I have no idea how these videos don't have more views. You're the reason I'm tanking mythic in the first place, and now I'm going to try on my pally as well, so thank you!

It is astounding how many videos I had to go through to find a good explanation on how to pull. As a new tank, you have my gratitude and subscription!

Awesome guide! Thank you! I’ve PvP’d on Holy Paladin for the last 2 or 3 expansions, and thanks to this video, I’m giving M+ a whirl as protection paladin! Much appreciated!

This is probably the most entertaining spec guide video I've watched since Ive started playing WoW in late TBC.. good stuff

Thanks to this video I'm gonna gear up my prot pala tonight when I get home from work!

Video has great quality, keep it up

The only thing I could think to add is: Divine Toll in a group pack or if shit hits the fan is a GIANT absorb shield. Each Avenger's Shield it throws gives you an absorb equal to 60% of it's damage up to a cap of 30% of your max hp. There have been PLENTY of times where something went sideways and I had to drop my SotR buff for a split second to keep someone alive when a key is cutting it really close. Divine Toll is an Offensive AOE burst CD, a Snap Threat CD, a Mass Interrupt, AND can be used defensively to give yourself a big absorb to let everyone level out. People tend to forget that it CAN be used defensively, even though every Prot Paladin player pretty much knows it. We just never really think about it. Really great vid, perfect refresher for returning for S4. Subscribed

thank you very much the guide is very helpful for me

Thank you for this video! I've been looking to change off the Bear druid as I just want something a bit different. The struggle that I've been having is that it seems that my Pally isn't as tanky as Guard, but im glad you are able to dispell the myth. I started gearing my Bear in +20 keys at 465, and my 453 pally was procing cheats in a 18 ToTT this week, but its unfair to the paladin as ilvl definitely makes a big difference. I am excited to get it some gear so I can get back in the 20s!

Historically speaking paladin outside of like vanilla and one patch in BFA was definitely a contender for best tank, wish my war brought more to group content.

Excellent video mate! I'm a ret player but am looking at getting into tanking and your video is very informative. I noticed you've got macros there. Have you macrod shield of righteous into blessed hammer and judgement?

Hey man, I love your videos. Quick question, how do I get my health bars to look like yours and appear right above my action bars? Thank you

Paladin is in a crazy strong state atm, but people don't "notice or care" because VDH is still that much stronger than Paladin. I love my Paladin and recognize they are strong as hell, but VDH's toolkit and control are just on another level. A good VDH can basically solo a dungeon while self healing, pumping out insane aoe damage, and make sure that dangerous packs don't do anything for 10+ seconds.

I love that UI set up. Could you share your profile along with what Adonis you use for it?

What unit frames are you using?

As someone who has gotten title several times, I'm a protection paladin main, so I thought I'd be pushing prot paladin this season, I was a bit late to the party and only started pushing keys 3 weeks ago, stuck at about 3600 RIO right now which is below the title cutoff... The queue has been... demoralizing. No invites, absolutely zero. VDH absolutely destroys Prot paladin in high keys and its not even close. 5% Magic dmg, Unlimited aoe stops and simply tankier on top of it. If you're doing +20s I would actually agree prot paladin in that environment is still the more pug friendly tank, you can snipe kicks you can off heal you can sac people, but what you can't do as prot paladin is set up some absolutely broken insane pulls and lock them down by yourself for 30 seconds. Protection paladin can do very high keys, but you're playing at a disadvantage, the disadvantage is bigger or smaller depending on the dungeons you're doing. There are some pulls that are straight up IMPOSSIBLE without a VDH tank, pulling 11 casters before the first boss in Everbloom, is literally impossible as protection paladin, there is no way to pull it off, so if you're playing competitively, there are some dungeons where you're basically playing at a 1-2 minute disadvantage on the timer, just because there's a few pulls you might not be able to pull off. Furthermore Protection paladin is way more comp restricted as to what classes you can play with. You're often forced to play with Havoc, which has its own weaknesses and you need a comp with a lot of aoe stops to compensate for the lack of yours. Blizzard opened the pandora's box with VDH this season, never in the games' history has a tank ever had this many stops, and been able to singlehandedly lock down a pack for 30 seconds. Sigil of silence -> Sigil of Chains -> Chaos Nova -> Evoker breath into 10 second Sigil of Silence -> Sigil of misery -> Sigil of Chains -> Sigil of misery -> Sigil of Silence (it's back by this point) Is just an insane sequence of aoe stops.

Season 4 guide tier set and bis gear?

There is still over 50 bugs from dragonflight alpha that is still not fixed.

One comment is like to make is prot paladin single target DPS in most raid scenarios isn't bad, middle of the pact probably.

Dude... Consecration is badass. Are people complaining? Why would you be bothered having to use spells. It's not all mindless rotations. Rotation slaving is for DPS. As tank you use what's needed. Same as healer but more proactive. Consecration is a perfect example of what tanking is. Honestly using it every time you move is great

"First 100 pulls or so" - mythic raid life i guess lol

a true prot pally has 1 defensive spell..... and no one wants to see the tank in a bubble.....
