1.1.

Glyph of the Defender Icon Glyph of the Defender is the recommended head enchant as it offers more stats overall. Glyph of the Gladiator Icon Glyph of the Gladiator is a great option offered in Phase 5, giving a large amount of stamina and crit immunity.

1.2.

Shoulder

Choose either Greater Inscription of Warding Icon Greater Inscription of Warding or Greater Inscription of the Knight Icon Greater Inscription of the Knight, depending on your faction choice between The Aldor or The Scryers. Fortitude of the Scourge Icon Fortitude of the Scourge is still a very strong option and is the better enchant when you no longer need the defense rating from the other options.

1.3.

Back

Enchant Cloak - Greater Agility Icon Enchant Cloak - Greater Agility is the recommended enchant for your back, as it offers a nice balance of offense and defense. Enchant Cloak - Steelweave IconEnchant Cloak - Steelweave is a new enchant available in Phase 5.

1.4.

Chest

Enchant Chest - Exceptional Health Icon Enchant Chest - Exceptional Health is your go-to chest enchant, offering a sizable amount of health. Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats Icon Enchant Chest - Exceptional Stats may also be used when threat is more of a concern than being tanky. Enchant Chest - Major Resilience IconEnchant Chest - Major Resilience remains a solid option for hitting crit immunity. Enchant Chest - Defense IconEnchant Chest - Defense is available in Phase 5 and helps reach the defense cap while offering some avoidance.

1.5.

Bracers

Enchant Bracer - Fortitude Icon Enchant Bracer - Fortitude is your recommended bracer enchant, offering a high amount of Stamina. Enchant Bracer - Major Defense Icon Enchant Bracer - Major Defense can be used if you are struggling to reach defense cap, especially if wearing resistance gear. Enchant Bracer - Stats IconEnchant Bracer - Stats is a decent threat option.

1.6.

Gloves

Enchant Gloves - Superior Agility IconEnchant Gloves - Superior Agility is a very well-balanced glove enchant, offering you everything you want. Glove Reinforcements Icon Glove Reinforcements is a lesser used enchant, but is actually the tankiest glove enchant you can get. Heavy Knothide Armor Kit Icon Heavy Knothide Armor Kit offers 10 Stamina, which can help on specific magic damage-based fights.

Lastly, Enchant Gloves - Threat IconEnchant Gloves - Threat can be used for the threat increase, although it is minor, especially when looking at the Critical Strike you could have gained from the Agility enchant. I recommend using Threat to gloves for your main gloves.

1.7.

Legs

Nethercleft Leg Armor Icon Nethercleft Leg Armor are massive, granting a huge amount of stamina and agility. Unlike other enchants, these are obtained from Leatherworking.

1.8.

Feet

Enchant Boots - Boar's Speed IconEnchant Boots - Boar's Speed is recommended for the stamina and the 8% movement speed it offers.

1.9.

Ring

Should you choose to pick Enchanting as a profession, Enchant Ring - Stats IconEnchant Ring - Stats is the ring enchant you will want to get.

1.10.

Weapon and Shield

Enchant Weapon - Mongoose IconEnchant Weapon - Mongoose offers a nice mix of offense and defense capabilities through the proc. Enchant Weapon - Greater Agility IconEnchant Weapon - Greater Agility is a viable cheaper alternative if you have an inferior weapon or cannot afford Mongoose.

Enchant Weapon - Executioner IconEnchant Weapon - Executioner is the weapon enchant available in Phase 5. It offers higher threat than Mongoose, but has no defensive side to it.

Enchant Shield - Major Stamina IconEnchant Shield - Major Stamina is the only real option for your shield, offering a very large amount of health.

2.

Protection Warrior Gemming

In this section we will give you all of the gems you want to use as a Protection Warrior. Typically, you will want to ignore socket bonuses unless they offer 3 or more Stamina, or 4 or more of Defense/Dodgy/Agility, and just use Solid Star of Elune Icon Solid Star of Elune.

Sockets Gems
Meta Socket Powerful Earthstorm Diamond Icon Powerful Earthstorm Diamond (make sure to meet the requirements for it to be active)
Red Socket
Yellow Socket
Blue Socket Solid Empyrean Sapphire Icon Solid Empyrean Sapphire

  • Elixir of Ironskin Icon Elixir of Ironskin can be used if you are not immune to critical strikes.
