[Warlock] [Demonology] (Glyph of Demon Hunting) Dark Apotheosis vs Physical Damage

[Makaz]

WoW Freakz spell link: Glyph of Demon Hunting & Dark Apotheosis
Bug description: The bug is the reduced physical damage part. I have not tested the reduced magical damage yet. It seems that the reduced phisical damage is negligible. When I enter Metamorphosis my stats give me reduced 24% phisical damage from Dark Apotheosis but the damage I take from melee attacks is almost the same. The images below will show this.

Please keep in mind that I have tested this out with a rogue, receiving only Sinister Strike & auto-attack melee damage.

Proof:
Damage received without anything on, only reduction is from passive & mastery: - around 7-8k for Sinister Strike, and 2-4k for normal melee hit.


Damage received after I use Dark Apotheosis: - around 4-5k for Sinister Strike, and 1,5-2,2k for normal melee hit.




SOMETHING TO ADD:
*Whenever I enter Dark Apotheosis and I use Dark Soul: Knowledge which should add 30% mastery, I should have 44% reduced damage. For me it's still only 19% reduced damage.

My armor remains the same whether or not I am in Dark Apotheosis or in Methamorphosis. - I receive the same damage



*The same happens in Metamorphosis combined with Dark Soul: Knowledge I have 69% extra damage instead of an extra 159% damage. But that is meant for another report.

[Woozy]

Confirm. The difference between damage taken with Metamorphosis On / off is very low.

The damage reduction works. What doesn't work properly is the mastery conversion. It should convert all the damage done in caster form into damage reduction. If I have 30% increased damage in caster form from my mastery, in Dark Apotheosis I should have 30% reduced physical damage instead.

@1:00 when he mouseovers the tooltip, he has 17% damage reduction and 17% mastery.

Also another issue I have noticed, when you cast Dark Apotheosis the buff snapshots current mastery, so if you cast Dark Apotheosis with full buffs and cooldowns you'll remain with a lot of physical damage reduction until you cast it again.
