Protection · point 26 of 51 · split now 0 / 26 / 0 (Holy / Protection / Retribution)
A 40% chance after a block (at most once every 1.5 sec) and 100% after a non-periodic critical hit taken to gain an extra attack, storing up to 4. It now uses every stored attack and no longer builds while sitting.
Next at 36: Iron Creed 1/3.
Dungeon nearby Optional

Coming up at 36: Iron Creed (talent).
Plan for 30-35
- Holy Shield at 30: pre-cast it as you run in. More blocks means more mana, more Holy damage and, from 31, more Reckoning attacks.
- Reckoning takes your points at 31-35. Divine Intervention and Seal of Light at 30, Divine Shield at 34.
- Prot is a complete tank from here: say yes to dungeon groups that match your quests.
