⚔️ WoW Forever Dailywhat the class Discords worked out yesterday, every morning

Protection

Last updated 2026-09-17. Pre-launch reading of the beta and the BlizzCon demo. Nothing is confirmed.
  • The beta’s Judgement of Fury tooltip reads “taunts the target to attack you for 4 sec”, and the channel now reads it as a true taunt that takes threat, not a fixate. Confirmed
  • Seal of Fury scales at about 10% of spell power per hit and the damage is flat per hit, so a fast one-hander is the Seal of Fury weapon. Confirmed
  • Spell power is the tank stat. Every datamined crafted tank piece is defense, Stamina and spell power, and Strength still gives block value at 20 to 1. Confirmed
  • Seal of Righteousness and Consecration crit in the beta, and seal crits do double damage as melee attacks. Confirmed
  • Tank in Seal of Righteousness and judge it on cooldown; swap to Seal of Fury only to taunt, for mana, or when solo. Consensus
  • Solid Prot at 8/34/9 is still the tank pick. The channel now expects two builds at 60: a damage build with Champion of the LightChampion of the LightRetribution · Max rank 3 · New in ForeverIncreases your spell damage and healing by up to 33% of your Intellect.Requires 25 points in RetributionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text. or Holy ShockHoly ShockHoly · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic160 Mana | Instant | Enemy: 20 yd range | Friendly: 40 yd range | 10 sec cooldownBlasts the target with Holy energy, causing 129 to 139 Holy damage to an enemy, or 110 to 118 healing to an ally.Requires 20 points in HolyAll ranks read from demo footage., and a Holy ShieldHoly ShieldProtection · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic150 Mana | Instant | 10 sec cooldownIncreases chance to block by 20% for 10 sec, and deals 110 Holy damage for each attack blocked while active.

Where Protection stands, in full

Seeded from the first seven days of #forever-prot (about 8,700 messages, September 12 to 18). The beta opened September 17 with a level 20 cap, rising to 30 after about two weeks, so Holy ShieldHoly ShieldProtection · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic150 Mana | Instant | 10 sec cooldownIncreases chance to block by 20% for 10 sec, and deals 110 Holy damage for each attack blocked while active. Damage caused by Holy Shield causes 20% additional threat. Each block expends a charge. 4 charges.Requires 30 points in Protection · Requires 1 point in Templar's Bulwark · Requires ShieldsAll ranks read from demo footage. and the other capstones cannot be tested before launch. No Legacy points are earnable in the level 20 beta; Wowhead’s datamine of Legacy sources suggests an average player has about 5 by level 60.

  • The kit is shield tanking with a new seal. Seal of Fury puts a small absorb on your melee hits, and judging it is your taunt. Holy Strike is a new instant melee button, Consecration is baseline (trained at 20 along with Blessing of Kings), and Holy ShieldHoly ShieldProtection · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic150 Mana | Instant | 10 sec cooldownIncreases chance to block by 20% for 10 sec, and deals 110 Holy damage for each attack blocked while active. Damage caused by Holy Shield causes 20% additional threat. Each block expends a charge. 4 charges.Requires 30 points in Protection · Requires 1 point in Templar's Bulwark · Requires ShieldsAll ranks read from demo footage. is still the 31-point capstone.
  • Beta night, September 17. Testers at level 5 to 10 read the Judgement of Fury tooltip, watched Seal of Righteousness and Consecration crit for double, measured Seal of Fury at about 10% of spell power with Judgement of the Crusader and a pair of spell power boots, and found nothing new on the trainer beyond Hammer of Wrath. The character sheet now tells you the crit cap and lists crushing blows. Spells miss instead of resisting. A swing timer and a damage meter are in the default UI.
  • The Q&A gave tanks nothing. The channel’s summary was “no true questions”: no GDKP, the Reals currency returns, Oceanic servers in Australia, some Season of Discovery class quests return. The paladin questline from Season of Discovery is reportedly in “in some form”.
  • The mood is “functional, better than it was, half-baked”, with less doom than a day ago. “Prot is the most solid of all the specs” (several), “with the current kit we will have the worst threat by far, but a lot of damage reduction” (one), and a running argument about the Judgement taunt that the tooltip did not end. A returning line got wide agreement: everyone was “full on nuclear” over a level 38 tech demo and should play the beta first.
  • A demo tester’s report: the Drowned City dungeon mobs “kinda hit”, the first boss stuns everyone near it while it keeps swinging, and some packs need CC and kicks or you chain pull and wipe. The tester’s read is that Blizzard wants tanks weighing mitigation against threat, TBC-style. A pinned first-look video from the BlizzCon floor adds that Divine Shield does not stop you blocking. Read from demo
  • The tank split most people guess at: warriors best on single targets, druids on 2 to 3, paladins on 4 or more. Several now doubt paladin threat holds up at all; others say consistent 4-target threat still beats a warrior’s. The one worry most share is burst threat on the pull.

