[paladins] judgments are physical and violets are blue

Thanks for the report Arrix. This is not actually a bug, Judgement for various technical reasons is considered a melee attack and therefor can not be used while blessing of protection or divine protection is active.

I'm speechless.
"Not a bug". Judgment of Righteousness is holy damage, is scaling with spell power, is using *spell hit* (confirmed by blizzard), yet "considered melee for various reasons" so you can't judge a target immune to melee dge.
I am not even mentioning we can't judge while silenced.

Brilliant really, especially after what - 3 years ?

It has very little consequences I guess but it makes me wonder what other surprises Blizzard has for us.
Did you never think something was terribly wrong in the abilities you use ? It might not be a bug yet more than a feeling, just something wrong for technical reasons \o/

'Rend': With the 2h T3 blacksmith weapon, 2206 attack power (it has a weapon damage and AP dependent element), costing 10 rage, it does 235 damage spread out over 21 seconds at lvl 70.
Comparison: average auto-swing damage ~800-900

Not quite in the same category as Shy's example but it is part of how things are working as intended.
