And while Armor pen didn't increase on season 4 items you're still seeing a bump in resilience allowing people to swap out more pieces of resilience gear and stacking more pve pieces with armor pen.

I think a % based reduction is a good idea. The way things are going is backwards IMO... Intuitively speaking, lowering armor is supposed to be a way of compensating for high armor classes but in practice it's just become a way to turn low armor targets into pinatas.
