's Penetration before Defense is calculated.
As a rough rule of thumb, Defense tends to pull ahead when the mob carries a lot of Penetration. Against mobs with lower Penetration, Ignore Penetration is usually the better pick. Your exact stats still change the tradeoff, so use the table and calculator to check the situation you are in.
