Notes

  • The Seal is based on the melee mechanics for hit and crit.
  • The seal only scales with weapon damage, not spell damage. It therefore heavily favors melee-geared Paladins (mostly Retribution Paladins), rather than spelldamage-geared Paladins. Note that the Judgement does scale with spell damage.
  • This seal is counted as a second melee strike in terms of game mechanics, meaning that the damage it deals can miss, be dodged, be blocked, and be parried. Since it deals non-physical damage, it can also be partially resisted when used against mobs that are higher level than the player. It will NOT activate Judgement of Light and Judgement of Wisdom nor any other weapon proc (fiery, mongoose, life steal procs, etc).
  • When using a fast 2-hander, this seal deals more DPS than Seal of Command. Also, the fact that it can crit makes it shine in a raid situation since Vengeance is similar to a fury warrior's Flurry in terms of how it increases the paladin's DPS.
  • Seal of the Martyr's damage inflicted to the user is not capable of causing a Reckoning proc.
  • The Paladin Retribution talents Sanctified Seals, Vengeance, and Crusade all affect the damage dealt by this seal (prior to patch 2.1.2 there was a bug that would cause it to doubly affect the returned damage component of this seal, making the returned damage more than the 10% stated on this seal's tooltip).
  • In parses, the % crit may sometimes seem off. This is normally because of the backlash (self-damage), which cannot crit. Generally, in these cases you can double the posted crit rate to determine the actual crit rate.
