Best Protection Paladin Raid Talent Build

This build primarily focuses on single target, avoiding some of the aoe/extra target talents as they provide no value here.

]
This build is simple and easy. As long as you are using Judgment/Blessed Hammer as much as possible and spending your Holy power you will be doing majority of what is required.

Best Protection Paladin Mythic+ Talent Build

This build is fairly similar to the raid build, with a couple more AoE oriented talents to ensure we are hitting as many targets as possible and dealing the best damage we can.

]
The playstyle of this build is essentially the same as the raid build. As with most tanks, AoE is baked into our natural toolkit, therefore we always passively cleave. The talents taken just focus on buffing that passive cleave further.

heading=false]

]
This build heavily revolves around cooldowns such as Avenging Wrath and Divine Toll to line up every minute and provide enormous AoE burst. While lacking a bit on the single target front, the burst AoE more than makes up for it overall.

Best Protection Paladin Delve Talent Build

This is a comfortable and simple Templar build. Rotationally the same, with more AoE oriented talents.

I have to assume the person who put these talent trees together is trolling us. That M+ Paladin class tree is a bad joke. Oh, and the Lightsmith M+ spec tree. Come on. You just can't be serious.

Comment by Dindong

How is sentinel not even mentioned for m+? How on earth is templar somehow marked equal to lightsmith in m+ when reflection of radiance alone is better than the whole templar tree? No wonder prot paladins are at the top of death charts when people just copy a build.

All the builds are outdated. The Class tree now starts with two talents, not three.
