1. Single-Target Rotation for Protection Warriors
The single-target rotation as a Protection Warrior is based on the following priority. As said, this is a priority. It is not the exact sequence in which abilities should be cast, but rather for each time you are able to cast an ability, you should start at the top of the list and cast the first available ability for which you meet the criteria. This applies to all "rotations" hereafter.
This does not take into account usage of your active mitigation abilities (we cover this important topic in a subsequent section). Active mitigation usage is generally much more nuanced, and it would not be optimal to list them within an ability priority.
The following priorities also assume you are running the recommended build from the talents page. Information on how to play properly with other talents is provided further down this page.
The overall goal is to generate as much Rage as possible by casting Rage-generating abilities, so that Rage can then be spent on active mitigation.
- Cast
Shield Slam on cooldown.- It can be reset anytime you cast
Devastate,
Thunder Clap, or 
Revenge, so watch out for these
procs.
- It can be reset anytime you cast
- Cast Thunder Clap on cooldown.
- Cast Revenge only if it is free.
- Cast Devastate.
Demoralizing Shout should also be cast on cooldown (when using
Booming Voice) and is technically first in the ability priority. Out
of all your Rage-generating abilities, it generates the most Rage.
Avatar should be cast on cooldown as well. It is worth delaying
Demoralizing Shout by a few seconds if Avatar is about to come off
cooldown. Do not delay Avatar for Demoralizing Shout.
Additionally, and this applies to both Demoralizing Shout and
Avatar, if you are trying to maximize damage, you can delay those
cooldowns by a few seconds if 
Shield Slam is close to being
available. Particularly if you are able to cast 
Shield Block before
that Shield Slam for increased damage. Never delay your offensive cooldowns by
more than 3-4 seconds.
Note that since 
Revenge costs Rage (unless it has a proc from you
having dodged or parried an attack), it is not worth using Rage to cast it,
since Devastate also has a chance to reset Shield Slam and is free.
The only thing Revenge provides over 
Devastate is a bit of extra
damage.
If you are in a situation where you do not need to put any Rage towards
Ignore Pain for survivability purposes, you can of course spend Rage
on Revenge instead to slightly increase your damage.
In addition to the above, you should use 
Intercept to generate
extra Rage throughout the fight. Technically speaking it should be prioritzied
below Shield Slam and above everything else, but you have to be
careful using it. If you are actively tanking, use this only if you can avoid
turning the boss around, moving it from its position, or causing yourself or the
raid to take extra damage. If you are not actively tanking, you can use
Intercept on the current tank to help reduce some of the damage they are taking.
Intercept can cause things like stacking debuffs to go on you instead of the
current tank, potentially causing issues, so use it on melee DPS if you are not
sure if it safe to use on the current tank. If you will need to use Intercept
for movement, make sure to save at least one charge for that time.
2. Multi-Target Rotation for Protection Warriors
Against multiple targets, when playing defensively, the ability priority is exactly the same as the single-target priority. It maximizes Rage generation and therefore survivability.
In dungeons in particular where there are often new enemies to gain aggro on,
it is worth casting 
Thunder Clap (or Revenge if Thunder
Clap is not available, even if it costs Rage) over Shield Slam in
order to pick up those enemies. Saving your allies is far more important than a
bit of Rage.
If, and only if, survivability is not an issue whatsoever and you want to do as much damage as possible, the following priority should be followed in multi-target situations:
- Cast Thunder Clap on cooldown.
- Cast Revenge on cooldown.
- Cast Shield Slam on cooldown.
- Cast Devastate.
Remember that you are still casting abilities like
Demoralizing Shout, Avatar, and Intercept in
multi-target according to the above guidelines.
3. Opener for Protection Warriors
Generally, you will want to 
Taunt as you cast
Intercept.
- Cast
Intercept. - Cast
Avatar. - Cast
Demoralizing Shout only if 
Booming Voice is
selected. - Cast
Shield Block. - Cast Shield Slam.
- Proceed with the appropraite ability priority.
