Retribution Paladin DPS Bug
Mini news post to point out that Blizzard is already working on the bug affecting Retribution Paladin DPS after the latest server restart. He also reminded everyone that exploiting that bug can get you suspended, rewards for you and your raid removed, etc ... So it's probably safer to not do it, it will be fixed soon enough.

Just as a reminder from the Terms of Use:

C. Rules Related to Game Play.
(i) Using or exploiting errors in design, features which have not been documented, and/or "program bugs" to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players.
As of now, the bug seems to be fixed on some realms but it seems to still be affecting other servers.

    I cant see how you can help exploiting it, seeing as Seal of Truth is one of the fundamentals of Retribution. For this not to be exploited is like saying "Ok, all you retribution paladins are not allowed to play atm, go spec Holy or something!"

    I cant imagine they're going to ban/suspend players who've used this in LFR and stuff like that, but rather people who went and got some heroic DS kills with it or got achievements or higher rating in arena/rBG

    Pretty much.

    If you did it right, you probably could have 3-manned most of heroic Dragon Soul. I'd imagine they aren't going to like that.

    How? Maybe Ret Paladin saying in trade channel: "Ret paladin Selling Arena rating"

    All US realms are being restarted, so I think they are.

    I'm sure playing normally is fine and won't get you banned.Organising a raid to heroic Madness with 25 Retri Pallies however....

    lol this is all blizz's fault, just because ret pallies felt like playing after they broke something, doesn't mean they exploited it

    They don't actually live in the offices. You know this, right?
