Blessing of Protection

Will this remove any physical debuff on the target ? I mean if my teammate got blinded, can i HoP him to free him out of it, or maybe sap, CS,KS, etc

Useful for taking care of Crawler Mines on Iron Juggernaut

Wrong. This is only 10 seconds and casting this triggers a global cool down which the hearthstone is on. Meaning even if you were haste capped there would still be 1 whole second where you are not protected. The old pally bubble was 12 seconds.

This spell also unlocks crowd control effects:
Some fears, stuns ect.

I agree with Jynxcat and gamerunknown. I have a paladin and a priest. I have used this skill 2-3 times on healers and thought it was a bad idea because they froze up. But when I moved over to my priest and jumped into a Warsong Gulch map I discovered that I can use my heals through the shield and I can NOT be stunned/ambushed by rogues while keeping the fc alive for the run back to base. So, Asherkobin, keep up your tactic, it is legit and appreciated.

For anyone new to paladins in pvp, this macro is a lifesaver vs melee in arena.
/cast [@arenapartnerNAME] hand of protection
I know it seems simple and not worthy of a comment, but not many paladins actually have it. You only need one macro for each member of your team. If they are a melee/hunter, make sure not to use it on them if they are bursting or going for a kill unless they 100% WILL die unless it is put on them. Cheers!

In PvP, cannot be used on the flag carrier. Might be obvious, but I had to test it myself since I couldn't find the info anywhere.

Casting Hand of Protection on a teammate who is blinded will remove the blind.

Is it posible that Hand of Protection makes you drop the flag in Warsong Gulch? We've had this happened twice to our flag carrier in a random BG, and it's the only explanation we can come up with.

Yes, Hand of Protection on the flag carrier makes her drop the flag.

Useful for Heroic Staghelm to keep DPS from taking Searing Seeds. This causes their concentration buff to fade when the seed explodes, and reset their 100% DPS buff.

Cast it while running in and tell them to NOT click it off until the tornados stunning the raid are gone, or else the cats will rock their faces.

This spell is obviously most useful on casters who are being focused by melee (in particular Rogues and Warriors), who can rapidly take them down using their CC / stun CD's. Combined with Clemency, it makes for a powerful ability against a melee duo in PVP.

As Retribution, timed with appropriately stacked Word of Glory & Selfless Healer, it is a great way to improve survivability as a "double-dps" team in 2v2 Arena.

Take the time to become proficient utilising all the Hand spells - they really are one of the cornerstones of the Paladin!

Looks like they push the paladin to be more like in the classic beta/alpha.
The new blessings are like the seals from the classic alpha/beta.

This spell also makes the target immune to fall damage, despite the description stating physical attacks.

Edit: No longer relevant since the description has been updated to state physical damage!

If your tank had some awareness, in addition to clicking out of it, he could have taunted. The taunt overrides it and would force the mob to hit you even though you will take no dmg

Re Jynxycat: -Monks- can melee your group to full hp now that it's MoP... ;P

One of the big problems in Heart of Fear's [npc=62543], specially in HC, is the [spell=123180].
If you use a Blessing of Protection (or another physical invulnerability), the Wind Step get dispelled.

just use "/cast [@focus] Hand of Protection" and set your mate as a focus target. So you can use it everywhere else too

no more need to /cancelaura in every ability? yay!

I've done this before during a heroic, but it was on accident. I made the mistake of keeping Divine Protection right next to Hand of Protection for PvP purposes. I was getting prepped to do a Hand of Sacrifice/Divine Protection combo to give the tank some extra protection during an intense boss fight, but after I cast HoS (with our tank still selected), I then pressed Hand of Protection. I felt like quite the moron when the boss proceeded to beat the living crap out of our DPS while our tank frantically ran around trying to figure out what was happening. The tank manage to click out of it, but

They were noobs. period, you did well <3

Yes, but you can't BoP the same target twice in the same minute, thanks to forbearance.

Or use [@party1]

Does not protect against Corstilax's [spell=195791] for those of us Pally's trying to solo.

On of my tanks had me convinced BoP no longer dropped threat anymore, so far that I used it in LFR on Huntsman to drop the first beast's bleed. It didn't go so well as he dropped some poor unsuspecting mage DPS. So yes, I'll be sure to pass along these nice macros to our tank, so that no mages suffer anymore

It's impossible to taunt while you have HoP up unless you cancelaura first; it might be worthwhile however to macro it in to all taunts just for that purpose.

I think his Intention was to place BoP on his mate and himself, which should work without problems.

Shaman also have that totem who ress an allie who dies, it can be casted a split second after u reach the ground and then used.

Greatly improve the reliability of Blessing of Protection when casting as a tank! I have come up with the following macro for you:
#showtooltip
/cast [help,nodead] Blessing of Protection

• 
  
• Press the macro: Cast Blessing of Protection on your target, but only if your target is alive and friendly.
• 
  

Explanation: Frequently, players can accidentally cast Blessing of Protection on themselves when incorrectly targeting an enemy, or when the targeted low-health teammate suddenly dies. This macro will simply do nothing in such cases, even if you have set self-cast as true. To cast Blessing of Protection on yourself, you have to target yourself first.

We can also apply the same conditionals, if we want to combine Blessing of Protection with Divine Shield and, say, a toy like [item=165669]:
#showtooltip
/castsequence [nomod,group,combat] Divine Shield; [nomod] reset=10 Divine Shield,Lunar Elder's Hearthstone; [mod:shift] Lunar Elder's Hearthstone; [mod:alt,help,nodead] Blessing of Protection
/cancelaura [btn:2] Divine Shield

• 
  
• Press the macro (when not both in a group and in combat): Cast Divine Shield first, and use the [item=165669] second. (The Righteous Retreat effect will make your hearth twice as fast!)
• 
  
• Press the macro (when in a group and in combat): Cast Divine Shield. (This is to avoid accidental Righteous Retreats in the middle of M+/raid combat.)
• 
  
• While holding Shift, press the macro: Use the [item=165669].
• 
  
• While holding Alt, press the macro: Cast Blessing of Protection on your target, but only if your target is alive and friendly.
• 
  
• Click the macro with mouse right button: Instantly cancel the Divine Shield buff.
• 
  

Feel free to reply with any feedback!

I used this spell to drop wsg flags from my mates for the lulz :D

Be pretty sweet if there were a BoP for spells. Then it would be a bit strategic about which bouble to use.

Got to love this gem. My Guild uses this to help guildies get Holiday stuff..Like Horde city flames during Midsummer Fire Fest.

I supposed this doesn't make you immune to spell damage?

Bubble hearthing lives on through this. Just barely. you need to be quick.

For any pally that doesn't realize it, this counts as a Blessing and will remove your current one on your target. Rebuff the target after.

(Although not exactly earth-shaking news, because this will only affect raiding pallies BoPing people who aggro raid bosses, and chances are, by the time you hit 70, you'll know.)

The paladin's very own guide to wipe a raid in 5 easy steps.

1. Get a single tank boss to 50%.
2. Target the tank.
3.Click Hand of Protection.
4. ?
5. PROFIT!

Enjoy wiping your raids. I know I have ^^

Hand of Protection also negates the damage from the warlock's Chaos Wave

The Chaos Bolt can hit the Paladin ?

Cmon baby, I got Hand of...
/sigh, it's just not the same :(.

At least I can still do this!
*lays hands on her*

Everytime when a paladin use it i do /chicken
