You’ll have moments where you facepull a pack of mobs and panic. The guide has a whole section on pulling and positioning. It says, “Face the boss away from the group.” Sounds obvious, right? You’d be surprised. Face them away, not at the healer. That’s how you make friends.
And for the love of the Light, interrupt things. Use Rebuke. The guide will scream from the screen, “INTERRUPT OR DIE.” It’s not wrong. A dead party is a sad party.
Final Coffee Shop Wisdom
Look, Icy Veins isn’t perfect. Sometimes the gear recommendations feel like they’re from a parallel universe. But for 95% of Prot Pallies, it’s the roadmap to glory. Read it, then go hit a training dummy. Punch a target. Yell “IN THE NAME OF THE LIGHT!” at your monitor. Nobody’s watching.
Bottom line? You’ll feel like a god. You’ll pull entire rooms and survive. Your healer will either love you or hate you—probably both. Bookmark the guide, and remember: shields up, Consecration down, and always carry a spare coffee. You’re a Paladin. You’ve earned it.
