The damage component of scatter shot gets fully resisted by paladin talent: Unyielding Faith.
http://puu.sh/h0fOB/600bb2ca1b.jpgSeeing how scatter shot is scaled directly of weapon damage it shouldn't be considered or treated as a spell. The damage component of the ability should not be fully resisted, but instead should be mitigated by armor

Isn't Scatter Shot an effect, as well as a damaging ability? It debuffes the target with a debuff, right?
I mean, it's just like Kidney Shot or Cheap Shot. They are physical abilities, but they can still be resisted, because they are Stun effects.

it has a damage component and an effect component. The damage component falling under physical damage and the effect falling under a disorient effect

Resisting the effect shouldn't disregard the damage it deals

I'm no expert, but doesn't it work like any normal Binary spell?

Did some more research, but I guess it being bugged in this way might be intended as it didn't get fixed until 2.0.1
http://puu.sh/h1WED/745060d11a.pngimmune =/= resist though
http://puu.sh/h1WPa/0b00de5a86.pngThe spell school being physical means it should be affected by physical game mechanics and I've never fully resisted a weapon attack before :^)

Well, Cheap Shot / Kidney Shot are resistable despite being physical abilities
