In fact It's not a matter of one or the other. There's simply an order in which armor "reductions" apply. First Armor Reduction applies, then Armor Penetration, then Percentual Armor Penetration. Therefore having high Armor Reduction or Armor Penetrating causes Last Whisper to have a diminished effect. (You'll penetrate 40% of a smaller number.)
This diminished effect may make the build choice seem bad, but in fact it allows you to cut through tanks like a hot knife through butter, while reducing the armor of squishies to near 0.
@Teekesselchen
In fact you only have to sacrifice 6.66% Crit Damage, which is neglegible with the low amount of crit this build contains. (Approximately 1.13% dps increase from Auto Attacks. Since your Mystic Shot doesn't crit, the actual dps increase is even lower.)
Trueshot Barrage deals magic damage, making the 15% Spell Penetration worth taking. The bit of extra damage on your Essence Flux and Arcane Shift is a just a nice bonus.
@teekesselchen... they dont stack. they wrk differently but together. if u have 30 armor pen stats wise and LW(40%) it will only apply the pen with the higher value. so if ez is to Q a tank LW pen is most likely to apply. etc. the % and base number do not work the same way.
@ Pyroz: Brutaliser and Last Whisper stack.
@ xxbai: Ezreal doesn't deal so much magic damage actually, but indeed i do believe that it makes more sense to go for the spell penetration than 10% additional crit factor.
@ Laayf: You can do that in the options somewhere where it asks you what mode you want for projectile skills
So lovely play at EMS finals, finally someone showing what Ezreal is capable of :D
No more "Ez totally not viable", just need the skills :)

isn't archaric knowledge worth the 1 point? I mean it sounds just better than 1 point sorcery or 1 point alacrity.
