The Build

Щит мстителяВеликий воин Света(Passive)Ободряющая стойкость(Azerite Trait)Первый мститель(Talent)

The first part of Великий воин Света states that when you avoid an attack you have a 30% chance *After modifications* to reset the cool-down (CD) on Щит мстителя. For melee classes; dodge, parry, and miss are all different ways you can avoid an attack. With a higher cumulative total percentage of those stats, you therefore have a higher percentage chance to avoid an attack entirely.

The second part of Великий воин Света states that Молот праведника has a chance to reset Щит мстителя upon activation. Through testing however, Благословенный молот, which replaces Молот праведника, has proven to be a more reliable talent option for DPS generation, resets, and overall mitigation than the other choices on that row (See talent section for exceptions). The reason for this is that Молот праведника requires you to be within melee range of your target and has only (2) charges. Благословенный молот has (3) charges and can be cast without requiring an enemy to be near you and out of combat.

Щит мстителяHow does this affect our mitigation?(HPS)Оплот СветаЩит праведникаОплот Света

Доблесть мстителя (This is the 20% buff that comes from using Щит мстителя) must be applied as often as possible before activating Щит праведника to ensure you are getting the most amount of physical damage mitigation. Without the 20% increased effectiveness on the armor provided by Доблесть мстителя you will not approach the cap for physical damage reduction, which is 85%. Since the primary type of damage you will take in a Mythic Dungeon is physical, we recommend you seek out the most amount of armor possible for the best results.

This build focuses on producing enough resets on your Щит мстителя to always provide the 20% increased effectiveness on Щит праведника in order to always make reaching the armor cap possible in-combat.

Recent testing has shown that Щит праведника can now stack in duration. So, it is possible to have (20) seconds on up-time on the armor buff or more. Each time you cast the spell you add 4.5 seconds to the total duration. We recommend using a Weak Aura to show you how long you have on your buff to maximize your mitigation.

Оплот Света*A more detailed explanation will be given about certain talents and stats in their designated sections of the guide*What to look for when you tank

Are you having aggro issues?
Holy damage generates the most aggro for a Protection Paladin, so maintaining up-time on holy damage spells like Освящение and Благословенный молот will help ensure you take more than 90% of all physical damage in the dungeon. Длань расплаты has an 8 sec CD, but a few crits with some holy damage spells can be just as effective.

Are there any spell casters not on your Освящение?
Protection Paladin can handle situations like this with ease thanks to the silence provided by Щит мстителя. Silenced spell casters will usually run to whomever they have aggro on, which should be the tank. In the event that the spell caster remains stationary, you can try breaking the line-of-sight (LoS) of the target and they will surely follow.

When should you use ?
This spell heals for the most based on the targets missing health. When paired with the guaranteed critical hit from activating Гнев карателя, it has the potential to heal a target back to 100%. You can use this spell on yourself or an ally, but try to save it for when the target is lower on health for the most value.

(15)Щит небесСвятилище ШтормовЗОЛОТАЯ ЖИЛА!!!ОплотЩит мстителяВнутренний свет(Azerite Trait)

Благословенный молот – Currently this serves as the best talent on the row for physical damage mitigation and DPS generation. Each time an enemy gets struck by the hammer their next auto-attack done to you is cut by 12%. We get (3) charges of this spell and with enough haste you can get the recharge time under (4) seconds. This means you should be using this spell as often as possible for shield resets, damage, and mitigation. Do not waste a global.

(30)

Первый мститель – Щит мстителя now deals 50% more damage to the first target, which will help our single-target DPS. This talent also gives us another 10% passive chance to reset the CD on Щит мстителя, which is essential for this build.

Рыцарский судПравосудиеНеудержимое правосудие(Azerite Trait)Щит праведникаПервый мстительЩит праведникаЩит мстителя(45)

– This is our only form of stock crowd-control (CC) on the class. Having the reduced CD on it is very beneficial. This talent works well in conjunction with Рыцарский суд, if you desire to take that over the recommended option.

ПокаяниеГнилая желчьСмрадная личинкаПодгнильеСлепящий свет(65)Упрямый

Кавалерист – This is our recommended choice considering Protection Paladin mobility is very limited.

Благословение защиты от заклинанийБлагословение защитыБлагословение защиты*This includes most lethal boss de-buffs*(75)Несломленный духПоследний бойНекротический

– We recommend taking this talent for its utility among the team and for its reduced CD. This is currently the only instant-cast active heal that a Protection Paladin has and being able to use it more frequently in conjunction with its passive effect makes this talent the most favorable.