Opening with Thunder Clap instead of Shield Slam can be
useful when there are multiple targets to pick-up. Or, if gaining threat is
particularly important, for example when pulling a dangerous pack in a dungeon,
cast Thunder Clap after you Intercept or between Avatar
and Demoralizing Shout.
After executing the opener, you will almost always follow up that
Shield Slam with a Thunder Clap, leaving you at (15 + 20 +
40 - 30 + 15 + 5) 65 Rage (plus a bit more, since you have meleed and been
meleed at this point). Since you are in Avatar here, make sure you
are react to the amount of Rage you have accordingly and do not cap Rage.
4. Active Mitigation Usage for Protection Warriors
Your rotation is there to generate Rage for you, which you should then invest
into your active mitigation abilities. As a Protection Warrior, you have two
abilities that are essential to staying alive: Shield Block and
Ignore Pain.
4.1. Shield Block
Shield Block is your primary active mitigation ability. In the
vast majority of situations, most of the damage you will take is blockable. As
such, keeping Shield Block up as much as possible is key to smoothing out damage
and helping you survive. Shield Block scales with the damage you are taking
since it is a percent reduction to damage rather than a flat amount like
Ignore Pain is.
It is important to understand the difference between overall
Shield Block uptime and effective uptime. You want to have
as much effective Shield Block uptime as possible. All that means is having
Shield Block up when you are tanking something that actually melees you.
Essentially, anytime you are tanking something, you should be keeping
Shield Block up as much as possible. It should still, however, be
used intelligently, much like you would use major cooldowns. Timing is
important, so there are a few things to look out for in this regard:
- Shield Block works against all melee attacks (as in,
auto-attacks/white hits), but there are also many boss abilities/mechanics
that are blockable as well. Sometimes, things that you would expect to be
blockable are not, and things that you would not expect to be blockable are.
You simply have to have knowledge of what these blockable mechanics are. The
point here is that if you do know a higher damage ability is
blockable, you are much better off delaying Shield Block so that the last
bit of its duration blocks that ability.
- For further benefit, you can time Shield Block with the
enemy's melee swings. Most enemies have a swing timer between 1.5 and 2
seconds. If you cast Shield Block right after a melee, you essentially just
lost 2 seconds of effective uptime. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell
when an enemy is actually melee attacking you, so this point is not super
important, but can be beneficial if done properly.
- Also be aware of the enemy's spell casts/channels. If the boss is about
to spend 5 seconds casting a spell, you should delay Shield Block
accordingly.
- Similar to the first point, but if you know an enemy is about to deal
increased damage, you should delay Shield Block for those periods
as well. For example, in Mythic+, enemies deal significantly more damage
once they hit 30% health if the
Raging affix is active.
While this is not a specific ability, its a mechanic you should be aware of
and adjust Shield Block usage around.
If you are not currently tanking, and there is a good amount of time before
you do tank again, use Shield Block to increase
Shield Slam's damage. Just be sure to time it in such a way that as
you are about to tank again, you have close to 2 charges of Shield Block, so you
can maximize effective uptime.
As said above, Shield Block is your primary active mitigation
ability. It takes priority over Ignore Pain assuming you are taking
blockable damage (which is almost always).
4.1.1. Last Stand
When using 
Bolster, 
Last Stand should be used like
Shield Block assuming you do not need Last Stand for a specific
mechanic. You should do your best to not overlap Last Stand and Shield Block, as
it does not add to Shield Block's duration. Having them both up at the same time
provides no additional benefit. Since Last Stand lasts 15 seconds, it gives you
the time to gain very close to, or a full Shield Block charge (depending on your
Haste). So if used when you have a charge of Shield Block available, you risk
wasting a bit of Shield Block cooldown time. Essentially, once you have used
both charges of Shield Block and the actual Shield Block buff has expired,
further increase your effective block uptime by using Last Stand.
