Nether Protection is a Tier 5 Destruction warlock talent.

Notes

Nether Protection can be triggered by [Nether Ward], [Shadow Ward] and the Voidwalker's [Sacrifice]. It is not triggered by [Power Word: Shield] or damage mitigated through [Soul Link].
Nether Protection will proc a different buff for each spell school. Each buff can be refreshed to its full duration by receiving further damage from that spell school.
Multiple Nether Protection buffs can be active on the warlock at the same time.
Once procced, Nether Protection buffs will last the full duration even if [Nether Ward] expires.
As a passive ability, this does not mitigate or affect the damage that triggered it.
One of the few forms of defense against Holy magic.

Extremely useful against casters.
This talent gives the warlock a steady 30% damage reduction against all spell schools provided [Nether Ward] is used regularly.
Many hunter and rogue attacks also deal magical damage and so work with Nether Ward and Nether Protection.
