Iron Creed Iron Creed

Paladin · Protection · Row 6 of 7 · 5 ranks
NEW in Forever

Iron Creed sits in row 6 of the Paladin Protection tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

New in Forever. This talent never existed in Classic, so don't go looking for an old version to compare. There is none.

What Iron Creed 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.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the threat generated by your Holy Strike ability 5%. While Righteous Fury is active, Holy Strike also reduces your damage taken by 2% for 6 sec.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the threat generated by your Holy Strike ability 10%. While Righteous Fury is active, Holy Strike also reduces your damage taken by 4% for 6 sec.
  3. Rank 3: Increases the threat generated by your Holy Strike ability 15%. While Righteous Fury is active, Holy Strike also reduces your damage taken by 6% for 6 sec.
  4. Rank 4: Increases the threat generated by your Holy Strike ability 20%. While Righteous Fury is active, Holy Strike also reduces your damage taken by 8% for 6 sec.
  5. Rank 5: Increases the threat generated by your Holy Strike ability 25%. While Righteous Fury is active, Holy Strike also reduces your damage taken by 10% for 6 sec.

How to reach Iron Creed

Row 6 opens after you spend 25 points in the earlier Protection rows. Level 35 is the earliest you can pick up Iron Creed.

Is Iron Creed 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.
