Welcome to Wowhead's Leveling 1-80 Guide for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King Classic. This guide will cover leveling viability, tips and tricks, best leveling builds, leveling rotation, cooldowns, new abilities to train, best leveling gear, best leveling professions, and best consumables for leveling.
Leveling Overview for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Protection is not the recommended talent specialization for leveling a Paladin in the Wrath of the Lich King Classic, however it can be a very rewarding and fun alternative playstyle. Between Protection and Retribution
圣骑士
specs it's the most reliant on others to excel, since the spec and role of tank is inherently about holding aggro and preventing damage to a group. Leveling as a Protection Paladin Tank in a group setting is a good way to acclimatize yourself to the tank playstyle. Through the leveling process you will find a better understanding of many of the intuitive mechanics that the game does not do a good job at showing or teaching players.
The role will require at least a basic understanding of group dynamics, it will encourage you to set up frames to give yourself a better overview of your own party and name-plates to give yourself a good survey of your sorroundings and sometimes test your spatial awareness. Further more, it will give you an insight into enemy behavior and especially enemy pathing. Ideally you will want to play with people you know, but Protection Paladin is also a very strong PuG (pick-up-group) tank.
Leveling Viability for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Protection is a middle ground tank while leveling up, we excel at medium sized mob packs ranging from 1-4 and may occasionally struggle at large groups of 6+ without some assistance from your group or extra effort on your part. We are also quite slow to get going, we don't really get the ability to tank anything more than 2 targets at level 20 and will have some problems with mana until later levels. After this point though Protection Paladin offers solid AoE DPS as well as strong survivability. Protection Paladins are not very reliant on competitive gear to keep going, strictly speaking we just want a good armor class and stamina. We use mail until level 40, when we can train to use plate. After this, strength or other stats are just icing on the cake, gearing a protection paladin is relatively cheap as you go.
Leveling Tips for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
If you are solo leveling, remember that you are very strong against larger groups of enemies and fighting just one enemy is inefficient. You also do not need more health or mana than what you require to complete one regular AoE pull. To put this into perspective, you will pull enough mobs that you end combat with no mana and as low health as you are comfortable with. This is because you will generally have to drink after any AoE pull regardless of the amount of mobs you are fighting.
If you are leveling in a group, it's good to keep in mind that you can save time by not using all your skills on cooldown. To which we mean once you have a threat lead, you can conserve mana and just sustain while your DPS does the job. That said, we have very good AoE DPS so you may have to conserve on different spells depending on what you're fighting.
Tips and tricks for you at level 80
If you choose to play Protection at level 80, you should know that tanking comes with a greater expectation of responsibility from the player than most other roles. Not to discourage you, though tanks will generally be expected to know more and effectively lead their parties in dungeon and group content. On top of this you are also, unlike healers and DPS somewhat required to meet basic gearing benchmarks as tank deaths generally mean a full group wipe. What you will and can do at 80 will greatly depend on your circumstances, for the sake of this topic we will assume that this is your first character at 80, so you do not have unlimited funds or deep pockets to simply purchase your way into adequate gear.
With the introduction of the Random Dungeon Finder, the different tiers of dungeon difficulties are gated behind average equipped item level. This means that you are in theory meant to traverse a scaling ladder of gear, going from the bottom until you are practically raid ready. In reality, this is not always possible as interest in past phase content quickly die off after a patch drop, meaning finding groups to normal, heroic unabridged dungeons can be exceedingly time consuming to the point of it being a completely unrealistic format to gear up through. As such, we will try and bypass these stages as much as possible in order to get to the latter (and higher item level) dungeon modes.
Immediately when you hit level 80, if you did not quest (or have quests remaining), we suggest that you venture into and finish the zones
冰冠冰川
&
风暴峭壁
. Quests in these zones can award you
英雄纹章
, which are used to purchase 200 item level epic gear, as well as can be converted into gold through epic gems. While not on its own impressive, these items are guaranteed upgrades over questing or normal dungeon grade equipment. Phase 2 & 3 gave us the Argent Tournament with its daily quests. These award not only gold, but also
冠军的徽记
which can be spent on entry level equipment, or converted to pets that you can trade for gold.
Reputation can also play a strong and pivotal role in your initial gearing, most reputations do not require you to invest too many hours into them in order to obtain at least some benefit. Many of the factions in Northrend can offer you blue or epic grade (187 to 200 item level) gear, as well as access to item enhancements. The best factions to target are
龙眠联军
, and
银色北伐军
. These quickly give you access to 4 good starting out pieces, the latter also awards you a strong head enhancement at revered.
