According to WarBlade both the piercing of resists and the added damage are working. The combination of these two things would mean you should be doing about 3 or 4 times the damage (depending on whether the added sanctuay damage is physical or magical now). This doesn't jibe with your numbers, so one of you has to be wrong.
7, 8, 9, 6, 7
sanctuary:
3, 4, 5, 4, 3
Considering that sacrifice (at slvl 25) should have something in the mid 400% ED, and sanctuary (I think it was at slvl 26) would add another 870%, I think this looks just fine.
I tested this as well and came to the same conclusion SeasofBlood did, the added damage% does diddly. For the life of me I can't find my data, but I was using my 1.09 un-edited in every way Paladin with slvl 20 Sanctuary and a normal attack against nightmare zombies. Time to redo my tests so I can post some numbers here. I didn't test vs. anything with physical resists, so the piercing might still be working.
Edit- My numbers:
Vs Zombies in Nightmare, /players 4.
Slvl 21 sanctuary, +750%ED, 99-121 pulse damage. 164 Strength, 16-17 damage scepter, 20%ed in armour (lionheart, forgot it was there), 1-2 fire damage :D. Displayed 51-54 damage.
# of hits to kill a zombie with normal attack and vigor on: 36, 35, 31, 30, 30
This indicates they have about 1500-1800 life (rough estimate, they did regen a bit)
# of hits to kill with sanctuary on/# of pulse that went off: 22/7, 20/6, 24/6, 20/6, 25/7.
Indicates each hit was doing *very* roughly 50-60 damage.
The # of pulses that went off is signifigant, since it took 20, 24, 22 pulses to kill zombies without me swinging.
My back of the envelope (literally!) calculations are telling me the damage bonus is not there for a normal attack. I know for a fact that it worked in 1.09.
