The Build

Escudo de vengadorGran cruzado(Passive)Vanguardia inspiradora(Azerite Trait)Primer vengador(Talent)

The first part of Gran cruzado states that when you avoid an attack you have a 30% chance *After modifications* to reset the cool-down (CD) on Escudo de vengador. For melee classes; dodge, parry, and miss are all different ways you can avoid an attack. With a higher cumulative total percentage of those stats, you therefore have a higher percentage chance to avoid an attack entirely.

The second part of Gran cruzado states that Martillo del honrado has a chance to reset Escudo de vengador upon activation. Through testing however, Martillo bendito, which replaces Martillo del honrado, has proven to be a more reliable talent option for DPS generation, resets, and overall mitigation than the other choices on that row (See talent section for exceptions). The reason for this is that Martillo del honrado requires you to be within melee range of your target and has only (2) charges. Martillo bendito has (3) charges and can be cast without requiring an enemy to be near you and out of combat.

Escudo de vengadorHow does this affect our mitigation?(HPS)Baluarte de la LuzEscudo del honradoBaluarte de la Luz

Valor de vengador (This is the 20% buff that comes from using Escudo de vengador) must be applied as often as possible before activating Escudo del honrado to ensure you are getting the most amount of physical damage mitigation. Without the 20% increased effectiveness on the armor provided by Valor de vengador you will not approach the cap for physical damage reduction, which is 85%. Since the primary type of damage you will take in a Mythic Dungeon is physical, we recommend you seek out the most amount of armor possible for the best results.

This build focuses on producing enough resets on your Escudo de vengador to always provide the 20% increased effectiveness on Escudo del honrado in order to always make reaching the armor cap possible in-combat.

Recent testing has shown that Escudo del honrado can now stack in duration. So, it is possible to have (20) seconds on up-time on the armor buff or more. Each time you cast the spell you add 4.5 seconds to the total duration. We recommend using a Weak Aura to show you how long you have on your buff to maximize your mitigation.

Baluarte de la Luz*A more detailed explanation will be given about certain talents and stats in their designated sections of the guide*What to look for when you tank

Are you having aggro issues?
Holy damage generates the most aggro for a Protection Paladin, so maintaining up-time on holy damage spells like Consagración and Martillo bendito will help ensure you take more than 90% of all physical damage in the dungeon. Mano de juicio has an 8 sec CD, but a few crits with some holy damage spells can be just as effective.

Are there any spell casters not on your Consagración?
Protection Paladin can handle situations like this with ease thanks to the silence provided by Escudo de vengador. Silenced spell casters will usually run to whomever they have aggro on, which should be the tank. In the event that the spell caster remains stationary, you can try breaking the line-of-sight (LoS) of the target and they will surely follow.

When should you use ?
This spell heals for the most based on the targets missing health. When paired with the guaranteed critical hit from activating Cólera vengativa, it has the potential to heal a target back to 100%. You can use this spell on yourself or an ally, but try to save it for when the target is lower on health for the most value.

Martillo bendito – Currently this serves as the best talent on the row for physical damage mitigation and DPS generation. Each time an enemy gets struck by the hammer their next auto-attack done to you is cut by 12%. We get (3) charges of this spell and with enough haste you can get the recharge time under (4) seconds. This means you should be using this spell as often as possible for shield resets, damage, and mitigation. Do not waste a global.

(30)

Primer vengador – Escudo de vengador now deals 50% more damage to the first target, which will help our single-target DPS. This talent also gives us another 10% passive chance to reset the CD on Escudo de vengador, which is essential for this build.

Sentencia del cruzadoSentenciaJusticia indómita(Azerite Trait)Escudo del honradoPrimer vengadorEscudo del honradoEscudo de vengador(45)

– This is our only form of stock crowd-control (CC) on the class. Having the reduced CD on it is very beneficial. This talent works well in conjunction with Sentencia del cruzado, if you desire to take that over the recommended option.

ArrepentimientoBilis podridaCresa fétidaCatacumbas PutrefactasLuz cegadora(65)Inquieta

Hidalgo – This is our recommended choice considering Protection Paladin mobility is very limited.

Bendición de resguardo contra hechizosBendición de protecciónBendición de protección*This includes most lethal boss de-buffs*(75)Espíritu inquebrantableBatalla finalNecrótica

– We recommend taking this talent for its utility among the team and for its reduced CD. This is currently the only instant-cast active heal that a Protection Paladin has and being able to use it more frequently in conjunction with its passive effect makes this talent the most favorable.

