Notes
  • All Phases: We try to provide balanced sets for tanks. Some fights might require more threat focused or mitigation focused sets.
  • All Phases: At the cost of survivability, dual-wielding with a stat-stick in the offhand such as
    Fang of Vashj
    will increase your threat significantly.
  • All Phases: Your main objectives when gearing up as Protection Warrior are to reach the expertise soft cap, the special hit cap, and to become uncrittable.
  • All Phases: PvP pieces are great because they allow you to become uncrittable much easier through Resilience while still providing a ton of Stamina and offensive stats for threat.
  • Phase 5: Brutallus will require a gear set with much more mitigation.
  • Phase 5: Humans can use
    Pepe's Shroud of Pacification
    and
    Borderland Paingrips
    .
  • Phase 5:
    Hard Khorium Goggles
    is your bis helm if you have Engineering.
  • Phase 3-4: Humans should use
    Blade of Savagery
    instead of
    The Brutalizer
    .