4.2. Ignore Pain
Ignore Pain reduces damage by a flat amount, and with its current
tuning, is much weaker than Shield Block. As such, it should be used
in addition to Shield Block, not in place of it.
Shield Block is limited by its cooldown, where
Ignore Pain is simply limited by the amount of Rage you have
available. So, once you have Shield Block up and on cooldown, spend your
remaining Rage on Ignore Pain, making sure you save enough Rage to use Shield
Block once it comes off cooldown. More or less, Ignore Pain should be used to
further smooth out your damage intake.
Just like Shield Block though, it can and should be used
intelligently if doing so provides a benefit.
- It is very important to track your current absorb amount so you are not
spending Rage on
Ignore Pain if you are at, or close to, the cap.
Since Ignore Pain's cap is 1.3 times Ignore Pain on cast, you generally
should not cast Ignore Pain again until your absorb is close to depleting.
This WeakAura tracks your
current absorb and cap. - If you are not tanking, and are taking very little or no damage, do not
use your Rage on Ignore Pain. Depending on how long you are not
tanking for, it will simply expire, wasting that Rage. Instead, try to cast
an Ignore Pain right before you start tanking again. If you are
taking damage while not tanking, cast Ignore Pain as needed to help out your
healers.
- While generally speaking you will want to use Ignore Pain to
smooth out your damage intake, it can also be very important to pool your
Rage and cast Ignore Pain right before a large spike of damage, increasing
the chance that you survive that spike.
Something very important to note is that Ignore Pain is on the
global cooldown. You cannot freely cast it like you can
Shield Block. This means you have to fit it into the rotation where
it makes the most sense. If you were to add Ignore Pain to the ability priority,
it would look like this:
- Cast Ignore Pain if you are at risk of dying and need the
immediate survivability.
- ...
- Cast Ignore Pain.
- Cast Devastate.
Essentially, Ignore Pain should be used in place of
Devastate when smoothing out damage, however it is your #1 priority
if you are at risk of dying (assuming you have the Rage to cast it).
Additionally, if you are ever in the extremely rare situation where there is
very, very little blockable damage, or none at all, you will of course
want to prioritize Ignore Pain over Shield Block.
Finally, it is important to note that unlike Shield Block,
Ignore Pain does not count as active mitigation for boss
abilities that require active mitigation to be in effect (also known as active
mitigation checks, or "AM" checks).
5. Rotation during Avatar
This section only applies if you are using 
Unstoppable Force.
With Unstoppable Force, when you cast Avatar, your
ability priority stays the same, but you have to approach it in a different
way.
During Avatar, Thunder Clap is available every other
global cooldown. This means that you will be rotating between Thunder Clap and
another ability based on the ability priority. For example, if you get lucky and
many of your Thunder Clap casts reset Shield Slam, you will find
yourself alternating between Thunder Clap and Shield Slam.
As another example, you might have a cast sequence that looks like this:
Shield Slam, Thunder Clap, Shield Slam,
Thunder Clap, Revenge (free), Thunder Clap,
Ignore Pain...
Again, your ability priority does not change. Shield Slam is still
above Thunder Clap. Just be aware that during Avatar,
Thunder Clap has a significantly reduced cooldown and adjust accordingly.
Also, it is very easy to Rage cap during Avatar, so be ready to
dump Rage into Ignore Pain / Revenge.
If going purely for damage, Thunder Clap takes priority over
Shield Slam. This is true for single-target as well, with the
exception being that if and only if Shield Block is up, Shield Slam
deals more damage on single-target.
6. Cooldown Usage for Protection Warriors
As a Protection Warrior, you have a number of defensive cooldowns. Using your defensive cooldowns properly is extremely important. You want to plan out your cooldowns before going into an encounter and maximize their usage as much as possible. Outlined below are your various defensive cooldowns and how they should be used. For more info on cooldown usage in general, see the mistakes page.
6.1. Last Stand
Last Stand can and should be used in two different ways depending
on the situation. With Bolster, Last Stand should be used to extend
effective block uptime as outlined above in the Shield Block section.
