    For a raid boss, 300 something ignored armor is basically the same as ignoring 5 armor on a prot warrior. It's not going to have any useful effect at all, given raid bosses have what, hundreds of thousands of armor?

    This post is faded because it has a negative score.

      What you are saying is wrong. It's okay to say things you think is right, untill you are told that it's wrong. Then it's not ok to say it anymore. Ok, here we go:

      All bosses have a lot of armor yes, but this armor ignore will help out a lot, because it ignores the boss' base armor!
      Bosses' base armor is multiplied in encounters, so when you ignore base armor, you will also ignore the multipliers so it will "scale" with how much armor the boss actually has.

      That's what's making these kind of buffs great, because you will suddenly be striking an enemy as if he was wearing cloth or something similar.

        Oh And that works well against clothies too..the scaling effect dosn't do as much armor but it brings the term squishy to a whooooole new lvl =D

        Wow, you have no idea what you are talking about.  The highest boss armor valuse you see in endgame raiding is 7700, and every boss in hyjal has 6200.  In a raid environment:

        6200
        -2600 (sunder x5)
        -610 (farie fire
        -800 (CoR)
        =
        2190


        Gaining 300+ armor pen is a noticable difference against these bosses, as fully debuffed they are the same as a cloth wearer in pvp.

          You forgot Rogue's Expose armour, so

          6200
          -2600 (sunder x5)
          -610 (farie fire
          -800 (CoR)
          -2050 (Expose armour
          =
          140

            I may be wrong but last I checked you couldnt Sunder an exposed target which would naturally apply to devastate.?.?.? unless this has changed you are gonna have one pissed off raid if you expose a boss