(90)

Правосудие Света – This talent provides a consistent heal that comes from casting Правосудие and we recommend you take this talent over the other two options.

Освященная земляНекротическийЭгида Света(100)

Последний защитник – We recommend you take this talent for the most mitigation and DPS generation available out of the three options in this row. As you pull bigger, you take less damage and do more damage.

Azerite Traits

Оплот Света x (3) *Required

Ободряющая стойкость x (1) *Required

Щит мстителяОбодряющая стойкость

Парящий щит x (1) or (2): Extra damage on Щит мстителя because of the target cap and stacking mastery for more mitigation and attack power. We recommend this option as worth double stacking because of its benefit for tanking purposes. We also strongly encourage you to wear at least (1) at all times because of its up-time in combat. It is important to note that you can still reach the maximum amount of stacks with this trait on (1) target. If you can get a shield reset before (8) seconds, you'll continue to stack this trait until capped.

Неудержимое правосудие x (1) or (2): This trait does reduced damage because you are in a tank spec, but it is still worth having because the CD of Правосудие is much lower as a tank than the other specs. This will buff up your single target damage if you feel like you have sufficient mitigation and are interested in pumping up your DPS.

Мощь карателя x (1): This talent can boost both your DPS and mitigation while Гнев карателя is active but trying to get a piece of gear with this trait and Оплот Света will have to come from the raid, or PvP. This combination does not currently drop from Mythic+ Dungeon azerite gear.

Essences

Major:

Видение совершенства – Having the highest amount of up-time possible on Гнев карателя is critical for maintaining the highest level of mitigation, DPS, and presence possible in your Mythic+ Dungeon. Each time this essence activates you get the guaranteed critical on your next and you heal for 5% of your maximum life.

Minor(s):

Сила хранителя – This build prioritizes avoiding attacks so this essence will be a reliable passive heal that procs often.

Воспоминания о снах наяву – Getting a partial refund on your Щит праведника + Versatility for 8 seconds does well to help maintain 60% up-time on the armor buff.

Сфера подавления – This provides a consistent 5% haste buff that is active if you are taking melee damage. You can expect to see upwards of 70% up-time on the haste and 30-40% on the slow. This talent can also help you control melee targets because of the slow applied from hitting you.

Alternatives:

Раздор и противостояние – This buff is worth about 6% versatility and will increase the amount absorbed by your bulwark of light by roughly 2k. If you really need that extra healing or feel like versatility is the way to go, then wear your preference.

Эгида глубин – This is another good selection if you like to pull big. Having the increased damage reduction and healing from the versatility is a nice compliment to your already thriving mitigation.

Резонанс крови мира – Primary stat drives the base armor value from Щит праведника and the base damage + healing of most of our abilities. Taking this as a minor is a strong alternative.

Putting it all together

Щит мстителя

When you use Щит мстителя:

Hits up to (4) targets for holy damage

Gain a shield for 60k+ (Prevents all damage types)

Gain a primary stat buff (On Grand Crusader proc)

Gain a stacking mastery buff per target (If you are taking Парящий щит)

Silence/Interrupt the primary target and spell-lock them for (3) seconds

Щит мстителяЩит мстителяЩит мстителяWhat happens when you're in combat?

1 – Щит мстителя: To pull initial aggro from up to (30) yards away, hits (4) targets.

2 – Освящение: Once you’re on top of the mob you must drop this spell and maintain it 100% of the time. This spell’s CD is less than the duration of its up time. This is intentional so that if you move you can drop your Consecration again under the enemies without it ever running out. Standing in this spell is vital to you taking severely reduced damage.

3 – Щит праведника: As explained earlier, make sure to fully utilize the 20% armor buff to this spell after you use Щит мстителя. Try your best to time your usage of this ability with attacks you know will do substantial physical damage to the tank, like Сокрушение from the Оживленный голиаф in Усадьба Уэйкрестов.

4 – Правосудие: This spell only has a (4) second CD so abuse it. This spell is less important to the rotation the bigger you pull because the (2)-(4) CD refund on Щит праведника is not in high demand. With enough enemies, your Последний защитник and Оплот Света will take care of most of your mitigation needs.

5 – Благословенный молот: This is your filler spell. You should be casting this spell when Щит мстителя and Правосудие are on CD. Along with this spell providing mitigation, this spell is also going to generate many of your shield resets. It is important to note that on large mob pulls, you should prioritize this spell over Правосудие because Щит мстителя WILL be resetting nearly every global.
