Contrary to your personal lack of skills retribution paladin PVP is actually very good assuming you understand the fundamentals of Team play and how to actually set up Paladin damage.
You do not need this exploit to 1 shot leather classes playing a paladin, they can do it just fine without abusing a bug.
This bug can get in line behind the vanish bug, the feign death bug and the horrendous bug that has honor not being counted. This is small potatoes in comparison
Its not reproccing it (hoj) - its giving a melee swing AND 2 extra attacks by stopping and restarting your attack as it procs - i think this is an issue with spell batching because the game sees the swing that procs it, setting your next swing to 0 time but you stopped swinging. Then you start the attack again with a swing time of zero and because of spell batching the game still registers as having an extra attack banked. Im sure if you could click the macro faster between batched (400ms) swings - you would see more attacks.
Either way, abusing an ingame bug (sit/stand should NOT be giving rek stacks and is broken like enrage/blood craze on a warrior) can be considered an exploit.
I also created a thread about this when a certain streamer was testing how it can be abused in strath UD. The thread was deleted because it was deemed to not be doing enough damage to make it worth it.
Hand of Justice is a 2% proc chance. Is the macro altering that in some way?
As far as I can tell, the only thing the macro should be doing is preventing you from ever getting a normal white swing, thus requiring that an extra-attack already proc before you start spamming it if you want anything good to happen.
Exactly true. But running around in the game 1-2 shotting players and making this the meta? Thats not what we should be doing. Streaming this to 10k+ players and labeling it as âtestingâ so you can break the ret pally meta does ntohing great for the game.
Does not look bad until you realize how powerful that is in tandem with Reckoning and Seal of Command or Seal of Righteousness; both are considered an extra melee swing that can indeed proc Hoj.
Have a look at the video again, he does a decent job explaining the math and why its so strong.
2% chance on every single attack you do. It can reproc on itself with no internal cooldown. It scales forever with getter gear. By abusing this macro and rek - your 2% proc chance became 10% chance (5 melee swings in the same timestamp).
Dont you understand how it can scale? Its not like it only has a 2% per global to proc.
