Lightsworn: Finding a place for Protection Paladins in Legion PVP

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.

Lightsworn: Protection Paladin changes in Legion

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.
