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Please update the guide, some things are out of date and need to be checked, such as Seraphim does not increase stats by 1000 anymore but rather 750, the guide overall is excellent.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

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      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 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      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.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
