    Update on Retribution Paladin Bug

    Diablo 3 - 100,000 Diablo III Beta Invites

    Update on Retribution Paladin Bug
    The bug has been fixed and unless you've been a really big meaniepants, you won't get banned for playing your ret paladin yesterday.

This bug came as a result of a hotfix we put in to fix an issue where some attacks, such as Scatter Shot, were still causing Vengeance in PvP situations. While these things may seem totally unrelated, it has to do with our proc system, which is an extremely complicated mechanic under the hood. We reverted that hotfix, meaning you may sometimes see Vengeance in PvP. But we don’t think that will present a major balance concern at this time.

    To be clear, we have no current plans to take action against players who experienced this bug last night unless we come across any extreme cases. The error was ours and we haven’t seen any evidence -- so far -- of players excessively exploiting the bug. We reserve the right to take action if we do find evidence of players crossing the line to repeatedly exploit this bug for major in-game advantages.

    Apparently some Ret's got together and killed Rhyolith in 15 seconds with this bug. I'd like to see that.

    It was fun while it lasted. I'm glad to see Bliz isn't going to punish rets for playing their class.

    Blizz should ban people who used it to get first kills in DS hc or got arena rating beyond their skills, like 0-2.5k.

    I heard some guilds downed Spine and Madness heroic thanks to this, and they will get away with it? What's the meaning of PTR servers if bugs like this are on live servers? :S

    I can't imagine how screwed up Blizzard's code is that attempting to remove Vengeance in PVP somehow causes ret paladins to do 250k DPS.

    Its a bit unfair for the guilds with rets that got server firsts. Due to this bug, apparently not working looking into on blizz's behalf.

    its more then that though... all of a sudden your guild rushes into get some guild first kills because of you having this bonus =/= playing your class.. its abusing ASAP to get rewarded...

    For those who were just playing and it happened, thats one thing, but for people who went to 2k arena rating in a matter of minutes... well ya

    yeah it was kind of funny, not sure if it was the group I was in or not buy four ret pallys killed ryho by DPSing his legs down and he died but nobody got credit and he didn't drop any loot.

    I didn't. Had some fun in BGs as I normally would, but didn't realize that's why I was hitting so hard. XD
