Good day Friends
As I understand Weapon Skill work to reduce enemy's Armor for your Physical attacks?
How can I reduce "enemy's Armor" against my magic attaŃks ?
Does Weapn Skill have any value for Magic? For exapmle if Sorc\BW will take Weapon Skill - will it do something ?
Thanks

Ws has no value for magic. You can reduce the enemy's resists vs magic by abilities/ tactics which debuff resists (for example, Sticky Feetz on sham, Shadow of Disaster tactic on sorc, etc).

Resist soft cap is 40% so magic damage dealers dont need resist penetration.

Depends.
Several magic dmg dealers don't have resist debuffs of the relevant type. What is while any physical dmg dealer can spec ws, and most also have a direct armor debuff on top.
In addition, physical dmg dealer abilities also benefit from weapon dps- while casters don't.

No because magic damage is just stronger than physical in RoR because it does good dmg without requiring a 'weaponskill' like stat.
Just use your resistance debuff ability and the you will be doing almost true damage anyway. If they have a kotbs / chosen aura in team I don't know what their mitigation is at while debuffed. Maybe 20-25%?
