So what all does everyone think effects armor penetration? I have been trying a variety of weapons to see what seems to pen well vs what doesn't and I am wondering if anyone can help shed some light on this topic as trying to figure out how to stop bounces from armor is still not something I understand well.

Below are the things that I believe might be true.

Things that probably effect it:
Sunder Armor (on future hits)
Strength
Weapon speed (slow seems to not bounce as much)

Things that might effect it:
Brute Force (description seems vague to me as to if this help stop bounces or just helps avoid parrys)
Size (bigger is better?)
Weapon Weight (seems like heavier would be better)

Not really sure on weapon speed and weight will a 1.45 speed / 1.33 weight weapon have more pen then a 1.5 speed / 4 weight weapon just cause its a little slower? I would expect the heavier weapon to penetrate or smash threw the armor better, but if that's actually how it works i have no idea.
