Pure damage and damage reducing passives

[blackoutchili]

Does pure damage get reduced by things like Bristleback or Dispersion?

[trexwin]

No, however it does get modified by one of oracles abilities.
Not sure about spectre though, don't think it will work.

Bristleback only reduces damage dealt by Basic Physical Attacks.
However, Dispersion "reduces" every single type of damage, because it's not exaclty a "reduction", but a... dispersion of damage to the enemies.
The same is valid to Borrowed Time Aghs and Soul Catcher for exemple.

Thats not how Briatelback works AT ALL.
He reduces every kind of damage except hp removal and negative regeneration. So it works on magic and pure damage.
