Vengeance was a crapass Seal and almost no Paladin used it over Righteous in most of BC. They proved once again that they prefer Horde over Alliance, and as the weeks and months went by and it was proven time and again that SoB was making BE Rets powerful, and SoV was being tossed aside because the "chance to apply a stack" wasn't worth losing the constant dmg that Righeousness provided.
They had no idea that Ret would be using nothing but Seal of Blood? LOL again. Oh they knew all right. If I assumed they didn't have ANY inkling that SoB would be our primary DPS seal to the exclusion of any other Seal, I would probably quit this game. That kind of comment is totally ignorant and naive.