We have put some emphasis on collecting gold at max level, because not only is it important for your mundane and daily activities it also permits you to purchase crafting materials to build very strong gear, or outright purchase BoEs. These items generally follow a trend of having the same item level as the 25man normal raid content that they were introduced with. This gear is guaranteed to be better than anything you can find through questing or outdoor activities and is only dwarfed (to some extent) by the Titan Rune Beta and Gamma rewards.
We are including the link to the phase 1 pre-raid BiS below, not because we think the gear is particularly strong in this phase, but because the article contains a good list of easily acquirable gear that will help you in your initial push to become
raid ready
so to say. We are also including the latest phase 4 pre-raid BiS, to highlight what (if any) end-game dungeon/BoEs you can aim for, since your gearing process is anything but linear. With that, we wish you good luck!
Phase 1 Pre-Raid BiS Phase 4 Pre-Raid BiS
Best Builds for Leveling as Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Retribution-Prot level 1-60 Paladin Tank Talent Build
This spec goes down into the Retribution tree initially to pick up the key ability
命令圣印
, which is a key cleave and single-target spell so that we can reliably hold threat on larger groups of enemies as well as give us the potential to start dealing serious damage.
Deep Prot 60+ Paladin Tank Talent Build
It's recommended that once you hit 60, you respec in order to pick up
正义之锤
, this ability acts similarily to
命令圣印
but at this point in the game, you're high enough level that you shouldn't need the earlygame crutch anymore and with most of your toolkit unlocked you will be able to push quite hard with this setup. This is also a spec that transitions very well into max level content, allowing you to go seamlessly from leveling in dungeons to gearing in them at 80.
Leveling Rotation for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Protection Paladin Tank Leveling Rotation
Between levels 1-41 the name of the game is mana management, in general our toolkit is not very interactive at the early levels and we are desperately capped on resources. The recommended way of doing things is to enter combat with a pack, as the enemies react to you drop your
奉献
, swing with your
命令圣印
. You should reserve your instants and other spells reactively in case you lose threat or if you are pulling additional mobs mid-combat, so to reduce the overall drinking required.
At 41+ you will be able to go much harder with your spells since you are now regaining mana from being in combat, the general approach is to begin the fight by casting
驱邪术
, you can tab over while casting and also use
清算之手
, on another target to generate significant initial threat on those two targets. Afterwards its more of the same, you can apply
智慧审判
to a third target and begin attacking it to start restoring mana but also building threat.
奉献
should always be active while you are fighting more than one target.
Our single-target rotation follows the same principles as gauging your mana, trying to keep it healthy so that you do not need to drink between pulls and using your discretion on how many resources you want to spend per fight.
Cooldowns for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
We have some very strong defensive cooldowns,
圣佑术
is given to us very early and can & should be used often to minimize the risk of dying as well as giving you huge potential to pull larger or more dangerous mobs.
圣盾术
can be used as a great way to stack enemies, using this while being the only player in your group that is in combat with those particular enemies will force any casters and ranged mobs to enter into melee with you, leaving them susceptible to your initial AoE threat, removing the hassle of trying to corral otherwise annoying enemies.
圣佑术
圣盾术
复仇之怒
Racial abilities like
奥术洪流
,
石像形态
, or
纳鲁的赐福
.
New Abilities 71-80 to Train for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Level 71 -
神圣恳求
,
智慧祝福
,
强效智慧祝福
This is a key level to visit your trainer, unfortunately it occurs very early on in your Northrend adventures, though it is well worth it.
Level 72 -
神圣愤怒
,
救赎
Neither of these skill-ups are worth putting your leveling on hold for.
Level 73 -
驱邪术
,
力量祝福
,
强效力量祝福
Likewise not a very impactful level for you to skill up on, though you may want to visit a trainer if you are doing group leveling with a lot of physical DPS.
Level 74 -
愤怒之锤
,
圣光闪现
,
虔诚光环
This level primarily helps you with single target damage which is not that critical for us, you can visit a trainer at this stage and pick up everything you've missed but we suggest you hold off.
Level 75 -
正义盾击
,
奉献
,
神圣之盾
,
复仇者之盾
,
圣光术
This is a massive level for us, not only does it improve multiple of our mainline skills, it adds the last piece of the puzzle to complete our toolkit that we'll be using for the remainder of the expansion.
