Common questions
What is the Defense skill in WoW Forever?
Defense is a passive combat skill every character has, shown as Defense in the client. A higher Defense Skill lowers the chance enemies hit or critically hit you and raises your block, dodge and parry, which is why it matters most to tanks.
Two Protection talents raise it in Forever, both named Anticipation and both five ranks that give up to 20 Defense Skill at 5/5. The Warrior's Anticipation sits in Protection tier 2 (from level 15) and the Paladin's Anticipation in Protection tier 4 (from level 25). The Warrior build leans on Anticipation as its main passive Defense once talented.
