I consistantly do less damage to boar wolves than i do to arachne webmasters or drones.
Im using a t21..
Boar wolves have no armour and are energy vulnerable.
Arachne drones have no armour and are 20% energy resistant.
After killing about 10 of each.. i do roughly 2k-3k damage to arachnes pretty much every time.. and i do 1.2-1.4k to boar wolves.. anyone else see this.. or am i just crazy.

when something is vuln to an attack type you will ignore the armor but your armor piercing doesnt add anything either.
For each level of armor piercing you have over there armor value you do an additional 25% damage. Thats why the light armor 20% resist creatures are getting hit harder.

Hmmm, interesting.. thanks.. So im best to look for creatures that are 5% resistant to energy instead of vuln to it.
Strange, but acceptable.
Thank you for the answer
