I can already hear Kazzak screaming.... "NOT AGAIN!!!!"

[SamR]

I had no idea about the bug, but someone in general linked a recount from LFR of somebody doing 130k DPS and asked how that was possible. I thought it was just a bugged combat log or something. Lol.

I didn't have a chance to experience this awesomeness on my pally /sadface

Me neither, but I just heard that an alliance guild on my realm got Realm First DW by exploiting this bug. They even have the video of it on their site...
Here's hoping they get banned.
I understand Blizz won't ban every single Paladin, but getting a realm first because you exploited a bug is kinda bannable in my opinion.

Reckoning bomb v2

Windfury v2 as well

OP's post made me lol so hard.

Just woooooooooow.

[Theholypally]

This and and the days of reckoning bombs will be forever remembered

Here's hoping the guilds that abused this to down heroic content get a ban and their achievements removed though.

And people still complain about mages being OP dps.

How is this possible? :O

There was a bug introduced with the hotfix that caused Seal's to glitch, doing insane damage. The bug lasted anywhere from 20-minutes to a few hours, depending on your location, before Blizz fixed it. However, for that breif time Ret Paladin were doing 200k dps in LFR, and one-shotting entire groups of people with Divine Storm in BG's.

EDIT:
An exploit is when you knowingly abuse a bug or otherwise unintended game mechanic in your favor. I hope that everyone who abused this to gain loot and acheivements receive bans and a lose of what ever they got.

thats exactly what will happen, and if you know specific people, hell ticket their asses

There are varying degrees of this. Sometimes what seems like an exploit gets the "clever use of game mechanics" response. First example that pops to mind is the way Invisibility used to grant immunity on effect. This was used by many to cheese things like Smouldering Devastation.

Dont worry Im sure wol wont be plagued by ret paladins at the top for very long. Hope the WoL mods get to deleting all these failadins fast.

I think bannable is a bit harsh, but getting your achievement / realm first taken away would be better.

Wouldn't a ret paladin instantly overaggro the tank and die anyway? Yes bubble once, and then?

thats exactly what was happening in LFR with 2 ret paladins

[Nobleshield]

Ah I wish I had logged on my Pally just to have some fun in BGs, not try to cheese anything but run around pretending I'm like Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors and decimating anyone and everyone.

Why the exact same copy of a Thread sometimes gets closed whilst at other times Moderators even contribute themselves.

Wot makes this thread more speshil than the others?

I think it's funny they infracted the third post, no reason to do that really.

Nice ress though =p
