Protection Paladin Leveling Guide Wrath - WotLK Classic

prop paladins the righteous protectors and wielders of the light always putting themselves In Harm's Way to safeguard their allies hello hello everyone it's ego and today we will be looking at the prot Paladin leveling in Wrath of the Lich King Classic there's been so many changes to prop Paladin so whether you're coming in from TBC or you just boosted a paladin fresh this guide will help you with your talents leveling paths and rotation and more if you're looking for a specific section I've divided this video into chapters for you so just take a look on your little scroll bar you'll be able to see where you need to go towards the end of the video I've also included some short gameplay for you all to enjoy protection paladins are top tier tanks in Wrath of the Lich King they have great AOE threat single Target threat sustainability and a great toolkit of abilities that not only help themselves but their party as well I dare to say it's my favorite tanking class in the game hey everyone before we continue don't forget to subscribe it's free it's show support and it really does help the channel grow don't forget to also leave a like before you leave thanks everyone let's get back to the video the primary style that a lot of people think of when it comes to prop Paladin leveling is dungeon grinding and you're right it's an effective way to blast through your levels we will talk about questing too but for now let's look at the dungeons the reason I say that dungeons is the primary way that prop paladins will level is because you can realistically control the speed that the dungeon progresses especially if you have the gear to manage bigger pulls however even if you don't have the gear to do bigger pulls you could always chain pull mobs to Breeze through your dungeons fast especially because protection paladins comes with a lot of AOE capabilities threat generation and sustain so you will rarely ever have to stop if you're playing right we'll go more in depth on that in the rotation section of the guide so for the dungeons you'll want to be sure your defense capped as always which is 490 for level 73 bosses and 540 As you move into the level 83 bosses this will stop you from getting critical hit and dying quickly it's also important that if you're leveling through dungeons that you're in the right dungeon make sure that you're in a dungeon appropriate for your level range so that you're not getting slapped around like a rag doll I made a video on the order in which you should grind the dungeons I'll leave a link to that down below now believe it or not prop paladins actually aren't the worst spec to Quest as I personally thought it would be at first until I actually tried it out now granted they're not as great as a you know Retribution Paladin for example but if you can't afford dual spec and you don't want to be constantly respecting back and forth to go tank Dungeons and then to go Quest just know that proc questing isn't actually that bad the talents won't change I actually did my questing in the same talents that I did my dungeons in as a prop Paladin you'll be very tanky as you should be so you'll be able to grab lots of mobs and AOE them down all together most of the time you won't even see a dent in your health pool or your Mana this means you can chain pull your mobs in larger packs to complete your quests fast though some may argue that dungeon grinding is the only way to go I sincerely don't believe that questing can be an amazing way to get gold XP gear and reputations even as a protection Paladin alright let's go quickly through these talents so we're going to start in the protection tree we're going to have 5 out of five in Divine strength increasing our strength we're going to have 5 out of 5 in anticipation giving us that extra Dodge we're going to of course pick up Divine sacrifice which is a brand new ability here in Wrath of Lich King which basically transfers a lot of damage from other people around you to yourself and then we're going to of course grab improve righteous fury it's going to give us that extra um survivability it's going to reduce the damage we take while righteous Fury is up and as a prop Paladin you're always going to have it up because that's what generates your threat we're gonna go five out of 5 in toughness which increases the armor value of our items and then also reduces the duration of movement slowing effects we're going to grab Divine Guardian so when Divine sacrifice is activated your party and raid members within 30 yards take 20 reduced damage for six seconds in addition increase the duration of your sacred Shield by 100 and the amount absorbed by 20 now you only get your sacred Shield at level 80. however Divine guard and still gives your party that extra survivability and not just yourself now you're going to need to get blessing of sanctuary Sanctuary was changed coming into Wrath of the Lich King so it Al actually generates Mana two percent of your Mana whenever you block Perry or Dodge anything so this is going to be a must-have Talent for the leveling portion I