There are many critical abilities in the protection talent tree though. In fact there are more good talents than most players can reasonably take. Just a few of the key ones are: Anticipation for a 5% boost to dodge, Toughness for 10% extra armour, Sacred Duty and Combat Expertise for 8% and 6% additional stamina from each respectively, One-handed weapon specialization for a 10% boost to all damage while holding a one-handed weapon, and many more.
