Protection Warrior Legion: Remix Guide — The War Within (11.2.5)

Welcome to our Legion Remix Guide for Protection Warrior! Here we will cover everything you need to know about getting the most out of your Protection Warrior in the Patch 11.2.5 special feature, Legion: Remix.

This page is entirely dedicated to playing Protection Warrior in the new event. If you want to know more about Legion Remix in general, for example how it works and what rewards you can earn, you can check out our dedicated Legion Remix page!

In Legion Remix, you will invest your Infinite Power into one of five artifact paths. Each path grants a special active ability plus a set of passives that boost damage, healing, or survivability. Below are a few solid picks based on your playstyle — though experimenting with themes, visuals, and builds is part of the fun. Just choose what feels right for you!

For single-target: Fel is the tree to go with, just for the raw damage output. That said, using the Nature or Arcane tree provides a more balanced setup between the offensive and defensive capabilities.

For AoE: Storm should be the default pick just for the AoE output it provides. Arcane is also a fun choice with more skill expression involved.

The different paths also interact with eachother, for example Arcane and Storm gain damage by attacking enemies affected by Fel Touched from Fel. Such small interactions encourage players to check what their teammates are playing just to ensure that you get the maximum out of your whole party!

Mixing Paths

Some gear like Jewelry also have the bonus of providing you with a Artifact tree node, even if you are not using that specific tree. As such, we would encourage you to find one which provides the Touch of Malice, so you can get Fel-Touched on enemies even if you are not playing Fel.

Holy is missing from the suggestions above. This tree is more oriented towards supporting your allies while also dishing out a bit of damage. Definitely still check it out, maybe this is the gameplay that you end up enjoying the most.

Here are our suggested leveling builds and talents for Protection Warrior in Legion Remix. Depending on whether you mainly quest, dungeon‑run, or mix both, you may want to tweak things, so we have included builds for all playstyles.

Rage management

You do not want to waste any Rage. As such, Ignore Pain becomes your most important ability to use if you are near maximum Rage. It is off the global cooldown.

Starting at Level 1, you only have one active ability: Slam.

1. Cast Charge to initiate combat whenever possible.
2. Victory Rush activates whenever an enemy is killed. Use it to heal yourself.
3. Use Impending Victory to heal yourself when needed.
4. Cast Avatar to generate a bit of Rage and greatly increase your damage.
5. Cast Demoralizing Shout to reduce the damage you take, and increase the damage you deal (when using the Booming Voice talent).
6. Cast Shield Charge.
7. Cast Champion's Spear.
8. Cast Ravager.
9. Cast Shield Slam to deal a lot of damage.
10. Cast Shield Slam to generate Rage and deal damage.
11. Cast Thunder Clap to generate Rage and deal damage, particularly during Avatar with Unstoppable Force talented.
12. Cast Execute when enemies are below 20% health.
13. Spend Rage on Whirlwind to damage multiple targets if you do not need to spend it on your active mitigation to survive.
14. Spend Rage on Revenge to damage multiple targets if you do not need to spend it on your active mitigation to survive.
15. Cast Slam as your filler spell.