grabbed Reckoning three out of five the reason why is because when you're doing AOE grinding and you pair with seal a command you're just getting that many more AOE strikes going in that just equals a lot more damage now when you get into the rating scene you can always swap these three points of Reckoning into improved devotion Aura if ever you're main tanking bosses and stuff like that so again you can swap these points when you hit Level 80 that is A-Okay next up we're gonna pick up sacred Duty which increases your stamina and reduces the cooldown of your Divine shield and also your Divine um protection spells right here which is a if ever you're doing a really big pull Divine protection is going to be the way that you can mitigate a lot of that damage so it's good to have a reduced cooldown on that one-handed spec so you're going to increase all damage you deal with one-headed melee weapon so this is just going to increase your threat it's going to increase your damage it's going to make you a lot uh better on the offensive side spiritual Attunement so basically every time that you get healed you get a percentage back as Mana this is required paired with blessing Sanctuary you won't really need to sit down and drink a lot now you're also going to grab holy Shield which increases your chance to block this is going to again proc off your blessing of sanctuary keeping your Mata pool up and it's also going to mitigate a lot of damage another big talent that comes in with Wrath of the Lich King is Ardent Defender so damage that it takes you below 35 health is reduced by 20 in addition attacks which would otherwise kill you cause you to be healed by up to 30 of your maximum health and then this healing cannot occur occur more than once every two minutes this Talent is a great thing for paladins because I believe it's the only tank that has this where instead of being just drop dead and you just die you instead get a reset button and you get put to 30 Health which will let healers get that extra heal off that would have otherwise saved you so it's really good for preventing raid wipes moving on we've got readout so increases your block value by 30 and damaging melee and range attacks against you have a 10 chance to increase your chance to block by 30 percent Moving On Combat expertise so this is just an expertise um boost by six and increases your stamina and chance to critically hit next we move on to touch by light so increase your spell Power by an amount equal to 60 of your strength this Talent is what changed from the burning crusade to Wrath of the Lich King making it that prop paladins no longer need to stack spell power instead they stack strength so this is really what changed the brought Paladin into what a unit it is right now is because of this change so it also increases the amount healed by your critical heals by 30 that's not as important as the strength conversion Avenger Shield so this is going to be an instant cast before it was a channeling or not a channeling cast but it was a cast time now it's instant and it's a great way to open up on target so it's actually a glyph if ever you're wanting to turn this into a single uh Target thing but you could always do that for PVP which honestly I plan to do a whole of the guide of so I won't talk too much about that guarded by the lights reduces all spell damage taken by six percent and gives a hundred percent chance to refresh the duration of your Divine plea which Divine plea gives you 20 of your total 25 of your total Mama Mana over 15 seconds my goodness I'm stumbling over by words but the amount healed by your flash of light and holy light and holy shock spouse is reduced by 50 now as a prep Paladin you're not healing right so this is essentially just free Mana coming in next up we're moving on to Shield of the temple I reduces all damage taken by three percent again just another mitigation thing and grants your Avengers shield 100 chance to silence your targets for three seconds this is more prominent when it comes to dungeon leveling however in raids The Shield of the Templar will only be good for the uh damage reduction because a lot of the mobs that you'll be fighting primarily bosses will be immune to silences now right here is judgments of the just now I picked this up for the leveling side of things if you wanted to swap judgments of the just and put this into let's say uh another spiritual Attunement or if like you want to grab maybe some Reckoning or you want to put those two into improved devotion or if you even want to go up to the um stoicism to reduce the stun effects you absolutely can I put it in here for the leveling because it reduces the cooldown of your Hammer of justice so you're able to get those stuns off more often it also increases the duration of your seal of Justice by one second and your judgment spells also reduce the melee attack speed of the Target by 20 so it's essentially just going to make it that you're getting hit less you're able to stun targets more often the Judgment of Justice by one second is not really the big thing it's the other two parts that I grabbed those for but