Night Mother's Gaze - weird change?

From the 6.2.0 patch notes:
Night Mother’s Gaze: This set now applies Major Breach for 4 seconds, rather than Major Fracture for 6 seconds when you Critically Strike an enemy.
Why would a stamina based set even want to reduce a target's spell resistance? Reducing physical resistance makes far more sense.
Night Mother's Gaze - current bonuses
2 items: Adds 833 Weapon Critical
3 items: Adds 129 Weapon Damage
4 items: Adds 833 Weapon Critical
5 items: When you deal Critical Damage you apply Major Fracture to the enemy, reducing their Physical Resistance by 5280 for 6 seconds.
Why change this at all? I fail to see the logic.

✭✭Fracture goes away in this system, and breach gives debuffs to both spell and physical resistance.3 -
hakan✭✭✭✭✭Read again. Fracture got removed just like Ward. Breach is the name for both spell and pyhsical penetration.0 -

✭✭Also... you might be in a group with a magicka build that will appreciate the debuff...Playing since beta...0 -
adirondack✭✭✭✭✭wow - I totally missed the combo of fracture/breach. So Pierce Armor got a nice buff with the addition of minor breach.
Thanks for the answers, guys.Ray0 -
Sahidom✭✭✭✭If they implement a single Critical Strike chance attribute versus Spell or Physical division of the attribute than all these sets will be impacted; since its a crafted set, you could easily turn this set into a magic version for building into Critical Strike with a hefty Offensive Penetration value.0 -
adirondack✭✭✭✭✭For anyone looking for the answer that I so obviously missed... its hidden in developer's comments:
Major Breach:
Increased to 5948, up from 5280.
Major Breach now affects both Physical and Spell Resistance equally.Ray0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Really wish they had changed all these Crafted Sets to just give both Magicka and Stamina versions of their set bonuses.0 -

This. Even though initially changing the more hybrid oriented ones (and even then not all) made for a nice and sensible change, I always felt like all of the crafted sets being designed for use by both stam and mag specs seemed ideal. There's already a concrete separation of stam and mag when it comes to all other gear from trials to overland. A good portion of crafted sets already lean towards being hybridized, so making all of them that way just seemed ideal.1
