Physical Dmg and Vulnerable

Why is it the one type of damage that can’t use vulnerable? Is this intended or a bug?

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by this. Can you explain further?

Physical damage does not benefit from the target being vulnerable the same way poison and others do

Is there a source somewhere that has numbers on this? I’m curious to see what the measurable difference is.

It sure seems like physical damage still gets some benefit against vulnerable enemies. I use physical damage in my build and it definitely hits vulnerable enemies harder.

Just off the top of my head, I could see Blizz making some adjustment here due to there being no physical resistance, whereas elemental damage types have resistances and armor to get through. Could be a bug too, who knows.

Perhaps its only in pvp, but Revik who does a ton of pvp has tested it as have others.

Lol yes it does.

Poison is just broken in pvp, due to Resistances just not even being coded properly into the game. There are also a few broken interactions with poison still, that make a single basic poison puncture fill 3+ health bars worth of damage. It also ignores immune phases.

Its why you see a bunch poison cheese builds right now.