again you could swap the set if you'd like and then finally the amazing ability that comes with wrath as well is Hammer of the righteous this is a huge AOE ability that comes with your consecration it now has Hammer of Justice as a prop Paladin for AOE so hammer the current Target at up to two additional nearby Targets causing four times your main hand damage per second as holy damage so this is an amazing ability and it'll definitely pump up your AOE uh capabilities moving on we go away from the holy tree we jump right into the retribution tree so we're going to go five out of five in deflection which increases our Parry chance we're going to go down to improve judgment which basically just lets us do our judgments more often part of the Crusader in addition to the normal effect of our judgments you will also increase the Critical Strike chance of all attacks made against that Target by an additional three percent so it's just straight up more damage Vindication so this is going to again reduce the attack power it's going to add to our survivability seal of command so this is a must-have when you're doing AOE packs because you're going to be striking up to two additional targets whenever you'll uh whenever you are hitting something and then pursuit of Justice two out of two is what you're going to Snug up now I'm only at level 77 but my next three are going to go into Crusade which increases all the damage caused by one percent and all damage caused against uh humanoids and undeads by an additional uh three percent lets you Max it out so that's just going to be a straight up damage increase so for your rotation quite simple you're going to make sure your holy Shields up ideally you would open with a um with an Avenger Shield you're going to make sure you have seal of command up when you're dealing with multiple targets and like I said I know that I can hold more so I'm going to pull more because I know what my gear is I know my limitation you're going to keep Divine plea up to make sure you get your Mana back as you can see I've got sanctuary we didn't lose aggro on that guy so we're good you know you're using seal of righteous and so we know that our healer is good on Mana so we're gonna go keep pulling so we're gonna go in here pop cons Ile of righteous or sorry Hammer of the righteousness keep going we're gonna pull this guy in and we're gonna Judgment of light you get Judgment of wisdom if your rat is using Judgment of Light which he might yeah it seems like he is using Judgment of light so we just pulled more we're gonna make sure that we grab everything we're gonna bring everything over to this guy so our healer is still full Mana mind you this entire time your rotation is quite simple as you can see because of our talents Divine plea is still up we're not low on Mana whatsoever the rest of our team is pretty good on Mana too so that means if everybody's man is good you keep pulling you keep going you don't stop so again we open with the Avengers shield Hammer of righteousness we're gonna keep our um our judgments up we're gonna make sure holy Shield is up and you just keep spamming you just keep going that's it you just keep going if things get a little dicey you've got Divine protection that you can use and your rotation pretty much stays this simple even when you're questing so again we're gonna grab more right we're gonna just keep going oh we accidentally bubbled there that's fine so that's that and so we're gonna keep going we're gonna go down to this boss here so we're going to grab this guy with a judgment we're gonna go ahead and shield him righteous hymn pop consecrate we're gonna hold everything as you can see our divine plea has not fallen off this entire time we haven't needed to refresh it so we've got that Mana we're doing great healer's not having to really do much I Judgment of light just purely because of the fact that that's my my basic judgment um that's typically the Judgment you're going to want to do whenever you are requesting and yeah your rotation stays stays this this simple now one thing I did want to mention is that I forgot to mention with the last boss is Seal of command when you're going actually in a single Target you're going to want to go to seal of corruption because silica command becomes useless because you're only against one target so again open with Avenger Shield die put a judgment up consecrate make sure your divine please up holy Shield all that stuff all that great stuff and then you just uh tank and spank really that's that's the basics of uh Paladin tanking really so again that's that uh that corruption is gonna just add to that damage so she's putting up her pools yeah you can see so the uh seal of corruption is a big damager here I gotta make sure my holy Shield is up and this is the like I said the basics that's it that's all boom she's down but yeah switch your seal whenever you're going uh from melee to or sorry from multi-target to single Target that concludes this guide for protection Paladin if you made it to the end of the video thank you so much you're an absolute Legend if you enjoyed the video don't forget
