Guardian's Favor
Paladin · Protection · Row 2 of 7 · 2 ranks
Changed from Classic
Guardian's Favor sits in row 2 of the Paladin Protection tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 2 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.
Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.
What Guardian's Favor does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: Reduces the cooldown of your Blessing of Protection by 1 min and increases the duration of your Blessing of Freedom by 3 sec.
- Rank 2: Reduces the cooldown of your Blessing of Protection by 2 min and increases the duration of your Blessing of Freedom by 6 sec.
How to reach Guardian's Favor
Row 2 opens after you spend 5 points in the earlier Protection rows. Level 15 is the earliest you can pick up Guardian's Favor.
Is Guardian's Favor worth the points?
Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
