Prot Dying too fast

[Abombdachamp-darkspear]

I would like to add there is a long standing Prot PvP guide that was made last season that has a ton of great info in it. Most of the top rated Prots have contributed some info in there. Here is just a quick snippet about Mastery in there.

Masterful: Simply stacking mastery is what makes us so very tanky in PvP. We take a bonus 40% damage by default for being a tank in PvP, so we need a hefty amount of mastery to overcome this. Thankfully, due to corruption, we can reach silly amounts of passive block, upwards of 75%! Being able to block 75% of incoming spells for ~60% of the damage ends up being insanely potent at keeping you alive. This isn’t all mastery does, while in Consecration, you will benefit VERY heavily from the damage reduction component which can reach up to 50% reduction during CDs. And we’re still not done, mastery also increases attack power by a metric ton, allowing our spec to scale incredibly hard with gear or strength procs (Cloak and trinkets).

I recommend checking it out for ideas and feedback to improve. As the season goes on sure more people will comment about new builds, Leggos and what they are having success with in PvP/RBGs. Good luck and have fun

The 40% was changed to 50% increased dmg for Tanks in a hotfix which is why he said 40%. Hope this gets revisited and taken back down some.
