Hello. I’m a little new to prot Paladins. My question was why do we go for the AM spec instead to going for the ret talents for more threat? And is the 4 set bonus really worth it? 12% dodge doesn’t seem much.
Thank you

Play what you want to play. These cookie cutter specs are for min/maxing. Personally I run seal of command and pursuit of justice for trash and 5 mans. I play to have fun not impress/carry some person on the internet.
AM spec was invented to deal with LoD at low % ICC buff. Unless you go for no buff ICC you don't need it - it helps your raid still though.Quote:

Again on 30% ICC buff it doesn't matter much what you pick.
Wow. Thank you so much for the quick replies. Guess I’ll stick to 2 set bonus and the ret talents.
One last question... is seal of command worth it? Does it play a major in aoe tanking? Would u recommend a geared or bis prot pala spend a point on it?
Thank you.
It makes aoe tanking quite a bit more comfortable. But threat 9n big pulls can be solved by MD.
Is it worth loosing a bit of survivabiliy for? Up to you to decide.. for me it was, because I pugged a lot and many ppl forgot they can MD.
Command is worth it. With and especially without MD. In the end, it's a QoL talent and very much worth it.
I've never ran into situation where AM from a prot would be called for.
Aura mastery will never EVER be as valuable as 2/2 vindication, one of the most crucial talents for protection Paladin.Quote:
