How does WS works exactly atime?

1. What does it does exactly as far as armor penetrating goes- does it gives a % chance to ignore armor entirely? Or is it % of target's armor ignored? Or something else?
2. How does it works when combined with direct armor debuffs, such as bg's Horrific Wound or tank m1?
3. Is WS equally efficient/ scales equally for all classes, or is it more efficient for mdps then for tanks?

1. Weapon skill removes a percent of armor rating from the target. Formula for weapon skill value:
reduction% = (weapon_skill * 2.858) / level
Let's say you have 400 weapon skill and are a rank 40 character. 400 * 2.858 / 40 = 28.58% armor penetration.
If your opponent has 3300 armor, they will count as having 3300 * (1 - 0.2858) = 2357 armor for each of your attacks.
2. Flat armor debuffs happen first. So we will use the above example 400 weaponskill, 3300 enemy armor. Now they are stuck by demo strikes. 3300 - 1056 = 2244 armor. 2244 * (1 - 0.2858) = 1602 armor for each of your attacks.
3. WS scales equally for all classes using the above formula.