Which build should I use?

  • At 60, posted link: Solid Prot, 8/34/9. “Looks like a bis talent” was the reply; the suggested tweaks are below.

How tanking plays

  • Judgement is off the global cooldown, so to taunt you swap to Seal of Fury, judge, and swap back. The beta tooltip says the judge “taunts the target to attack you for 4 sec”. Confirmed
  • Core loop: Holy ShieldHoly ShieldProtection · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic150 Mana | Instant | 10 sec cooldownIncreases chance to block by 20% for 10 sec, and deals 110 Holy damage for each attack blocked while active.

Holy Strike is an instant attack and does not trigger seals. Confirmed
  • Do not hold Judgement at the pull; if you need a taunt with Judgement down, use Swift JudgementSwift JudgementProtection · Max rank 1 · New in ForeverInstant | 1 min cooldownFinishes the remaining cooldown on your Judgement ability and reduces the Mana cost of your next Judgement by 100%.Requires 15 points in Protection · Requires 1 point in Improved Seal of FuryAll ranks read from demo footage.. Taunt diminishing returns are a TBC thing, so the “judging on cooldown makes bosses immune” worry is probably misplaced. Consensus
  • Off-tanks stay in Seal of Righteousness so their judge does not taunt, and swap to a damage spec when they can.
  • Level with a two-hander until about 40, then sword and board. At level 10 in the beta the loop is judge Seal of the Crusader, swap to Seal of Righteousness, Holy Strike. Confirmed
The tanking loop in detail

The current read, from September 14 to 16, supersedes the first-day assumption that the main tank sits in Seal of Fury.

  • Main seal is Seal of Righteousness. Judge it on cooldown for threat. Seal of Righteousness is expected to out-damage Seal of Fury, and Judgement threat is considered essential. Judgement of Fury and Judgement of Righteousness look like similar damage, so a tank could sit in Righteousness and swap to Fury only when tanking or taunting.
  • Swap to Seal of Fury only to taunt, for mana, or when solo. Judgement is off the global cooldown, so you can swap seal and judge in the same global, then swap back. A common macro is Seal of Fury, Swift JudgementSwift JudgementProtection · Max rank 1 · New in ForeverInstant | 1 min cooldownFinishes the remaining cooldown on your Judgement ability and reduces the Mana cost of your next Judgement by 100%.Requires 15 points in Protection · Requires 1 point in Improved Seal of FuryAll ranks read from demo footage., Judgement in one button. The double swap every 8 seconds is disliked as mana-expensive and awkward.

(~10 s), Consecration (~8 to 10 s), Holy Strike (~10 s), Judgement (~8 to 10 s). “Like a worse Wrath rotation” (one), “same as TBC” (several), with auto-attack downtime. One suggestion is holding Holy Strike so its damage reduction lines up with boss swings.

  • Do not hold Judgement.

The earlier worry that spamming Judgement of Fury applies taunt diminishing returns was answered on September 16: taunt diminishing returns were added in TBC, and Classic bosses had none. Beta will tell.
  • The taunt is a taunt. The beta tooltip for Judgement of Fury reads: “Unleashing this Seal’s energy causes 22 to 24 Holy damage to an enemy and taunts the target to attack you for 4 sec. Increases the damage of your Holy Strike ability by 10% and causes it to refresh all Judgement effects on the target.” The channel’s reading is that this is a real taunt that takes the target’s threat, unlike Mocking Blow or Challenging Shout, which are fixates. Whether the “refresh all Judgement effects” line extends the 4-second taunt was asked and rejected by everyone else (“you can’t refresh a judge”). One person hopes Blizzard reverses the order to taunt first, then damage, so one press both matches and overtakes threat. Confirmed
  • Bubble taunt. Divine Shield plus the 4-second taunt keeps a boss on you while you Cleanse your own stacks, so Bloodboil-style fights may not need a tank swap. It also means Templar’s Bulwark and Divine Shield compete for Forbearance more often.
  • Tank swaps: the tank not actively tanking sits in Seal of Righteousness, and the swap is Seal of Fury plus Swift JudgementSwift JudgementProtection · Max rank 1 · New in ForeverInstant | 1 min cooldownFinishes the remaining cooldown on your Judgement ability and reduces the Mana cost of your next Judgement by 100%.Requires 15 points in Protection · Requires 1 point in Improved Seal of FuryAll ranks read from demo footage. plus Judgement in one macro. One worry: taunt-swap bosses mean a lot of time in Righteousness or Command with no Seal of Fury mana.
  • Off-tank: stay in Seal of Righteousness so your judge does not taunt. Mana is the problem: blocks and Seal of Fury absorbs are the mana sources, and an off-tank gets neither.

