@ GC: How to reproduce the Judgment Bug

Ok, so every pally knows about this bug, and hates it with a passion. The hardest thing about getting Dev's to look into fixing a bug is not knowing what causes it. Well, I think this will help.

Go find a mob with a decent amount of HP for the damage you do, and then:

1. Use Seal of Command
2. HoJ the mob
3. Judge any of the Judgments(lets say Light for this test)
4. Wait for Judgment to cooldown
5. Re-judge with the same Judgment


This will reproduce the bug nearly 100% of the time.(unless the second judgment crits)

We've seen lots of reports of how to reproduce the bug. Many of them didn't actually reproduce the bug consistently. Maybe Hammer is the key to this one, but we won't know until some additional testing.

I don't read the class forums. We left those active as a place for players to discuss very class-specific issues, such as which spec to use or what gear to try. Balance and mechanics are most certainly not class specific issues, which is why we want to handle them here.

Okay, we think we have been able to isolate this bug and put in a fix that prevents Judgements from failing any longer. Assuming a little more testing supports this conclusion we plan on hotfixing this.

Sorry you had to endure it for so long. :(
