Blessing of Sanctuary is a talent in the Protection tree, you will need to spend 21 points in Protection to max it. This blessing is primarily intended for tanking paladins, as it requires a significant investment into the protection tree. See [Greater Blessing of Sanctuary] for the 30 minute version of this buff.

Notes

This buff overwrites the warrior [Vigilance]. Similarly, Vigilance overwrites Sanctuary.

Tips and Tactics

This spell is most useful when faced with a number of quick hitting mobs of lower levels as it increases the amount of times you are avoiding attacks, and therefore increases mana regeneration. This talent is best used in conjunction with [Holy Shield] in order to increase the amount of mana returned.

This blessing is a key part of Paladin AoE grinding. However, when dealing mainly with single target, a protection paladin may be better off using [Blessing of Wisdom] to reduce downtime.

Normally, only Protection Paladins have this blessing.