Several say the kit is main-tank oriented and Blizzard did not design for off-tanking.
  • No ranged pull. Judgement is 10 yards and Exorcism is Undead and Demon only, and a Seal of Fury judge used as a pull puts the taunt on cooldown. The tools people listed on September 17: grenades (some no longer need Engineering), a trinket-swap pull item, the Torch of Holy Flame off-hand from the Morbent Fel quest, body pulls, and “Consecrate, run around a corner”. “These are all non-existent problems” (several) versus “relying on other people pulling is wild” (several).

  • Leveling: two-hander and Ret talents until about 40, then sword and board. Several plan Ret to 60 and Prot only for dungeons. A 40-point 8/23/9 path was posted as the pre-60 target.
  • Demo feel: “you have to respect threat.” Mobs hit hard; the Drowned City crabs “chunk” a tank and some packs need CC and kicks. Streams showed control of about 4 targets and got sketchy past that, for warriors too.
Key talents and how the channel values them
  • Seal of Fury (new): melee hits generate an absorb based on the seal’s holy damage. Read as about 11 damage absorbed at level 38, “peanuts”. Read from demo Procs from auto attacks only, not from the judge. Requires a shield. Can crit. Two testers confirmed on September 17 that the absorb does not stack: landing another hit while the shield is still up replaces it rather than adding to it. Confirmed The seal damage is flat per hit, which means fast weapons do more, and the beta confirmed both: one tester’s combat log showed rank 1 doing 6 base plus 4 from a rank 2 Judgement of the Crusader and 5 spell power boots, which is a 10% spell power coefficient, and another put it at “10%-ish, 6 damage to 8 or 9 from 23 spell power”. If 10% holds across ranks, that is about 10 more absorb per hit for every 100 spell power. The tester’s advice: a fast weapon means more hits and more absorb uptime. Confirmed Should scale with Improved SealsImproved SealsHoly · Max rank 3 · Changed from ClassicIncreases the damage done by your Seals and Judgements by 5%.Requires 5 points in HolyMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text. and, if seals count as weapon damage, One-Handed Weapon SpecializationOne-Handed Weapon SpecializationProtection · Max rank 3 · Changed from ClassicIncreases the damage you deal with one-handed melee weapons by 3%.Requires 15 points in ProtectionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text.. Judgement of Fury is a 4-second taunt at 10 yards (bear and warrior taunts are 5) that deals 22 to 24 holy at the beta rank, buffs Holy Strike by 10% and refreshes your judgements. One proposal: move the absorb to the judge, so it also fixes off-tank mana, and give the taunt its own button.
  • Improved Seal of FuryImproved Seal of FuryProtection · Max rank 1 · New in ForeverWhen Seal of Fury's shield is fully absorbed, restore 38 Mana, increased by 15% per level the attacker is above you, up to 45%.Requires 10 points in ProtectionAll ranks read from demo footage. (3/3): restores mana when the absorb is fully consumed. Any damage that breaks it counts, including DoTs.
  • Holy Strike: an instant attack, learned at level 6, weapon damage plus flat holy, and it does not trigger seals. In the beta rank 1 is 25% weapon damage plus about 13 holy, the top rank at level 10 is 40%, and the spell power coefficient tests near 42.5% (the Ret channel’s Judgement of the Crusader test), which beats the 20% read from Esfand’s stream. Blizzard’s beta notes say its rank-ups “don’t feel great”, read as a buff coming. Confirmed Cooldown 12 seconds base, 9 to 10 talented.

Gearing, stats, races and professions in full
  • Spell power versus Strength. Settled on September 17: “all datamined crafts are defense, Stamina, spell power, no way we are attack power” (several agreed). The datamined blacksmithing plans include an Enriched Thorium helm, breastplate and leggings with Stamina, defense and spell power, and Justicar’s pauldrons, wristguards, waistguard and sabatons with Strength, Stamina and spell power, with the slots split “as if intended for both Ret and Prot”. Against a pure spell power view: Holy Strike is 25 to 40% weapon damage, “most of our damage is autos”, and Strength still gives block value. Working target: spell-power plate, a fast one-hander for Seal of Fury, then block and defense. One person expects gear with both spell power and Strength. Whether tank tier will carry Intellect is doubted, and the Champion of the LightChampion of the LightRetribution · Max rank 3 · New in ForeverIncreases your spell damage and healing by up to 33% of your Intellect.Requires 25 points in RetributionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text. tank builds lost ground for that reason.
  • Weapon speed. Seal of Fury is flat damage per hit, confirmed in a beta combat log, so it wants a fast weapon and a fast weapon also refreshes the absorb more often; ReckoningReckoningProtection · Max rank 5 · Changed from ClassicGives you a 8% chance to gain an extra attack after Blocking a melee attack and a 20% chance to gain an extra attack after being the victim of a non-periodic critical strike.Requires 20 points in ProtectionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text. and Holy Strike want a slow one.

