Necrotic Strike's healing absorption effect has been increased to 225% from attack power, up from 200%.

//I am adding this for when PvP Power / Resilience will be functional. NS absorb should also get increased by PvP Power (source) and then decreased by PvP Resilience, so when used on players, the formula would look like this:
[(2.25 * AP) * 1.pvppower%]* PvPResilience

e.g. if I have 10k AP, 30% PvP Power and my target has 60% PvP Resilience:
[(2.25 * 10000) * 1.3] * 0.6 = 17550 absorb

Proof: The purple bar above my target is the absorbtion amount from 1 Necrotic Strike (necrotictrack addon).


Update: Here's a little bit of patch history on this spell.

Patch 5.0 and 5.1
Necrotic Strike did 150% weapon damage, absorb buff was 100% of AP and it was UNAFFECTED by Resilience.

Patch 5.2
Blizzard announces a hotfix during the PTR: Necrotic Strike absorb will be reduced by Resilience: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/8953693/#dk
A lot of QQ follows up:

http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/237907-necrotic-bugged-apparently/
(hidden hotfix) Later in that patch, since the scaling was very bad, Blizzard decided to increase the absorb amount to 200% AP.

Patch 5.3
They decided to buff it to 225% AP: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/10021220/53-escalation-patch-notes-21-05-2013#dk

Patch 5.4
Its damage was reduced to 100%, down from 150%.

I know this thread mostly refers to WoD PTR, but read the first paragraph:

Quote:

Necrotic Strike is currently "bugged", as it's tooltip is not accurate : it's supposed to deal 100% weapon damage and absorb 100% attack power. But every DK knows it actually absorbs over 200% of your attack power (225 % ?). If it worked as advertize, even in 5.4, it would already become a situational ability. Note that this part is only a conjecture.

For some reason Blizzard decided not to update the tooltips, therefore the wowhead tooltips were not updated either.

A better explanation is offered by this guy, in the same thread: http://www.arenajunkies.com/topic/250503-wod-necrotic-stike-stealth-nerfed/#entry4110135

In s12 ns absorb was not affected by resiliance and absorb was 100% of attack power resulting in stupid amount of stacks once you had multiple procs up. Tailoring + rotfc + both trinkets up + (pillar of frost or unholy might depends on spec) in s13 they tried to fix this and they made NS absorb to be affected by resiliance. After few days of this being live they buffed absorb from 100% to 200% of attack power to compensate because no dk in world would ever press ns instead of ss or hb in pvp.

s12 = malevolent gear
s13 = tyrannical gear

[Shocker]
