Introduction
If you are new to Protection, this is a great place to start to get an understanding of how the spec works. On this page we will discuss what abilities you have, what they are used for within the specialization, how they interact with each other and also with important cooldowns. If you already have experience with Protection and are comfortable with it in the current expansion, it is recommended you skip this section and move on to the rest of the guide.
Main Resource of Protection Paladins
Protection Paladins have two resources to manage: Mana and Holy Power. That said, you do not have to manage Mana in any way. You will spend most of your time dealing damage and using active mitigation abilities to help your healers keep you alive.
