First of all, thanks for looking into the 2pc T9 RV crit rate Bug. I look forward to testing it.
This current bug affects both Live and Test Realms at the moment, and this is what it is:
Currently with multiple paladins putting SoV stacks on a mob/boss, the lowest stack of SoV will determine the tick damage for all of the paladins currently hitting that mob/boss. I also believe it will take away the addition 33% weapon/holy damage away from all paladins as well until everyone has a 5 stack on the boss. (perhaps other pally's could confirm/deny that point)
Here's an example:
Prot Paladin is tanking XT and has a 5 stack of SoV
Ret Paladin #1 is dpsing XT with a 5 stack of SoV
Ret Paladin #2 has a 5 stack SoV, but then gets a gravity bomb and has to run out. He doesn't make it back in time to refresh his 5 stack, and now applies a single stack on XT
In the above scenario, all of the paladins' SoV ticks will only tick at the 1 stack damage level, and I also believe none of them will be getting the 33% additional damage either.
However, here is another related bug when it comes to Judging and SoV stacks. Take the same scenario as above. When Ret Paladin #2 comes in and judges, he will judge for a 5 stack judgement, instead of a 1 stack judgement.
Pretty weird, but I was hoping you could let us know whether you see this in your testing. Its pretty amazing how much difference in threat and dps this can make on certain bosses with 2-3 pallies whackin' away.
