I think I've tried to make it apparent that straight up weapon power would be a better buff than critical damage or defense penetration

Difference between defense penetration and critical damage is there is none, it's all percentages in the end.

Difference between flat weapon power and the aforementioned is that Flat weapon power is flat, and can be controlled, which is why I think flat melee weapon power is just a better idea than what I had before about defense penetration, which I'd like to make clear that I do not support that anymore.
