Protection Paladin

Patch 7.1 has landed on the live servers and we are ready to once more delve into the depths of Karazhan, prove our worth in the Trials of Valor and continue to help the Nightfallen in their bid to retake Suramar.

You can solo as Protection all day long (and it’s a blast), but you aren't tanking until you get into group content.

Hey Blizzard Watch, it’s hammer time! At the beginning of each new expansion, Protection Paladins face the decision of how to get the cap and be ready to raid with our guilds in the most expeditious way possible.

Hey, Blizzard Watch!

The Legion alpha is having some serious issues tonight, ranging from login problems to client crashes...

Another alpha build has dropped and still Truthguard has zero datamined Artifact talents to speak of.

Because there is still nothing really new under the sun to discuss about Protection Paladins in Legion, I am going to talk about something today that I have never written about in this space: PVP. Forgive me for the outsider’s perspective here and the intrusion into a facet of the game to which I am hopelessly out of my depth, but Legion appears to be poised to do something really interesting for Protection Paladins (and all tanks, really): give them a means of meaningfully participating in PVP.

When talking about the Artifact weapons of Legion and the lore that's being revealed for them, Paladin Artifacts are some of the most interesting, touching upon the origin of the Order of the Silver Hand and the fate of Watcher Tyr, the missing Watcher from Ulduar.

What changes we are receiving though will have repercussions for how our beloved spec plays and how we will be tanking with our characters in the next expansion. Some of these repercussions are good, some are concerning. It’s a little too early to begin worrying, considering nothing is finalized yet. However, a good tank is always prepared for whatever can be thrown at them, and this is nothing different.
