Warcraft Paladin 969 Tanking Rotation

Basic spell rotation for a World of Warcraft paladin tank in Wrath of the Lich King

The 5 spells in the centre of the screen were created by a video editing trick. Not an addon. If you would like an addon to do something similar, look for Bartender or MoveAnything.

Music is Elimination Game by X-Ray Dog.

To be honest, this was another test to see if I could upload a widescreen HD video without it turning to mush somewhere along the line. The video is made as a tribute to the excellent Protection Paladin TPS/DPS video

Theory:-
Hammer of Righteous has a 6 second cool down.
Shield of Righteousness has a 6 second cool down.
Holy Shield has an 8 second cool down and a 10 second duration. This means if it is used every 9 seconds the shields will overlap leaving no gap.
Judgemnet has a 9 second cool down, if you spend 1 point in improved judgements.
Consecration has an 8 second cool down.

The idea is to cast a spell with a 6 second cool down, then one with a 9 second cool down, then a 6 second cool down then a nine second cool down spell. Just keep alternating between the 6 and 9 second cool down spells. If done right this method can keep on going forever as you will be recasting a spell as it comes off cool down.

The only other spell used in this video is Divine Plea. This is cast before the pull is made to aid with mana regeneration.

The addon that adds a countdown on top of the action bar icons is OmniCC.

CLICKER!!!

[lintissa]

@reemharel2 Clicking was the easiest way to visually show which spells were being used. Otherwise the video would not have worked. You would have known this if you were not as thick as pig shit.

Hey.

Just wondering, what is the name off the addon that when you gain health back by JoL, the amount healer and the spell name flashes on the screen?

Thanks.

@123Keating321 It is scrolling combat text, also known as SCT.
