01 Simple Prot Leveling Guide

Dodge - the nice thing about(WoW Gold) dodging is that it is FULL damage mitigation. If you dodge, you take NO damage unlike a block which just reduces the amount of damage taken. Dodging and parrying are brilliant ways to improve your mitigation so look into getting as much as possible!

I've been getting a great deal of (WoW Gold)super replies adding helpful information about potential changes to the protection talent tree and possible changes anyone and everyone should make by the time they reach level 70 and I wanted to point them out and perhaps give you guys a bit of an explanation as well so here goes!

The one thing to remember is that paladins generate a LOT of passive aggro. This means that if we lose the aggro, we need to use mana to regain it, but once the mobs are hitting us, they should be taking enough damage from ret+sanctuary etc that we don't NEED to spend any more mana tanking. Our buffs do it for us :) "contributed by Laithe

At level 70, all of the points that I recommended putting into your holy tree pretty much become useless and will therefore be switched into both the prot and retribution trees for max tanking effect. The loss of the 10% strength and 10% intellect in the holy tree is extremely negligible as we as protection paladins are already recieving a bit too much intellect on our tanking gear as it is. And I've already explained how strength is less than a perfect attribute for us as well so that's self explanatory. The actual "heal helps" below that, the 70% reduction in push back time etc are entirely unnecessary, and should therefore be moved.

Benediction - Putting 5 points into this talent reduces the mana cost of your seals and judgements by 15%. To put it simply, your seal of the crusader, and seal of righteousness, as well as your judgements for (WoW Gold)both of these cost 15% less. Helps with mana efficiency while tanking and if you put 2 points into improved judgement which I'll talk about in a moment, you can seriously talk major threat for minimum cost. Not the alpha and omega of tier 1 talents but certainly better than Imp. Blessing of Might. Throw 5 in.
