Please don’t force us to utilize a game bug and Seal Twist if we want to be competitive. Buff the Seal Stacking shoulder enchant please for the love of God.

You do know that abusing a known bug is an actionable offense, right?
Yes, it is. Blizzard added Seal Twisting to SoD after paladins asked for it and continues to buff it in game. It’s not classified as a “bug” really though, as it’s a play style introduced in TBC.
Your argument is inconsistent and doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. Initially, you complained,
implying that Seal Twist is an unintended, exploitative bug that’s unfairly forcing a particular play style on competitive players. That’s why my response pointed out,
because, from that standpoint, you’re effectively saying we should steer clear of a problematic exploit.
Yet now you claim,
This directly contradicts your earlier position. If Blizzard intentionally added and buffed Seal Twist as a legitimate play style, then it isn’t a bug at all—it’s a designed mechanic. How can you then demand not to be forced into using something that isn’t even considered an exploit? You simply can’t have it both ways.
If Seal Twist is a deliberate, supported mechanic, then dismissing it as a bug undermines your original complaint and the criticism of being forced to use it. On the other hand, if you truly believe it’s an exploit, then my previous comment about abusing a known bug being actionable remains entirely valid. Your shifting stance only muddies the waters and contradicts your own arguments.
Clarification on your true position would be appreciated, as the current stance seems self-contradictory.
Seal Twisting isn’t fun. Seal Stacking needs to be buffed. Does that help? It began as a bug in TBC, or so I have read, and was added as a playstyle in SoD.
I really like seal twisting, it’s an engaging playstyle.
Alright, let’s break this down:
- Contradictory Positioning: You’re arguing that Seal Twisting isn’t fun and that Seal Stacking needs a buff, yet you also acknowledge that Seal Twisting began as a bug in TBC and was later legitimized as a playstyle in SoD. This means you’re effectively admitting that it’s an intended mechanic. If it’s official, you can’t simultaneously claim it’s an exploit that shouldn’t be forced on players.
- Forced Choice Issue: Initially, you stated that being forced to use a “game bug” (Seal Twisting) puts competitive players at a disadvantage, which led to the call for buffing Seal Stacking. Now, if Seal Twisting is a bona fide playstyle that Blizzard supports, then demanding its removal or replacement is inherently contradictory. You can’t overlook it as a bug while using its existence to justify an alternative buff.
- Subjectivity Doesn’t Solve Mechanics: Saying “Seal Twisting isn’t fun” is a subjective opinion. Even if it isn’t your preferred playstyle, its legitimacy is confirmed by Blizzard’s implementation and continued support. If you feel Seal Stacking is underpowered, then that’s a separate balance issue, not an excuse to dismiss a mechanic that’s been officially adopted.
In short, you’re essentially having it both ways: on one hand, you criticize Seal Twisting as an exploit and an imposition, and on the other, you accept its official status as a legitimate playstyle. Which is it? Either it’s a bug by nature that shouldn’t be forced on players, or it’s a valid mechanic that exists alongside Seal Stacking. The inconsistency in your argument doesn’t help your case.
