Primary Role

The protection tree is the paladin's tanking tree, specializing in reducing incoming damage and generating threat. There are many early talents in the tree that can be useful for Holy or Retribution paladins to round out their build and add some survivability. Deeper in the tree, however, the focus is entirely on tanking.
