Protection Paladin Tank Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.2.5)

Lightsmith is recommended for starting your Mythic+ journey as it provides more group utility and is a simplier rotation to execute making learning dungeons easier.

Templar will be your go to build for most weekly keys once you are comfortable with the dungeons. It offers more damage than the Lightsmith build which helps to complete the dungeon faster!

This Lightsmith will be used for higher keys and requires 10800 Mastery Rating (or 9400 if you have a Shaman in the group) to have 100% spell block chance with Faith in the Light and Barricade of Faith active. Simply use Word of Glory and Avenger's Shield before a large magic hit to mitigate it with block.

• Avenger's Shield is one of the strongest abilities in our toolkit for Mythic+. Not only does it interrupt, but it will also silence enemies that can be silenced for 3 seconds. This allows you to almost fully lock down any caster by yourself, especially if they can be stunned by Hammer of Justice as well, and let the rest of the group deal with another caster.
• Rebuke is another interrupt option for enemies in melee range.
• Hammer of Justice is a long single-target stun that can be used often with the Fist of Justice talent. This can be used to make enemies non-threatening for a couple of seconds or prevent them from moving if they may want to.
• Blinding Light can be used to disorient enemies within 10 yards. This can be used as an AoE interrupt for crowd-controllable casting enemies.
• Turn Evil fears an Undead, Aberration, or Demon target within 20 yards for up to 40 sec.

• Intercession allows you to combat res a party member.
• Devotion Aura reduces all damage taken by your group by 3%.
• Cleanse Toxins can remove all Poison and Disease effects from a group member. Cleanse Toxins has value in every dungeon apart from Dawnbreaker and Stonevault. It can also be used to deal with the Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour affix.
• Blessing of Protection/ Blessing of Spellwarding and Blessing of Sacrifice are amazing tools in dungeons to help your group survive both dangerous affixes as well as abilities.
• Blessing of Protection has two additional benefits on top of providing the target immunity to Physical damage. It will remove any Bleed effect on the target, and make them lose threat temporarily on enemies that deal Physical damage. Very helpful for the Fury Warrior who popped all cooldowns before you even put down Consecration!
• Unbound Freedom will help with negating slows/roots on your party, but, more importantly, also apply Blessing of Freedom to yourself when cast on others.
• Word of Glory and Lay on Hands are not only self-heal abilities, but can be used on group members to great effect as well to help the healer.
• Turn Evil allows you to kill undead enemies when they are below 30% Health.
