T3M4 Zeta (Issue)

I am having trouble understandingT3M4 Zeta. I have a G12 T3 and his Zeta says it will grant 100% of his Defense penetration but T3 has 0% Defense Penetration. So what's the benefit of his 2nd Zeta

    Maybe in the future other droids will give defense penetration too. If another Droid gives +50% as a leader, as an example, T3 would have +150%.

    Example, +50% from leader and +100% from his unqiue.

    Then T3 shares that 150% to his Droid allies.

    Edit: from what I understand, defense penetration has something to do with armor/resistance penetration.

    The first line of the ability says "T3-M4 has +100% defense penetration and ...."

    0 (base value) + 100% (from ability) = 100% defense penetration for him to then grant to droid allies.

    But 0 + 100% still equals 0

    Ohhhh. I thought it always doubled his defense pen from whatever gear finally gives some to him. Nice to know otherwise

    ???

    If it was 0 (non percent) + 100% (of the base value) you would be correct, but it's not.

    It is 0% + 100% which equals 100%.

    Ah, ok. I didn't notice 0%... I was counting it as a whole number. So does this mean that defense penetration is a combination of Armor Penetration and Resistance Penetration? Because if so the defense penetration text should better reflect this. Where does the 0% or 100% come from? Where is the benefit.

    Great Thank You!... so Defense Penetration is a combo of Armor Penetration and Resistance Penetration. This actually assigns numbers to the %. I appreciate the tag... they really need to describe "Defense Penetration" better in game so you don't have to search around on the forums and other sites to find out.

    The defense penetration under general is some weird dummy stat; it's 0 for everyone. What the text means is armor and resistance penetration.
