Witch Doctor's Death Ward deals PHYSICAL DAMAGE OMFG!!!!!

[baby papi of a heroin addict]

Death Ward deals PHYSICAL DAMAGE, written PURE DAMAGE, pierces debuff immunity, but Sven's Warcry reduces ward's damage which is how I figured out the ♥♥♥♥ about physical damage.
♥♥♥♥ knows how he deals at lvl3 ward ~236 damage on target with 25% phys res, either.
Where those numbers come from when ward's damage isn't affected by status of WD himself (Mage Slayer Debuff, Bane's Enfeeble).
Only with aghanim, but only on secondary targets, the ward deals pure damage that pierces through bkb etc and deals 135-136 damage how it supposed to be.
♥♥♥♥ you smoking??? Make clear description:
"Deals physical damage, with aghanim deals pure damage on secondary targets"
Is it hard?
Edit: Ward deals 135 physical damage + 135 pure damage to main target which is why u get 236 damage with 25% phys res. (135*0.75+135=236).
So, the info about physical damage part is completely hidden in the game and it's wrong, cuz we now have abilities that allow us to deal magical damage with autoattacks on ethereal and/or physical damage immunity targets.

Since the ward requires to hit the target therefore ghost scepter can be useful in that scenario just like enchantress and od Q which can be avoided by ghost scepter but aoe spells like counter helix black hole blood rite etc cannot be dodged via ghost scepter
