Armor Penetration not effective for clerics

Hello,

Myself and a few others have tested some Cleric abilities and noted that armor penetration does not reduce a target's damage resistance. Specifically, I have tested daunting light on targets while wearing large amounts of armor penetration and again with low armor penetration (all other statistics held constant, same target type for both tests) and found that, according to the combat log, the target resists the same amount of damage.

Either armor penetration is useless for this ability, or the combat log is not accurately recording the changes in damage resistance. The latter seems unlikely, since the same test conducted above but using astral seal showed that a target's damage resistance was lowered for astral seal.

This is rather peculiar, and quite harsh for those clerics seeking to do damage, in any context.

    Good luck. I see one of these pop up about once a month for either CW or DC. Bugs have been known for over 6 months and still no fixes.
