Is there an ez mode Prot Paladin spec that uses a lot of the passive talents instead of active talents, but that also doesn’t sacrifice too much player power?
Specifically looking for something for low keys and possibly LFR and Normal raiding.
I imported a Wowhead build but it was just overwhelming after never playing Prot before.
No, our entire play style is centered around managing 8 defensive CDs and active mitigation.
If your goal is to do LFR then you could probably not even need defensives cause it’s LFR. Low keys though is still going to smush you if you don’t use your buttons.
As a complete noob to prot , i know it may be overwhelming knowing you have so many defensives available but you will get used to it.
The most conservative prot build can skip damage increase talents for just defensive power. Ie. Taking improved ardent defender over spellwarding, sentinel over avenging wrath might and skipping bulwark of righteous fury and taking inmost light (as templar).
Prot is fun and doesnt seem too punishing for new players thanks to gift of the golden valkyr serving as a failsafe. I usually felt more confident going into pulls with that off the cd. Most of my cloae calls or “fails” in m+ were due to knowledge checks… not knowing that is dangerous vs what isnt.
Good luck with it
You may be better served on prot warrior.
Prot paladin without utilizing it’s large bag of defensives is just a worse prot warrior in most situations.
Icy Veins has an “easy mode” version of every spec in the game. Cannot comment on the Prot one specifically as I’ve only played Holy this expansion. You can google Icy Veins Protection Paladin Easy Mode since I can’t post links.
The spec is ez depending on the content you are pushing it isn’t easy.
You have to know what each ability does in boosting your mitigation and in higher keys if you don’t do this pre pull you will die rather quick.
Prot warrior is arguably the ez mode tank now. But even with them you have to manage some buffs but it’s really like 5. Shield block, ignore pain, shield wall. On a prot pally you have like 15 buffs you need up and running before you even pull.
