Protection Warrior Tank Gems, Enchants, and Consumables — Dragonflight 10.1

You should use aim to use gems that provide you with Haste, as that is our most valued secondary stat. The list below consists of gems that are all very good for Protection Warriors.

• Fierce Illimited Diamond
• Crafty Ysemerald
• Energized Ysemerald
• Quick Ysemerald

To better understand the suggestion above, you can take a look at our Stats page. This will explain every stat in-depth, so you can get a better understanding of why these specific ones are the best for Protection Warriors.

Under this section, you can find the most suitable consumables for Protection Warriors.

• Phial of Tepid Versatility in Mythic+ and Raids

Use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power as your "pre-pot" and combat potion. In Mythic+, you can also opt to use Potion of Shocking Disclosure, as it does a lot of pulsing AoE damage.

During encounters, your combat potion should generally be used in combination with Bloodlust/ Heroism if those are used later in the fight, during periods of high damage as a defensive tool, or during your offensive cooldowns to further increase damage.

You should use Refreshing Healing Potion for in-combat healing.

Additionally, Healthstones do not share a cooldown with normal healing potions, so if you have access to a Warlock, make sure you are using both.

You should eat either Feisty Fish Sticks or Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak. If those are unavailable, use the appropriate food according to the stat priority.

In addition to Potions and Enchants mentioned above, we can also use Weapon Oils and Weightstones that enhance our gear even further. These are not permanent and need to be re-applied after an hour or two, so be sure to get multiple of each.

• Primal Whetstone / Primal Weightstone
• Howling Rune

Primordial Stone Gems are a new system, which was added in Patch 10.0.7. These specific gems can be socketed into a ring called Onyx Annulet. As it stands, the Onyx Annulet, with 3 decent sockets, is worth using in 1-2 target scenarios, but should be simmed for Mythic+.

In the table below, you can find the best single target-oriented gems:

• Freezing Ice Stone
• Desirous Blood Stone, together with Prophetic Twilight Stone

The best stones to use in AoE situations, from up to 2+ targets, so mainly Mythic+ can be found below:

• Storm Infused Stone
• Desirous Blood Stone, together with Prophetic Twilight Stone
