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Please update the guide, some things are out of date and need to be checked, such as Seraphim does not increase stats by 1000 anymore but rather 750, the guide overall is excellent.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

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
