Magic attacks typically hit for less since wow gold players ignore armor.
It is technically (for obscure reasons) challenging to convert the armor pen rating from the hunter to the pet.Given armor pen's not so rosy future (as a stat on gear anyway), this one probably won't get resolved.Scourge Strike doesn't work like Necrosis. There is no need to draw inferences from one to the other.If Scourge Strike benefits from EP and Black Ice on live, then the Shadow portion of it will in 3.3.All we did was change part of the attack to physical damage, which lets us increase the amount that it hits for overall. This means it should do more damage against lightly armored or fully sundered targets but less damage against heavily armored targets (assuming no armor pen). Magic attacks (even melee weapon swings) typically hit for less since wow gold players ignore armor.Switching some of the damage to physical let us inflate the number.Our goals were to make armor pen slightly more valuable to Unholy DKs and just make Scourge Strike and Reaping valuable to Unholy DKs. I understand many of you just wanted us to boost the numbers because you wanted for it to hit more, but under the way we balance it isn't fair for a magical attack to hit for as much as a physical attack.Druid Additional note: Blizzard used the same helm for both sets in their preview, I didn't. The model of this helm is kinda bugged at the moment and only supports one texture directly hardcoded in the .m2 file.
