Mano del protector is way more accessible in this tree than it was before. Before it was locked behind Luz de los Titanes but now you can pick up Fe en la Luz instead. Fe en la Luz makes spending that GCD on Palabra de gloria just a bit safer especially if you use Holy Power for it.

Speaking of Fe en la Luz, it's actually a viable choice to pick now for some passive damage reduction. It's 15/30% block for 5s after you press Palabra de gloria and in normal play, you'll have ~25% uptime on it or ~7.5% more Block chance.

It's now easier to pick up Santuario for some passive damage reduction while in Consagración.

Sentencia del cruzado is now less costly as it's not gated behind a low power 2-point node.

Enemistad enfocada has been redesigned so it's not as punishing on raid fights with split Single Target and AoE phases. The old version was not playable at all on some bosses this raid tier and the only choice was to take Escudo a propulsión or to unspec the node. Now, you can pick up Enemistad enfocada for some extra single target damage while still maintaining the ability to hold AoE threat.

Luz del interior profundo is back! The beloved Legion Legendary is now back as a talent option to modify Ojo de Tyr and make it the heavy hitter that people remember.

Cooldown reduction galore: You can get sub two-minute cooldown on Bendición de resguardo contra hechizos and Escudo divino, sub one minute cooldown Ojo de Tyr and Defensor candente, and even sub three-minute cooldown on Imposición de manos! This is on top of retaining access to sub two-minute Guardián de los antiguos reyes and one minute Centinela/Cólera vengativa.

Separate Resonancia divina and Invocación acelerada into two separate nodes that can be taken together. With the removal of , Invocación acelerada might not be powerful enough to take on its own so being able to combo it with Resonancia divina for stronger Estrago divino could make it more appealing for some situations

Give value to Protection for Bendición forjada por la Luz and Indulto de cruzado. Neither work with anything in the Protection kit so we're just not going to take them if things don't change.

Luz mortecina will likely need a buff for Protection as the shield will never outvalue spending that point on Sello de orden or even on another talent node all together.

Redesign Castigo so it's not such a blatant DPS increase. Encouraging kicks and interrupting is good for dungeon gameplay but make it more nebulous like movement speed or even cooldown reduction on Reprimenda itself.

Armadura de fe should be switched to trigger on Palabra de gloria for Protection. This would help align it with the newly buffed Fe en la Luz talent. Getting armor when your primary Holy Power spender gives armor is ... weird. I would also consider moving it up a row. It's currently exceedingly difficult to select as a talent below the 20-point gate.

Sello de prontitud has two issues. First, it's increasing the cooldown on Sentencia - not reducing it. The second is that the tooltip is deceptive for Protection. Protection has a 50% reduction to the cooldown of Sentencia on the spec aura, which is modifying the value of cooldown reduction provided by Sello de prontitud. It's really giving .25s/.5s reduction for Protection. The tooltip should be fixed to reflect this.

Buff the healing options on the left side of the tree -- Camino dorado is very weak, and Imagen persistente has some weird behavior with free procs like Propósito divino. Paladins should have more viable off-healing options in their class tree like Druid's Vigilia de la Naturaleza or Shaman's Guía ancestral and none of the current options hit that mark.

Protection Spec Tree Suggestions

Make Consejo de Uther playable. This is the hardest talent to include in any build right now for Protection and that's because the tree structure has six required talents after the 20-point gate for difficult content: 1 in Cólera santificada, 2 in Defensor resuelto, 1 in Protector justo, 1 in Ofrenda de la Val'kyr dorada, and 1 in the Enemistad enfocada/Escudo a propulsión choice node. That leaves 4 points to pick between Ojo de Tyr/Luz del interior profundo, Momento de gloria, Baluarte de furia recta, Batalla final, and Consejo de Uther. Out of these options, Consejo de Uther is strictly utility and is a lower priority pick. One solution could be to swap it with Sello de represalia so all the choices below the 20-point gate are pure damage and power increases, while the middle section has some flexibility to opt into utility with some flex points. That said, I could see this being tabled till a future patch as it could require more structural changes to the tree that aren't on the table right now.

Luz de los Titanes needs some love. In a lot of cases, it's just overheal and ineffective healing. This is disappointing as it blocks access to Sello de caridad, which could be very nice to use.

Reconsider Devoción de Tirion and move it to the class tree. This could be a useful talent for all Paladins, especially if it were in the healing section of the class tree. It could be extremely hard to spend a Protection spec tree point on this talent.

Change Momento de gloria to 80% cooldown reduction on Avenger's Shield. This is mostly quality of life. All of Protection's abilities have a cooldown that are a multiple of 1.5 and Momento de gloria messes with that. It creates these micro-gaps in the rotation that are less than a GCD and are very awkward.
