"There are no limits to what you can accomplish when you wield the Light." - Grand Marshal Goldensword^{TCGDoW 50}

Seal of Righteousness is a base ability for the paladin that comes when the character is created.

Additional Holy Damage

Holy damage is added per melee hit. This damage is constant, and does not have any critical effect. The additional damage from the Seal changes with every type of weapon, and the tooltip values are updated to reflect it. Total damage done by the Seal is moderately normalised to keep the damage on par over all weapon types. Generally, more damage from the Seal is added when using slower weapons than fast ones.

Example with a character that has a weapon with 2.10 speed, 1200 attack power and 200 spell damage:

Seal damage: 2.10 * (26.4 + 8.8) = 73.92
Judgement damage: 1 + 240 + 64 = 305

Talent improvements

Seals of the Pure increases the damage of the Seal and Judgement by 15% over 5 ranks.

Tips and tactics

Retribution Paladins: don't use Seal of Righteousness. Use Seal of Command until you have access to Seal of the Martyr or Seal of Blood.
