Protection Paladin Leveling

When you reach each milestone talent

One talent point per level from 10, so a talent that needs N points in a tree is available at level 10 + N − 1 at the earliest.

Milestones: Blizzard class posts (beta). A point-by-point talent order follows once the trees are live; we don't guess it.
