Bug type: Gameplay

Brief bug summary:
Paladin's Elemental Charge does not decrease the %HP damage of Zakum's Arms

More details:
Zakum's arms will still one shot you even if Elemental Charge is stacked to full.
(Tested on Normal and Chaos)
Elemental Charge decreases all damage, even "damage proportional to max HP" , by 2% per stack. However, this does NOT apply to Zakum's arms.
I believe this is a bug because Mihile's Soul Asylum DOES reduce the damage from Zakum's arms, and it has a similar description.
(Also of note: Mihile's Shield of Light also reduces the damage taken, as it should.)

Steps to reproduce:
Enter Normal or Chaos Zakum as a White Knight or Paladin.
Charge Elemental Charge any amount of stacks.
Purposely get hit by Zakum's arm at full HP.
Notice how you still die, even though you should take 2-10% less damage, due to Elemental Charge.
(Tested on Mihile using Royal Guard, you do take 10% less damage from Zakum's arms.)

Character name: any, tested on multiple paladins (most recent ArcaneHammer)

Character level: any, but 90+ required for Zakum (ArcaneHammer was 107 at the time)

Character job: Paladin

World name: any