If there are many high-damage mechanics or if you are able to have Shield Block
up for the majority of your active tanking time, then Last Stand should instead
be used as an emergency cooldown - if your health drops to a dangerously
low level unexpectedly - or as a pre-emptive cooldown to prepare for a large
damage spike.
If you are not running Bolster, then simply use it as an
emergency or preemptive cooldown.
6.2. Shield Wall
Shield Wall should be used to prepare for a large damage spike, or
during periods of high damage. It is not recommended to use it if your health
suddenly drops low, as it does nothing to get your health back up, but in
situations where you have nothing else, you want to use it if it
increases your chance to survive.
6.3. Demoralizing Shout
With Booming Voice, Demoralizing Shout should be used
on cooldown and for damage purposes. Its cooldown is fairly short, particularly
with 
Anger Management, so you will have fairly high uptime on the
damage reduction. More often than not you will have it up at a good time,
helping you smooth out damage.
Now, there are definitely situations where you will want to delay the usage
of Demoralizing Shout if you know there is heavy damage upcoming and
you do not have anything else available.
Without Booming Voice, simply use it as you would a normal
defensive cooldown.
6.4. Spell Reflection
Spell Reflection can be used in two different ways. Either as a way
to reflect a specific spell cast at you, or as a magic damage reduction
cooldown. The vast majority of spells cast by bosses are not
reflectable, but the damage reduction portion still works of course. Rarely,
some boss abilities are reflectable, and in these cases reflecting them can be
extremely powerful, both in terms of damage reduction and dealing damage to the
boss.
Most of the time, you will be using it as a magic damage reduction tool.
However, in dungeons and similar content, reflecting particularly powerful
spells is a great use of Spell Reflection. Remember that when you
reflect a spell, you lose the Spell Reflection buff, meaning you lose the damage
reduction as well. Be mindful of this if you are in a situation where you need
the magic damage reduction but there are also reflectable spells being cast at
you.
7. Mastering Your Protection Warrior
In this section, we will dive a bit deeper into the core mechanics and various abilities of Protection Warriors. Understanding these topics is an important step to truly mastering the specializaztion.
7.1. Rage Generation
Warrior's primary resource is Rage. It is important that you understand how Rage is generated, so you can effectively manage and use it.
Rage has a maximum capacity of 100, and is empty by default. Rage decays at a rate of 1 per second when out of combat. In combat, Rage does not decay.
You generate Rage in two main ways. Passively, and through abilities.
7.1.1. Passive Rage Generation
There are two sources of passive Rage generation.
- 2 Rage is gained every time you auto-attack. Note that this
scales with attack speed. Equipping daggers, for example, is not for better
Rage generation.
- More specifically, you generate 1.75 * weaponSpeed * 0.44 Rage per auto-attack. 1-handed weapons are 2.6 speed, which equates to 2 Rage per auto-attack.
- 3 Rage is gained every time you are hit by an enemy
auto-attack.
- There is a cooldown on this. It seems to be around 1 second, but the exact cooldown is unknown at the moment.
Rage is not gained from avoidance events (that is, if the enemy parries/dodges or if you parry/dodge).
Because Rage is gained when you are hit by an auto-attack, Rage generation tends to be much higher in dungeons or encounters with multiple enemies.
7.1.2. Rage from Abilities
In order of most Rage to least:
- Demoralizing Shout generates 40 Rage (only with
Booming Voice).
- Avatar generates 20 Rage.
- Shield Slam generates 15 Rage.
- Intercept generates 15 Rage.
- Thunder Clap generates 5 Rage.
7.1.3. Rage Management
It is important to understand that you do not have to spend Rage as
soon as you get it. Pooling your Rage in order to maximize Rage generation,
survivability, or damage is an important aspect of playing Protection Warrior.
For example, if you are in a fight and trying to maximize damage, and are
casting Revenge to do so, and you reach a part of the fight where
additional enemies join, then you will want to save your Rage/Revenge cast and
cast it on those additional enemies. As another example, during
Avatar, you may get a long streak of Shield Slam resets.
