Improve this question. The second question there is different enough from your first question that you really should remove it and ask it as a separate question entirely. I will do that then.

Pretty satisfying explanation on what I asked. Would you mind explaining me a little what I see when I press "c" in game, on the Armor penetration?

What does this first 28 means? I get that I have 40 armor penetration so far, but I don't get the I don't really understand what that flat amount is. Let's say that my flat armor penetration is Or I got something completely wrong? If the enemy has armor, and you have a flat 40 armor pen, they will have armor left for your damage to fight through.

Armor is calculated as a Logarithm, meaning that with small numbers of armor a proportionally large quantity of chance to deflect is rewarded. Increasing armor has diminishing effects on that chance. If AP is just subtracted from Armor value of target, then it means that the less AP you have in respect of target Armor, the less it will reduce as well the chance of deflecting attacks.

As AP number approaches to total Armor of target, it is more influencial. Let's say two enemies have and armor respectively. Very few monster with more than armor, so not needed to go over AP. Also, considering attack speeds of weapons, rising AP as high as possible can be crucial.

You don't want to waste your hammer attack after have being hit 3 times, don't you? As for formula to calculate chance of deflection in respect of armor, look at this discussion. Thanks for detailed info. Just interested if someone played more with, let's say, over AP and how were the results. It could increase damage output but for the cost of sacrificing something else.
