can somebody explain how the two work differently? ty
When taking shred, this is a debuff that lowers your resistance values. This debuff can be cleansed, thus interacted with. Shred debuff also has a cap for resistances. Armor shred I think caps at 100, or maybe I need more armor shred to get higher than that lol.
Penetration is a buff on the attacker that ignores resistance values. You cannot dispel this. Although Iām pretty sure overcap counters both types of resistance bypass.

just saw this thread, there are good explanations of this in there: Area-based Resistance Penetration - Why is Health better than Res? What makes Pen different than Shred?
