Leveling as ProtFollow

I know there are a plethora of "help me level posts"

I just have a question about Prot Rotations ... I just switched from Arms to Prot after having not played War in months.

I want to level Prot, but am not sure the best rotation with all the skills available.

I think, shield block, S.slam, and revenge ... but what about rend and hs and other skills should i be using them or just focusing on those 3?

Help a noob to the class please :)

Rend tends to be very meh for Prot, and Hamstring is only useful against runners.

As you get access to it, you're going to want to fit Devastate in there too, especially once you get the Sword and Board talent. Shockwave and Concussion Blow both do relatively good damage (even on single target with Shockwave) and Thunderclap is useful against multiple mobs. Against casters, Spell Reflect can often be more useful than Shield Bash (interrupt) especially if they're casting a DD spell.

A lot of these though, are talents you get as you level. What level range are you talking about, Foxximo? I can guess you're at least 40 because of Shield Slam, but can you be a little more specific than that?

So. You wont have a lot of options to use at 47. But if you solo grind a lot, you may find it easier to spec a lil into the other two trees first.

3/5/30 Gives you HS reduced cost, HS glyph, revenge glyph. It's specced around using HS as 2nd to shield slam.

But since your build is the way it is, you might also consider just continuing right on down that prot tree and getting devastate and warbringer.

But your glyphs really should probably be of HS and Revenge while leveling prot.

HS is bread and butter, it's good dps, it's good threat.

Since your not arms spec, using rend past a certain level is wasted rage. Use it on HS or cleave instead.
