Bug with The Wise Oak flask and damage penetration

On my char HanSoloDK I am using SR as the main skill.

If I don't use my body armour my res values is : 122 - 73 - 76.
When Wise Oak is active i currectly gets +20% fire pen.

If I use my body armour (Mind Keep Occultist's Vestment) my res values is:
122 - 111 - 118
When Wise Oak is active suddenly Lightning gets 20% pen??

WTF is that ??



Bug report number is = 4.198.137.364

Screenshot link of bug = https://imgur.com/a/hLQ6eOG
Before flask is active, the values for penetration is = 11% - 5% - 5%
As you can see in the screenshot, it's lightning resistence that get the 20% bonus and not Fire as it should be from the wise oak flask.

weird . Since you don't have flask like these to mess up the res



Could you post the character page for res?

Yeah I don't understand anything about this bug.

It's still active in 3.7 release where I have change my build a little bit so some values are differant now but bug still persist.

Here is some updated screenshots:

Also made a new bug report in the 3.7 release: 1.029.588.710

GGG fix please !!

While I don't know why your tooltip shows what it does, keep in mind that penetration does not apply to damage over time, so using The Wise Oak will not increase your Scorching Ray damage.

well yes, but the penetration will help with the targets fire resistence for the burning damage.

And why am I getting the Fire resistence penetration bonus from passive tree nodes but not from wise oak flasks?

No. Penetration does not affect the resistance of anything. Lowering the enemy resistance via things like curses, EE, hat delve affix etc. will increase the damage of Scorching Ray, but penetration is only ever checked when the enemy takes a hit.
Scorching Ray does not hit but applies a damage over time debuff, and consequently will never be affected by penetration from any source.

Have you tested if the bug occurs with non-legacy wise oak?

yep, same bug with those also.

But can you then please explain to me why my value for Fire Resistentce Penetration is 10% for my SR witch means i get the bonus for the passive tree.
Why shouldn't I get the same from the flask ?