Weapon choice at 60 now hinges on whether a caster main hand beats a physical one, which nobody can answer at level 10.
  • Defense and avoidance: 420 defense is reachable in blues, 440 for crit immunity. The beta’s character sheet tells you the crit cap and lists crushing blows. Several expect threat to stay the focus. Blizzard said on stage they don’t want tanks getting crit. One person’s spreadsheet says the crit cap is reachable with only datamined items. “Watch block rating become the best threat stat if Holy ShieldHoly ShieldProtection · Max rank 1 · Changed from Classic150 Mana | Instant | 10 sec cooldownIncreases chance to block by 20% for 10 sec, and deals 110 Holy damage for each attack blocked while active.

Shields are expected to carry on-hit and on-block effects; the demo had one with lifesteal. Skullflame Shield: sell it early, equip it later for farming (several).
  • Weapon skill stays but with less per item. Fractional stats exist. One person says weapon-skill racials are gone and the human sword racial now reads as 2% crit; neither is confirmed.
  • Thorns gear plus Eye for an EyeEye for an EyeRetribution · Max rank 2 · Changed from ClassicAll critical strikes against you cause 5% of the damage taken to the attacker as well. The damage caused by Eye for an Eye will not exceed 50% of the Paladin's total health.Requires 15 points in RetributionMax rank not read from footage; showing rank 1 text. is still a floated large-pack angle; one person is against every thorns effect because it hurts off-tanking.
  • Races: Undead favored for Prot (Touch of the Grave), though in the beta it procs off every attack and spell including crowd control, which everyone calls a bug, and it double-procs on consecutive swings. Dwarf for Stoneform (bleed and poison removal plus 10% physical reduction, “massive during a boss’s last 5% enrage”) and 5% against beasts; human for sword crit and the stun break, “better DPS is better threat”. Several pick human only because they dislike the dwarf melee animation. Undead is the only Horde paladin.
  • Professions: Engineering for pulls and AoE, and its datamined “tinkerbox” adds Nitro Boosts and a teleport; the Ultrasafe Rechargeable Battery recharges the safe gadgets but not explosives. Blacksmithing for the spell-power plate. Alchemy got a look after datamined damage potions (Caustic Smog, Dragonfire, Venomous Blood, Disorienting Smog) that one person says out-damage Classic grenades, with the worry that they share the potion cooldown. The Azeroth Commerce Authority faction is in, with its own recipes, so early gold goes to its materials. Reddit’s list of profession camping features says mining and blacksmithing give an attack power or Strength buff. A crafted epic Steadfast Libram needs 310 Enchanting and a raid-only disenchant material. Links are in Sources.
  • Sets: tier gear is reportedly split across the three launch raids. The datamined Tier 1 Protection set, Justice Battleplate, reads +7 defense, Turn Undead 1.5 seconds faster, 1.2% less chance to be dodged or parried, and Forbearance 10 seconds shorter. “Those better be a joke”; the warrior equivalent is 30 seconds off Shield Wall. Most treat every set bonus as a placeholder; a minority says a chill first tier is healthy for a game meant to last. A Scarlet mail set with a 480 absorb at low health and a Deathbone set with a spell damage proc were also datamined. PvP has no tank set.
  • Addons will be restricted like retail. Confirmed by several as “they said so”, still without specifics. The base UI now has a damage meter, a swing timer, a quest tracker and a cooldown manager. WeakAuras is expected to die. The pinned beta test plan depends on a threat addon.

What Blizzard has said

Direct sources are in Sources. Items marked “relayed” were repeated in the channel without a link or timestamp.

