In the latest PTR build for 9.1, new Paladin legendaries have appeared in data, so I'm here to provide some insights on how they might work for Protection. Protection Paladin Writer Opinion & Feedback I would expect the theme of the legendary to stick around however (small Divine Tolls triggering on a timer) which could be a cool mechanic to play around. There's a lot they can (and likely will) do to nerf it. You can reduce the effectiveness of each Divine Toll further, you can have less triggers in the 30 second window. Fortunately (Unfortunately?) this legendary has lots of tuning nobs here. It almost triples the value of Divine Toll giving you an extra 9 Holy Shocks, and 9 holy power per minute which is massive. This legendary, if it works as the tooltip suggest,s would make Kyrian the go to choice in all scenarios, due to just how insane of a throughput gain it is. Paladins already have an insanely powerful legendary in Shock Barrier and this completely eclipses it. I find it hard to believe that this legendary in its current state will make it live. Divine Resonance simply put is insanely broken. But Venthyr and Kyrian are already dominant choices for paladin. If we were using second legendaries, this would be more useful if you were already Necrolord. The problem here is that Necrolord is already coming from behind in terms of throughput and Paladins already have strong legendary choices, so it has a lot of ground to cover. It simply makes the signature ability Vanquisher's Hammer more strategic, and powerful. The Necrolord's Duty-Bound Gavel is a nice legendary. But it is just as likely this opens up no new strategies and is not worth using still. It is possible this will be more useful in a dungeon, as dungeons tend to be longer, so the extra cooldown reduction will provide potentially several more uses of powerful cooldowns, or open up new pulls.

You need a particularly good use case where the cooldown reduction provided gives you access to something special when you need it.


This could be very valuable in some raid encounters but similar to the design of the spell itself is somewhat niche. The Night-Fae legendary Seasons of Plenty doubles down on the “buffing your allies” area of the spell. The Venthyr one is unknown, and Venthyr is currently a popular choice in covenant, so there is no reason to speculate on any change in covenant choice based on that alone. Its too early to tell much about the new Covenant specific Holy Paladin Legendaries.
