Is this a mistake in the patch notes?

Weapons
Penetrating Magick: Wall of Elements and Elemental Storm will not currently benefit from the additional Spell Penetration provided by this passive.
. Rank two of this passive: Destro staff spells to ignore 10% of enemy spell resistance. Most trial bosses have around 27K spell resistance so essentially I am losing 2700K spell penetration.

I'm trying to understand why this nerf? The brand new weapon ultimate and one of the skills no longer get the passive ability of that skill line?

    That is why it is under the patch notes part known as "Known Issues". It is a bug and planned to be fixed

    It is not a nerf. It is a known issue and will be in a later patch.

    Ok I see it now. Thank you!

    With all the nerfs and stealth nerfs I'm not in the right frame of mind for this patch and as it seems reading in general..

    The entire PTS thread is not a buff/nerf thread. It also details bugs that exist in the update. As shown above. This "nerf" exist in a place where ZOS says it is a bug aka "Known Issue".

    He means that it is in the "Known Issues" Section and is slated to be fixed.

    KNOWN ISSUES

    Art & Animation
    General

    If you have a beard and equip one of the adornments below, your face will suffer from a graphical issue.
    Bald and Clean Shaven
    No Facial Accessory
    No Jewelry


    Audio
    General

    You may run into some robo-VO, particularly in Craglorn, or missing sounds entirely. Final audio is still being worked on and adjusted.


    Combat & Gameplay
    General

    Final battle leveled combat balance is still being iterated on, and improvements will be ongoing throughout PTS testing.
    Note: Monsters and bosses in Craglorn specifically are currently more difficult than intended.


    Dueling

    In some rare cases, AP may be unintentionally earned during a duel.
    In extremely rare cases, you may appear to still be in a duel, even after the duel has ended. You can fix this by relogging, or challenging another player.

    I get by with a little help from logic.
