Sharpened Trait.....Buffed?

So Sharpened which is still giving far more penetration than Nirnhoned (or anything else for that matter) was evidently just buffed. /Boggle

From 2.0.4 Patch Notes
Fixed an issue where the Sharpened Trait wasn’t providing enough armor or spell penetration.

I thought April fools was last week?

    Actually it was nerfed according to the Focus Rating stat in Harven's extended stats. It now provides slightly less Focus Rating than Nirnhoned.

    Probably not, they tend to ignore this sort of thing. I mean, they've been ignoring it for months now, why start worrying about it now?!

    Does it seem like it is actually providing 14% compared to 18% provided by Nirnhoned? Is Nirnhoned giving ~29% more penetration now?

    I'll have to check when I get home from work. Have you tried any testing to confirm with damage numbers rather than just Harven's yet Timid?

    I wouldn't put 100% faith in what these add-ons report. Better to test it with real damage on real mobs!

    I think it takes an add on just to test damage.

    Ok, thanks for your patience, all. The wording for the Sharpened fix that went in with today's patch was a little misleading, so we want to clarify and make sure we're all on the same page.

    Before today's patch, Sharpened was giving too much spell penetration. Today's patch (2.0.4) fixed this issue, and Sharpened will now scale correctly based on your item level. Also, for the record, Sharpened does give less spell penetration compared to Nirnhoned.

    We'll update the patch note for Sharpened to reflect this info. Sorry for the confusion!

    It's been this way for awhile. It's bugged, just like ninhorned was.
