Improved seal of righteousness is broken and actually gets reduced at Talent level 3

Support Bug Report
1

I have the weirdest sense of deja vu that I discovered this issue years ago during vanilla, but it was so long ago and I have such a bad memory that I can’t be sure, I just feel like I noticed this bug before years ago. I played a little vanilla and burning crusade casually then stopped the game for years and only just got back into it about a month ago.

I am playing on Anniversary realms. I have a really cool and totally groovy Paladin called Supergary. Unfortunately, Supergary has a problem that might need fixing, and it might take more than sitting in a cave with a box of scraps.

Improved seal of righteousness is broken and at talent level 3 it says damage is reduced and it does does less damage than at talent level 2, then at talent level 4 it does +1 min and max damage on hit compared to the other ranks, but the same damage as level 2 for the unleash.

I cannot tell if this is actually just an issue with the tooltip and if it actually does damage properly or not because of the randomness of damage when hitting things and/or unleashing it.

I noticed something weird about it and spent a gold to relearn my talents and check the damage at each level. May I please get my gold refunded? I am new and I don’t have a lot of money to spend on testing things like this. It might not be much to some people but at low levels for new players, a gold is about an hour or more of real time spent fishing or mining copper or herbs.

I have screenshots of it if you want, but this is what it says in the tooltip;

Seal- rank 2

Talent level
0- 3-12 holy, unleash 36-39
1- 3-13 holy, unleash 37-40
2- 3-13 holy, unleash 40-44
3- 3-13 holy, unleash 39-42
4- 4-14 holy, unleash 40-44

I am only level 18 so I don’t have enough talent points to put a 5th in to see what the result is for that, but I am assuming it will also be lower than it should be.

I am also assuming it is broken at every rank, but have no way of testing that. I don’t really want to pay gold and unlearn my talents again next time I rank up to rank 3 just to test it out.

Edit.
I just upgraded seal to rank 3 at the trainer.
at talent level 4 the tooltip for rank 3 says
4-15 holy on hit, Unleash 43 to 49.
I get the feeling it is bugged for all ranks and should be higher at rank 3 with 4 talent points because that doesn’t seem like much of an improvement over rank 2 with 2 talent points. I really really really don’t want to spend gold to relearn my talent points to test out base rank 3 with no talents and then each talent point again.

this is so minor i doubt anything will get changed of it but def seems weird, you gotta remember its very small % and level is still low

I’m really peeved because I spent a gold to make sure I was correct about the glitch and now if I want to change my talents its going to cost me 5 gold. I’m stuck with a broken talent that isn’t as good as others and its not worth 5 gold to respec.

I’m doubly peeved because I am sure I found the glitch years ago and had it fixed but blizzard appear to be using glitchy versions of wow which I didn’t realise when I started.

I would have played on a private server if I realized blizzard was just scamming everyone by taking money and doing no work. I can see why the private servers are so popular. At least on private servers, people actually do a good job of listening to the players and making the game good.

The fact that I posted this almost a week ago and nobody from blizzard has even acknowledged it is in the game says everything. I have seen a ton of content lately on Turtle wow and everyone loves it and the support is great. The only reason Blizzard are trying to shut if down is because it makes Blizzard look terrible so everyone is leaving Blizzard and shifting over to somewhere where the people care about the game.