  • From the September 17 Q&A, relayed: a swing timer is coming to the base UI (it was in the beta client that evening), GDKP raids are not allowed, the Reals currency from Season of Discovery returns, Oceanic servers will be in Australia, real-money trading is a permanent ban, and some Season of Discovery class quests return, some expanded. The channel’s verdict: “we got no true questions.” No VOD link was posted. Blizzard said

(Screenshot of the post, no link.) Blizzard said
  • Hammer of the Righteous is not in the game. Its tooltip sits in the client files and on datamine sites with Season of Discovery wording that references a Crusader Strike that does not exist; the beta trainer has nothing new beyond Hammer of Wrath. A late claim that it was “confirmed in game” was shot down as unconfirmed nonsense. Confirmed
  • No Shaman or Warlock tank at launch. Aggrend in a GameSpot interview, relayed through Reddit (link in Sources). Blizzard said
  • No test realm for raids, and item stats are not known until the item drops. An MMORPG.com article, relayed. Blizzard said
  • Launch raids: a 10-man with 8 bosses, a 20-man with 13 bosses, and Onyxia as the only 40-man. Tier gear is split across the three. The first raid revamp is next summer, raid unspecified; Molten Core “will come back”; a legendary questline is on the spring roadmap. (Roadmap screenshot and relays.)
  • Dungeons are meant to be tactical. “CC and threat matter.” The Drowned City demo tester’s report matches this. (Deep dive, relayed; demo, firsthand.)
  • Seal of Fury and weapon speed: “it doesn’t matter how fast your weapon is, so the faster the weapon you use the more damage it will do.” (Deep dive, quoted by someone who rewatched it.)
  • A paladin blocks a spell with its shield in the gameplay trailer at 1:34 to 1:38. Whether that is a mechanic or animation is unknown. (Trailer, link in Sources.)
  • “Seal busywork is bad.” Judgement no longer consumes seals. (Deep dive, relayed.)
  • Tanks should not get crit. Every piece of gear is being redone. (Stage, relayed.)
  • Judgement of Fury’s 10-yard taunt was framed as an advantage over 5-yard taunts. (Relayed.)
  • Spell power appears on items from level 10, on crafted plate with Strength. (Deep dive gear segment; crafted-plate screenshots.)
  • Dungeon quest XP gets a big buff. (Relayed.)
  • A shaman rework is expected Thursday with the beta. (Relayed, unsourced.)
  • Legacy points start at level 5. Dual spec is in. No Legacy points are earnable in the level 20 beta.
  • Casters’ base spell damage was cut so that the spell power on gear makes a new caster weapon as big an upgrade as a new melee weapon. (One person’s relay, no link.)
  • Beta: level 20 cap at the start, 30 after about two weeks, opened September 17 with 10,000-deep queues, throttled character creation and a faction-locked PvP realm. Blizzard reportedly said it wanted to avoid a beta but needs class feedback; feedback goes through the in-game report keybind. (Relayed.)
Consensus versus disputed

Consensus

  • Seal of Righteousness is the main tanking seal; Seal of Fury is for taunts, mana and solo. Off-tanks stay in Righteousness.
  • Off-tank mana is a real gap. The practical answer is dual spec and a damage set, not a tank build that fixes it.

  • Consecration’s 4-target cap is deliberate and will not get a retail-style threat multiplier.
  • Seal of Fury is flat damage at about 10% of spell power, so it favors fast weapons. Confirmed in the beta.
  • Spell power is the tank stat. The crafted tank sets settled it.
  • Judgement of Fury is a real taunt, and taunt diminishing returns are a TBC mechanic that Classic never had.

Disputed or one person’s theory

  • The Judgement taunt. “People need to understand that judge taunt is bad” (several, including one who posted a fix on the forums) versus “I love not being Warrior 2”, “none issue, paladin is the only class who can make two taunts back to back” and “taunt on judge just means I’m never not the main tank” (several). The beta tooltip changed nothing about the argument; the remaining objection is that the 10-yard judge is also the only pull tool and puts the taunt on cooldown.

More arguments and the pinned beta test plan
  • Whether paladin threat is the worst of the tanks or fine, and whether “viable” means anything when every spec can clear vanilla-difficulty content.
  • Whether spell power or Strength is the tank stat, and whether the Seal of Fury absorb ever matters.
  • Whether speculating before beta is worthwhile at all; one returning member called the talent calculators “pictures from a demo”, most kept posting builds.
  • Whether the first months of live will be an extended beta for level 31 to 60 specs, since the beta caps at 30 and there is no raid test realm.
  • One person is working on “a new AoE threat method” that depends on damage types they cannot test yet.
  • A pinned beta test plan (September 13) covers threat per ability versus training level, Righteous Fury versus Salvation, the resistance model, the Holy Strike attack table, spell versus melee hit, absorb versus full block, and coefficients, using a threat addon with isolated casts and advanced combat logs uploaded to warcraftlogs.com. One member says a raiding guild is already building a sim.
