The builds & talents section is quite well explained. But a casual is not interested in reading and deciding which combinaition of talents to pick. Is there a way to suggest two builds (dungeons and raid)? I think there are two save builds to go for. It's important to write, that this is not a general recommendation for experienced prot warriors.

Would you say that the Easy Mode section of recommendations is what you were intending?

Or would you prefer to have it separately in the Builds & Talents page?

Ah yeah, didn't recognize that there is already a easy talent suggest, my fault. It think it's ok to give at least one build suggest, so it's exactly that what i was asking for. If it would be better under Builds & Talents...i dont know :-). Thx 4 Reply!

I have a small issue with the legendaries section of this guide. It is a bit lacking in information. I understand some of the legendaries may not be as great as the ones listed at the top, but I feel like kil'jaeden's burning wish is certainly better than aggramar's stride because of the damage boost that it provides when doing anything besides single target damage. But before stating all the legendaries that I think deserve a spot on your list I want to also point out the formatting and organization is a bit off in this section. After reading it over a couple times I can tell that you listed the legendaries from best to worst but it's a bit hard to tell that from just reading the brief intro paragraph or looking at the thing. So maybe numbering them or stating that it's listed from best to worst would help. Also, I think earlier the intro paragraph to this section had a sentence that said something along the lines of, anything not listed here is not worth mentioning because it is not good for Prot Warriors. I don't know if the sentence was moved or removed but I can't find it anymore, and I would urge that you provide more detailed information on ALL legendaries available to warrior. I am happy to help if it is needed.

Thanks.

No problem! We generally keep them separate, otherwise people start getting confused and asking questions about which one is best etc. etc.

We'll see what we can do, anyway!

Isn't it time that suggested talents and build as well as legendaries are updated? with the change to thundergod's vigor, using legend belt+gloves/wrist should be the best choice almost everywhere, even single target. that makes the booming voice+AM build the main build(if u have legend belt). For example on guldan, which is mostly Single target, with BM+AM and belt, you are able to have Demo shout for every single bonds cast, even if u take all bonds and not share them with other tank. same goes on krosus and other single target fights, controlled use of your demo shout. this build is immense on mythics, and probably better than vengeance +HR even on ST fights.

Hey, Good people, I was wondering if anyone could give me the stats weights for tank, to add them to pawn addon, since the ones I've seen on the internet give priority to haste ... and  haste still be the priority or now is mas/ver?

Stat weights for tanks are often pretty difficult to generate accurately, especially for general characters - I know it's not the answer you're looking for, but a priority is almost always going to function better.

Hi,

Im currently roxking the following stats and wanted to know if I should tune my stats or not.

Health: 5,423,280

Strength: 30,593

Stamina: 90,388

Crit: 9%

Haste: 32%

Mastery: 24%

Versatility: 16%

I did add in a little bit of versatility due to the fact that in nighthold there is lots of magic dmg. I use this set in all fight on HC except for krosus & star augur in which I go for max versatility (~25%)

 

 What do you think of these stats?

They seem fine. If you can drop a tiny bit of Haste to bring you down 1-2%, you can put that elsewhere. Otherwise, it seems fine :)

That's pretty much perfect for the Haste, so it looks like you're set :)

Anyone know of a community site similar to stormearthandlava.com which is for shaman?  I am looking for one for warriors/tanks.  Good info here but a site dedicated to warriors would be nice.

The Warrior discord is likely your best bet to find any more additional information. You can find a link here:

 Kakushan's Stormscale Gauntlets, the tooltip is confusing to me on this one.  It says "Equip Devastator"  What does that mean?

It's the talent, Devastator. The actual legendary procs on use of Devastate, but the talent Devastator removes the ability and makes it baseline in your auto attacks. This then changes the legendary to proc on autos.

General question.  Does anyone use Pawn for gear selection for their warrior tank?

You can, for sure, but you need reliable stat weights for the class. For tanks, this is way harder to calculate/find.

This thread is for comments about our Protection Warrior guide for Legion.

is Riposte even present in todays Prot warrior builds..
I can't find it in spellbook under passive abilitys and it's not visable on talents??
if so wouldn't the old adage of stacking Crit be more viable for avoidance?

Hover over Critical Strike in your character page. It will show up there.

Also, no, it is incredibly unreliable. Other stats can guarantee damage reduction every time whereas, with Parry, you could technically have 80% Parry change but actually parry 0 attacks. Unlikely, but possible.

I actually have a question about the updated guide.Pertaining to netherlight crucible it goes into the priority of the t2 paths but t3 it says "The Tier 3 upgrades priority has been discussed at the top of this page." but when you look at the top of the page there's nothing but the intro.Is there an updated priority or are we to just wing it as is?

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.

      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look.