(90)

Sentencia de Luz – This talent provides a consistent heal that comes from casting Sentencia and we recommend you take this talent over the other two options.

Suelo consagradoNecróticaÉgida de Luz(100)

Último defensor – We recommend you take this talent for the most mitigation and DPS generation available out of the three options in this row. As you pull bigger, you take less damage and do more damage.

Azerite Traits

Baluarte de la Luz x (3) *Required

Vanguardia inspiradora x (1) *Required

Escudo de vengadorVanguardia inspiradora

Escudo a propulsión x (1) or (2): Extra damage on Escudo de vengador because of the target cap and stacking mastery for more mitigation and attack power. We recommend this option as worth double stacking because of its benefit for tanking purposes. We also strongly encourage you to wear at least (1) at all times because of its up-time in combat. It is important to note that you can still reach the maximum amount of stacks with this trait on (1) target. If you can get a shield reset before (8) seconds, you'll continue to stack this trait until capped.

Justicia indómita x (1) or (2): This trait does reduced damage because you are in a tank spec, but it is still worth having because the CD of Sentencia is much lower as a tank than the other specs. This will buff up your single target damage if you feel like you have sufficient mitigation and are interested in pumping up your DPS.

Poderío del vengador x (1): This talent can boost both your DPS and mitigation while Cólera vengativa is active but trying to get a piece of gear with this trait and Baluarte de la Luz will have to come from the raid, or PvP. This combination does not currently drop from Mythic+ Dungeon azerite gear.

Essences

Major:

Visión de perfección – Having the highest amount of up-time possible on Cólera vengativa is critical for maintaining the highest level of mitigation, DPS, and presence possible in your Mythic+ Dungeon. Each time this essence activates you get the guaranteed critical on your next and you heal for 5% of your maximum life.

Minor(s):

Fuerza del celador – This build prioritizes avoiding attacks so this essence will be a reliable passive heal that procs often.

Recuerdo de sueños lúcidos – Getting a partial refund on your Escudo del honrado + Versatility for 8 seconds does well to help maintain 60% up-time on the armor buff.

Esfera de supresión – This provides a consistent 5% haste buff that is active if you are taking melee damage. You can expect to see upwards of 70% up-time on the haste and 30-40% on the slow. This talent can also help you control melee targets because of the slow applied from hitting you.

Alternatives:

Conflicto y discordia – This buff is worth about 6% versatility and will increase the amount absorbed by your bulwark of light by roughly 2k. If you really need that extra healing or feel like versatility is the way to go, then wear your preference.

Égida de las profundidades – This is another good selection if you like to pull big. Having the increased damage reduction and healing from the versatility is a nice compliment to your already thriving mitigation.

Resonancia del Vetamundo – Primary stat drives the base armor value from Escudo del honrado and the base damage + healing of most of our abilities. Taking this as a minor is a strong alternative.

Putting it all together

Escudo de vengador

When you use Escudo de vengador:

Hits up to (4) targets for holy damage

Gain a shield for 60k+ (Prevents all damage types)

Gain a primary stat buff (On Grand Crusader proc)

Gain a stacking mastery buff per target (If you are taking Escudo a propulsión)

Silence/Interrupt the primary target and spell-lock them for (3) seconds

Escudo de vengadorEscudo de vengadorEscudo de vengadorWhat happens when you're in combat?

1 – Escudo de vengador: To pull initial aggro from up to (30) yards away, hits (4) targets.

2 – Consagración: Once you’re on top of the mob you must drop this spell and maintain it 100% of the time. This spell’s CD is less than the duration of its up time. This is intentional so that if you move you can drop your Consecration again under the enemies without it ever running out. Standing in this spell is vital to you taking severely reduced damage.

3 – Escudo del honrado: As explained earlier, make sure to fully utilize the 20% armor buff to this spell after you use Escudo de vengador. Try your best to time your usage of this ability with attacks you know will do substantial physical damage to the tank, like Machacar from the Goliat de almas in Mansión Crestavía.

4 – Sentencia: This spell only has a (4) second CD so abuse it. This spell is less important to the rotation the bigger you pull because the (2)-(4) CD refund on Escudo del honrado is not in high demand. With enough enemies, your Último defensor and Baluarte de la Luz will take care of most of your mitigation needs.

5 – Martillo bendito: This is your filler spell. You should be casting this spell when Escudo de vengador and Sentencia are on CD. Along with this spell providing mitigation, this spell is also going to generate many of your shield resets. It is important to note that on large mob pulls, you should prioritize this spell over Sentencia because Escudo de vengador WILL be resetting nearly every global.
