Angelic war-form: the biggest Holy kit in the game (38 Holy-school abilities), built around ascension windows, protective wards, and radiant bursts. Where Piety smites steadily, Seraphim transforms and erupts.
Avoiding an attack now has a 20% chance to grant you Angelic Presence: your next Illumination within 15 seconds is instant cast and free of cost.
Closest to retail Protection Paladin, with a dash of Discipline Priest bolted on: the core loop — shield plus one-hand weapon, block and avoidance converted into board presence, spent on both offense (Justicar's Wrath, Dawnbreak's shield-radiate cone, Hammer of Kings) and defense (Seraphic Bulwark, Dawnguard's block stacking) — is Protection Paladin through and through. The Discipline Priest flavor shows up in the shield-and-support toolkit: The Chosen turns your Illumination into a self-absorb that detonates for Holy damage (Hope), Scroll of Hope is a raid-wide magic-mitigation cooldown with a low-HP triage heal, and Sun Disc pulses increased healing to nearby allies. So mechanically it's a Protection Paladin chassis wearing a Discipline Priest's shield flavor.
Why is this spec not rated like the others?
Combat logs rank players by damage output. A tank does not produce meaningful damage — its job is to absorb it.
Its rating therefore answers a different question: is it brought to raids?
Across 671 fights of raids, all difficulties with at least 90% of the roster known.
The expected share is what a spec would get if slots were split at random between those competing for them — a tank and a damage spec are not after the same number. Above ×1 it is brought more than its share; below, less.
This rating never exceeds A: it describes what groups choose, not what a specialisation produces. A spec can be strong and rare.

Ranking updated on August 17, 2026
These talents are a PvE configuration. The Arena and Battleground grades shown above rate the specialisation’s PvP potential — not this tree.
Holy Strength converts Strength into spell power, while Solar Might raises Strength directly — a single point of Strength therefore feeds both the physical side (attack power) AND the Holy/Fire side of every hybrid formula (Justicar's Wrath, Dawnbreak, Hammer of Kings), making Strength the true primary stat, well ahead of the Intellect the old note weighted equally. Spell Hit still gates the spell-component attacks (Justicar's Wrath, Angel's Calling), so it caps ahead of raw Spell Power/Attack Power.
