I'm hating Prot so far. Sure I have more HP and stuff, but it doesn't matter when it takes you 2 minutes to kill something. It has to be me doing something wrong, because otherwise Prot just plain sucks. What could I be doing wrong? Attack order? Skills on my action bar?
Yes It could suck if :
a.Gears sucks (get descent gear,have updated gear while leveling ( blue if possible),focus on plate Gear,Strength,Stamina,Armor,Defence,Shield Block value-dodge-hit-expertise if possible)
b.Poor choise of talents(Armed to the teeth -cruelty helps,Bottom 6 talents should be aquired in prot tree and improved def stance talent)
c.No help form guid.(ask guilies to help you do quests that gives good gear)
You are descent geared if you can kill a mob (of same lvl)in 13-17 seconds with a shield in def stance-prot gear and health loss varying from 0 to 1/10 of total hp. (1/10 if you sleep or be unlucky while interupting a spell)
Attack order: there are simply few things you can do in prot (def stance) like(only as an example-not a rule):
a-Booming voice,( you could boost Booming Voice to 5 min in case it bores you)
b- Auto attack-charge,
c-Devastate all the time,
d-when available shield Block (every 1 min) -(You could create a a macro binding Devastate with Shield Block in case SB bores y)
e-when available Shield slam or Revenge( Be carefull with the use of Revenge in case it stuns...)
pop somewhere a Thunder clap and a demo shout.
Do a HS-Shokwave-Disarm-rend somewhere if you like.Chamge stance if you fancy going Berzek..
Skills on Action bar:If you use a,b,c,d,e have those buttons close to you...
Enjoy
