Oh damn you are right lol. Well yeah, it's not bad, but it's not really the pen, it's just 10% more damage taken.
but i believe a normal Suplhur might give about the same. I checked in PoB and sluphur does more damage.


Lightning penetration is a MORE multiplier thus it's going to outperform sulphur in most cases where enemy has resistance. But it's way too costly for a flask spot.

Also trying this out now... It's amazing. Lost DPS but maybe it's because the Lightning Penetration gem is pretty low right now. I always love shattering and exploding stuff :D.


In most cases unless you're inqusitor - you're going to get better results with higher penetration, especially against resistant enemies. With high enough penetration enemy resistance is going to get lower than 0 thus you can count lightning pen as a more multiplier. Unless you're rolling in tons of added damage sources from your gear ele focus is weaker option since you are losing the ability to shock/shatter. Your dps on paper/via tooltip doesn't budge a tiny bit when equipping lightning pen compared to ele focus. But if you set enemy resistance to 25% and upwards in PoB and compare the 2 gems you're going to see that at the end of the day they're equal in terms of raw damage output, especially if you have hard time aquiring better gear.

Increased damage taken is also a MORE multiplier. So it's literally the same in terms of damage. Sulphur is 40% increased damage. So yeah, hard to tell why it ouperforms, but i guess it might be because of different sources of additive and multiplicative damage.

For bossing pen is usually much better, as all bosses have high resistances. For mapping though, it's not really that important as you need to crack mobs in a single hit anyway, with or without penetration.

Am I being dumb in relation to the warlords mark on hit ring? I bought one but I am yet to see it generate a single endurance charge on anything after several maps. Am I missing something basic?
