'''Hand of Protection''' is a paladin spell. As of [[Patch 3.0.2]] this ability replaces the former [[Blessing of Protection]] and works in the same way, but uses the [[Hand (spell)|Hand]] system to prevent conflicts with [[Blessing]]s.

Repeat violations may result in a BAN.
−
* Players protected lose aggro while under its duration. Tanking paladins can use this as a last resort method of aggro management, or because of a player's inability to perform melee actions through the shield, an effective way to reign in a melee dps class who is unable to control their own aggro. The threat reduction only lasts for the duration of the hand however, so a tanking paladin needs to make sure they are able to generate enough threat to keep aggro when the hand expires.
