Protection Warrior Tank Crucible of Storms Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5

On this page, you will find Protection Warrior specific information pertaining to each boss in the Crucible of Storms raid.

Additionally, this page assumes you are familiar with the mechanics on each fight. The basics of the tank mechanics are not explained, but rather advice is given on how Protection Warriors can best deal with those mechanics.

We advise you to use the following talents against The Restless Cabal.

• Level 15: War Machine
• Level 25: Rumbling Earth
• Level 30: Booming Voice
• Level 35: Menace
• Level 40: Impending Victory
• Level 45: Into the Fray
• Level 50: Anger Management

Make sure to have Shield Block up for Shear Mind, as it is blockable.

Use Shockwave/Stormbolt to help stun and interrupt the Eldritch Abominations; this applies particularly to Storm Bolt, since it can be used at range, allowing you to keep unnecessary boss movement to a minimum.

Make sure to use defensive cooldowns during Umbral Shell, as healing received is reduced by 100%.

If you are soaking a Void Crash, use Spell Reflection to reduce the damage you take from it.

We advise you to use the following talents against Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void.

• Level 15: War Machine
• Level 25: Rumbling Earth
• Level 30: Booming Voice
• Level 35: Menace
• Level 40: Impending Victory (or Indomitable, situationally)
• Level 45: Into the Fray
• Level 50: Anger Management

A combination of Heroic Leap and Intercept can help make the tank swap much more quick and avoid unnecessary issues.

The fear from Unknowable Terror is preventable with Berserker Rage. You will still take a large amount of Shadow damage regardless, so only use Berserker Rage on the fear if absolutely necessary.

Use Shockwave as an AoE interrupt for the Primordial Mindbender casts in Phase 2. Intimidating Shout can also be used to help interrupt as well.
