Season of Discovery Protection Warrior Tank Gear and Best in Slot

This list is made up of Sunken Temple raid drops, world drops, profession gear, quest rewards and dungeon drops.

This list is made up of defensive Gnomeregan raid drops, world drops, profession gear, quest rewards and dungeon drops.

With the added damage intake in Phase 2 and addition of Spirit of the Alpha and Blessing of Salvation for easier threat management, defensive play is more viable than it was before, and the gear listed here has much lower competition than the offensive gear listed in the alternative BiS gear further down below.