Level 76 -
暗影抗性光环
,
惩戒光环
Not a worthwhile level to head to town over.
Level 77 -
冰霜抗性光环
,
智慧祝福
,
强效智慧祝福
Although nice if you were leveling duo with a healer or caster, it's not a very impactful level to train on.
Level 78 -
圣疗术
,
神圣愤怒
,
火焰抗性光环
We skip this level.
Level 79 -
救赎
,
圣光闪现
,
驱邪术
,
虔诚光环
,
强效力量祝福
None of these skills really improve our leveling experience.
Level 80 -

,
圣洁护盾
,
圣光术
,
愤怒之锤
,
奉献
,
复仇者之盾
,
神圣之盾
Gratulations, time to train everything!!! Kidding aside, our fat toolkit is one of the things that make us special as tanks, it is advised to train, and use every skill as they all have their niche and often times meaningful applications.
Best Leveling Weapons and Gear for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
In the early levels, we suggest that you try and find gear with a solid mix of stamina and strength, the item suffix
of the Bear
is particularly suited for our purposes, though as you gain some levels, acquiring a little of everything (except spirit) will have some impact on your leveling experience. Once you reach Outland levels you can also find suffixes such as
of the Champion, Squire, Knight, Crusade
all which are essentially improved versions over Bear. Around the time you start reaching Northrend you'll also find native tanking gear from quests, which will offer significant amounts of stamina with defensive stats such as defense rating, this gear generally also come with strength and are well suited for us, at least in some amounts.
Among the best and most important upgrades we can acquire will be weapons, gear is generally not that impactful as almost all of our damage will be generated through either weapon damage with
命令圣印
, or spells such as
奉献
which have poor scaling with stats.

Best Leveling Professions for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Most professions that provide a combat benefit like
附魔
for ring enchants like
附魔戒指 - 属性
require you to level the profession quite high to be able to unlock them or have gained reputation with factions that are difficult or impossible to obtain below level 80. These are generally small benefits and not worth the time investment just for the leveling process.
If you can spare the time
工程学
offers very strong explosives that can CC enemies, help you build threat or just blow them to smithereens.
地精暗雷
is trained at fairly low skill level and is a particularly powerful explosive that you can place down beneath a large crowd of monsters.
急救
is also a very good profession in that, if you learn it early and can keep it up to date or even ahead of time you'll find that the healing actually out-paces your own health pool. For example
厚符文布绷带
does not have a level requirement, and the requisite skill can be acquired as low as level 15. That means that you can utilize this item that is supposed to heal level 60 characters and is balanced around their health pools, almost right from the start in your leveling journey. This is a really strong tool. Ultimately though this is a luxury approach since you yourself will not be able to train and craft your own runecloth bandages nor will you have access to the resources for a long time in your leveling journey.
Best Leveling Consumables for Protection Paladin Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
厚符文布绷带
and other bandages are very strong on-demand heals, you can pair it with any of our many immunities to even heal while mid combat.
The most important consumable to have while leveling is absolutely a
超级治疗药水
. Every once in a while you will find yourself in a bad or unlucky situation while questing, and the healing potion will save your life. The potion will pay for itself just in saved repair cost, and save you a bunch of time since you won't be a ghost running back to your corpse.
活力行动药水
will break you out of CC and
自由行动药水
can be used pre-emptively against enemies with CC to make you immune to them.
超级法力药水
and
法力药水注射器
are excellent in a pinch since a single use will represent a large amount of your total mana pool allowing you to, for instance heal yourself to full and pop a potion and be ready to go again.
铁盾药水
is a major defensive potion that will drastically reduce your overall damage intake.

What is the deal with all these guides that assume that a Protection Paladin is ONLY going to level via tanking dungeons in Wrath?
By all means, list out the best method of doing so, but do it alongside the best method for leveling solo via quests as well. Or, at the very least, say in the title of the guide that this is about dungeon tanking only.
It's getting old being dictated to as to the method the OP
thinks
is the optimal way to go.

Something I think should get put into the leveling section of the guide would be how Seals/Judgements work in relation with weapon attack speeds and just which of the paladin skills count as melee attacks and can actually trigger Seals/Judgements.
Also make sure to add in the rotation section that you can put a different Judgement on every enemy your fighting(CD allowing 2-3 mobs to be judged at a time). Doing so allows you to chain pull groups of 3+ mobs and come out with max health and mana every time.
To the best of my knowledge, spells can't be blocked, so may want to mention that in the rotation for when to use Holy Shield or not!
