Yeah I just tested its hiting the same with Sanct on or off. SotC has no effect in increasing the damage of CS and SoM AAs and Judgement. I haven’t tested our Vengeance Talent but wouldn’t be suprised if that didn’t work either. This is shocking because its not supposed to work like this.
In WoTLK Divine Storm and CS are Holy Damage but they are counted as a Spell so they do receive the benefits of the talents in our skill tree. In SoD: SoM, CS and DS are counted as a physical attack; like a Warrior Ability and I think this is what causes SoM and CS not to be counted as Spell Holy Damage so this means the game counts it as Physical Damage even though its Holy Damage and it doesn’t receive any effect from our talents.
What is crazy is that every ability in the game that does Holy Damage is counted as a Spell other than our 2 Runes (SoM and CS) which is causing the bug. They need to give these abilities a spell modifier so the game counts them as a spell so they can benefit from our talents.
This buggy interaction is causing us to have 0 value in the Retribution Tree and probably explains why Prot Paladins go into the Holy Tree over Retribution because None of our Runes get any benefit from our Talent Damage Modifiers in the Ret Tree. Exorcism and Consecration (Which Rets don’t have now) are the only abilities in our rotation that benefit from the Holy Damage talents from the Ret tree currently. This just seems like a massive oversight and massive bug. This really can explain why we are struggling so badly this phase.
