    Prot Paladin - Thoughts on the New Ardent Defender Legendary

    I only have the righteous bulwork made.

    I am undecided about where to with my next legendary.

    Anyone trying it out.

    Thoughts in general.

    It looks interesting enough to craft one.

    Well, according to our Hammer of Wrath Discord, it's still not worth crafting it. Maybe once we can use 2 leggos, but right now, if you have a need for a survival leggo, you are better off with Magistrate's Judgment (defensive) or Holy Avenger's Engraved Sigil (for a more general purpose leggo).

    Its nerfed, the previous version was better. I've rarely needed the additional health restore on the proc (20% is fine), so the additional 40% hp restore is so situational you don't care much for it. The 40% cd reduction isnt great either as unbreakable spirit + conduit already reduce ardent defender to like a 1min cd, I don't see the point in reducing it any further, especially consider that ''40%'' is pretty much just 20seconds or so.

    Any prot legendary you craft is basically up to your preference, the build you play and the content you're tanking. There are several good options but it depends on what kind of tanking you're doing.

    Barring a specific set of tactics, I can't ever imagine it having been worth crafting even prior to this nerf. Dunno why they even nerfed it since it was shit to begin with.

    I've actually given it a couple of tries. (crafted only 210 iLvl)

    These are the 2 Soulbinds that I normally use:

    I'm mainly using the legendary for the shorter CD, as with the above soulbinds and the talent Unbreakable Spirits Ardent Defender's CD seems to become relatively short (around 10-ish seconds gap) which I find it rather useful.

    But of course, each to their own.
