Protection Paladin 6.2

Recommended Posts

Shame the guide isn't being updated at all. Had the topic on my watchlist for a few months now; nothing. I'd do it for free if I could.

 

I'm sorry you feel that way. Could you be more specific about what parts of the guide should be updated? It does receive updates, as frequently as it seems needed (stat priority was updated not long ago, for example). Thank you!

Don't know if it is in the works, but the rotation portion of the guide still makes reference to Seal of Truth which is no longer available to protection paladins.

The current prot guide recommends ElvUI as an overall UI replacement mod.  I first tried ElvUI before the news broke about the backdoor; when the backdoor was revealed,  I dropped it.

 

I miss ElvUI a lot, it was an awesome mod, I know the issue was fixed, but I refuse to have anything on my system where the devs so blatantly leave such a hole in their programming (either maliciously or not).  I'm NOT trying to start an argument about the backdoor issue -- I just want to know if you can recommend good alternatives to ElvUI for us Prot Pallies.  Anyone?  Please?

Please update the guide, some things are out of date and need to be checked, such as Seraphim does not increase stats by 1000 anymore but rather 750, the guide overall is excellent.

This guide is great at the start of an expansion. However it is largely ignored as things change with patches.  Being the leading resource for stat priorities and rotation suggestions, I would think u guys would take some pride in your website. At this point it is worthless to me....

A second question - I googled it but didn't find a satisfying answer - is there a way to make a macro so the player with the lowest health is tareted with my holy prism? Would it also be possible to target the player with the highest threat, besides the tanks?

I like to use holy prism a lot to generate threat when several adds are involved.

 

Thanks in avance for your answer.

Cheers

Hello,

@ Guest Telataur

 

TL;DR 

you can't make a macro for auto-targeting people following specific criteria (health, threat, etc.). Make a mouseover macro

 

 

about your second question, simply wanted to say that you'll never find a macro of this kind. It would make a decision for you, which is against what WoW devs wants, so they locked that kind of options. BUT, that being said, you could make a macro for "mouseover". I don't have any from top of my head but those are easily found. Hope you found something suiting your needs

''This guide has been reviewed and approved by Slootbag, one of the best Protection Paladins in the world'' Is that a joke lol? There are many, many better prots out there with way higher item level, that paladin has very crappy stats balance.

Thanks for pointing this out, removing the mention now.

I'd just like to point out that item level is hardly the most important part, especially when we are talking about players raiding in top of the line progression guilds where switching between characters all the time is important.

On Protection Paladin Singe Target Priority List, there is a link to old version of "Sanctified Wrath". The link lists a version of "Sactified Wrath" which changes the effect of "Avenging Wrath" and "Avenging Wrath" isn't available to Protection Paladins any more.

Just wanted some clarity, is Versatility actually supposed to be sixth in priority? Other sources show it as being second to Bonus Armor. Please confirm.

Trying to figure out why the description says 4 pc t18 isnt worth getting and why it says that BRF trinkets are BIS options when there are far better options from HFC.

I have a macro you need to add to macros for using empowered seals making cycling easier.

Macro is as follows-

#showtooltip

/castsequence reset=6 judgement, seal of righteousness, judgement, seal of insight

-End macro

Hope to see this put into the guide I feel it will help new paladin tanks thank you!

Hey Vlad,

 

sorry for the late response!

 

I had listed specific suggestions for updates in a post I made on page 2 of this thread; the lack of response to it is what prompted the frustrated second post.

 

Thanks for your work on the site!

Heya,

 

I've been watching this guide for a long time now, and it's been quite useful to me.
One thing I've been using a lot, was the macro for the bubble and cancelling that. As I've been prot during Throne of Thunder and Siege of Orgrimmar, it's been SO useful countles times. I've stepped away from prot in WoD, so I didn't have any real use for it anymore. Since a few months I've been back to prot and my guild is doing well. But I've started to notice people are "randomly" dying around me whenever I bubbled to clear off whatever caused me to use it. And it seems the macro isn't working anymore.

I've tripple checked how it was written, I've even made a new one, directly copy/pasting it from the guide again, but without success.

The bubble itself is cast, that's not the problem. Cancelling the aura, for whatever reason, isn't cancelling anymore. I have to manually remove the buff in order to get rid of it before it expires and more people die. I'd actually rather not use it anymore as it is now. Is there any reason why it's not working anymore? Anyone have any idea? sad.png

You list only prot warriors as shield competition, but since shields also have intelect on them, Shamen and Holy pallies will also desire them, though not their BiS.

I have a macro in which i cast reckoning and divine shield so that the boss doesn't attack someone else and i can keep him attacking me, hope this helps

      In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their regrettable experiences with the game's infamous Black Market Auction House (BMAH).
      The highest bids often come with stories of disappointment and frustration, as highlighted by these popular comments:
      Reddit user MadsenAn regretted spending a whopping 700,000 gold on a Tabard of Brilliance, only to receive it from a Twitch drop the same day, calling the coincidence "personal."
      Redditor DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET shared a tale of woe about spending 180,000 gold on a BMAH mystery box, which contained a Goblin Weather Machine that they had already received from a Twitch drop just a day earlier.
      Sammywitchdr recounted how they spent over 1 million gold on a Swift Zulian Panther thinking it was the rare ZG Tiger from vanilla WoW, only to realize they already owned the panther from a previous expansion.
      Thoms689 was duped into bidding 1.2 million gold for a Tabard of Frost by a friend who was secretly outbidding him to inflate the price, a betrayal that cost him both gold and a friendship.
      Vitchman shared a frustrating experience with a 600,000 gold bid for what turned out to be an Ordos drop that was unsuitable for his character class, illustrating the risks associated with the mysterious contents of BMAH boxes.
      Caronry discussed a close call with bidding 5 million gold on an Arcanite Ripper, thankful to have been outbid, which potentially saved them from later regret.
      Sigilweavers told a comedic yet painful tale of bidding 900,000 gold for a Firelands mount only to discover they already owned it after winning the auction. This story serves as a cautionary reminder to double-check what you already have before entering a bidding war.
      MattyIce8998 recounted an almost regrettable bid of 800,000 gold on Frostfire shoulders, narrowly avoided by being outbid. They eventually acquired the item when it became craftable, much cheaper.
      These stories encapsulate the high-risk, high-reward nature of the Black Market Auction House, where players' fortunes can swing dramatically with each bid and the lengths to which gamers will go for the rarities WoW has to offer.
      Do you have any interesting BMAH story for us? Don't forget to share it in the comments!

      Find out how to obtain the new Spark of Awakening in Season 4.
      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.
      Pick up the weekly quest from Therazal in central Valdrakken. As you can see, there are now three possible quests for you to receive that will change every week.

      The weekly quest options (and objectives) will always be the following:
      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      After completing the weekly quest you will receive 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms (containing gold or gear).
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
      Awakened Raid Bosses
      Apparently, Splintered Spark of Awakening have a chance to drop from Awakened Raid bosses, as spotted by @azatoth668!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
