    So the patch notes from Dec 5th stating they fixed Arm Pen for many attacks... not so much true?
    http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=1055571

    Reading through the linked thread, kind of sad to hear this, if it really is true. (not many screen shots to back it up)
    contents to be decided

    That would be a LOT of screenshots for something that is trivially tested by anyone except in one instance, i.e. if you are not specced into a particular Power or feat.

    If there is any specific Power or feat you want a screenshot for, then please feel free to ask. Someone should be happy to provide it for you.

    And, yes, they did fix ArP for many Powers - there were even more broken, as you can see from the first post on that list. They could also be referring to "many", including other classes, e.g. DC's who have not been benefitting from ArP on most of their Powers, despite having their last tier of armor full of it for the first time!

    As fondlez himself and quite a few other DCs have tested, the ONLY previously broken DC power that was fixed for ArP is Daunting Light. All the other previously broken ones are still broken, so this is, at the least, a multi class issue.

    From casual testing (*) in Divinity and non-Divinity modes today on Preview,

    YES - benefit from ArP:
    Astral Seal
    Lance of Faith
    Sunburst
    Sacred Flame
    Daunting Light
    Hammer of Fate
    Blessing of Battle
    Annointed Army

    NO - do NOT benefit from ArP:
    Guardian of Faith
    Searing Light - Divine
    Flame Strike - center portion
    Chains of Blazing Light
    Forgemaster's Flame - ticks not cast
    Prophecy of Doom
    Brand of the Sun - ticks not cast
    Break the Spirit
    Divine Glow

    (*) I do not play this class any more for various reasons. I was just checking out the new Paragons across classes. So, I have not reported my results anywhere else or triple checked everything. If DC is your main, I suggest doing your own testing and submitting it in the appropriate places in the Preview feedback sections.
