Protection Paladin guide

Tank. Forever turns Protection into a real tank: Seal of Fury adds holy damage and, with a shield, absorb shields to every swing, while Judgement unleashes Judgement of Fury to damage and taunt. Holy Strike (from level 6) adds holy threat between Judgements, Consecration (trained at 20) handles packs, and Holy Shield rounds out threat. Mana comes back through Shield Specialization blocks (4% of your maximum Mana per block at 2/2, at most once every 3 sec). Swift Judgement adds a second taunt and Templar's Bulwark an emergency absorb shield.

What Forever changed

Seal of Fury, Judgement of Fury, Swift Judgement, Templar's Bulwark and Holy Strike are Forever additions; the client also lists Hammer of the Righteous, a former Season of Discovery rune, as a level 40 trainer ability for Protection that hits your target and up to 3 more around it; Blizzard's notes haven't mentioned it. Judgement of Fury taunts, giving Paladins their first real taunt. Swift Judgement (tier 4) and Templar's Bulwark (tier 3) are Protection talents. Improved Seal of Fury, a talent in earlier beta builds that returned Mana when a Seal of Fury shield was used up, was removed from the tree in a late October build (Blizzard's notes: "Improved Seal of Fury removed."). Consecration and Blessing of Kings are trainer abilities at level 20 instead of talents.

Tips

• Keep a shield equipped: Seal of Fury only makes absorb shields with one.
• Holy Strike and Seal of Fury both hit off your weapon, so a high-DPS one-hander matters.
• Templar's Bulwark applies Forbearance, so it locks out Divine Shield, Divine Protection and Blessing of Protection for 1 min.
• Train Righteous Fury at level 10 and keep it on while you tank: it makes your Holy attacks build 90% more threat, and Improved Righteous Fury (up to 9% less damage taken) and Iron Creed's damage reduction only work while it is active.