Capitalizing on those resets immediately, rather than delaying them by a global
cooldown by casting Ignore Pain/Revenge, will result in more Rage and
more casts of Rage-spending abilities. You do not lose casts of Ignore
Pain/Revenge by waiting, since they are limited by the total amount of Rage you
have available.
You can lose casts however if you cap out on Rage. Meaning you hit the max of 100 Rage and any further Rage generation is lost.
On single-target, you will generate a decent amount of Rage, but you will rarely ever get close to capping out on Rage unless playing incorrectly.
On multi-target however, specifically when you have multiple enemies auto-attacking you, is where proper Rage management is necessary to avoid capping.
You should follow your ability priority as usual unless you hit a point where
following it would result in wasting Rage. In those situations,
Revenge and Ignore Pain become your highest priority
abilities. If you are about to cap out on Rage, and have very little or no
Ignore Pain absorb left, then make sure to cast Ignore Pain to stop yourself
from capping. If going for damage or you already have Ignore Pain up, use
Revenge. Generally, you should still prioritize Thunder Clap above
Revenge as wasting 5 Rage is minimal and the extra damage gained from doing so
is worth it. As an example, say you are at 96 Rage. Casting
Shield Slam at that point would provide you with 4 Rage, not 15. On
average, you will gain more overall Rage by delaying Rage-generating abilities
by a global cooldown to avoid capping.
Additionally, as you repeat content and gain more experience with different
encounters/situations, you should switch to a DPS ability priority (that is,
prioritize higher damage abilites over Shield Slam) if you know that
normally in that situation you will have to "dump" Rage as outlined above. That
way, you deal more damage and generate slightly less Rage, reducing your risk of
capping and increasing your overall throughput.
7.2. Block Rating
You may notice that there is a "Block" stat on shields. The character sheet has Block rating, and all of that rating comes from the Block on shields (besides potential bonuses from Azerite traits and such). So if a shield has 2000 Block, the character sheet will show 2000 Block. Currently, the amount of Block on your shield is always 2.5 times the amount of Armor on your shield.
The damage reduction from blocking is calculated based on your total Block. It is calculated in the same way damage reduction for Armor is: blockRating / (blockRating + k). Currently, the k value for Armor / Block is 6300 for level 120-123 enemies. Block damage reduction is entirely separate from Armor and having more Armor does not affect it. For example, if the player has a shield with 4000 Block on it, damage reduction from blocking is ˜38.83%.
Critical blocks are simply double the damage reduction. From the example above, a critical block for that player would be a 77.66% damage reduction. It is worth noting that just like Armor, there is a cap of 85% on damage reduction from Block. If a shield were to provide 50% damage reduction on normal blocks, critical blocks with that shield would only be 85%.
This system incentivizes Shield upgrades heavily. Getting a good shield is a significant increase to survivability, way more than a similar upgrade to another piece of gear would be.
7.3. Abilities
7.3.1. Taunting
Taunt is your single-target taunt ability. Casting Taunt
significantly increases your threat generation for its duration. If you are
having trouble building threat, deal as much damage as possible in this
window.
A potentially important mechanic with taunting that not many people know about is the fact that there are diminishing returns on the duration of taunts. If an enemy is taunted enough within a certain timeframe, they become immune to taunts.
There is a 20-second reset window on the diminishing returns on taunting. That is, if 20 seconds go by without a taunt being cast on a particular enemy, the diminishing returns resets.
For each taunt after the first, the duration of the taunt is two-thirds of the previous duration. The enemy is immune to a sixth taunt.
The first taunt lasts 3 seconds, the second 2 seconds, the third 1.4 seconds, the fourth 0.9 seconds, and the fifth 0.6 seconds.
Being aware of this mechanic and knowing when you may be affected by it is important when planning how to approach a particular encounter.
7.3.2. Heroic Throw
Heroic Throw deals little damage, but generates a decent amount of
threat. It has no cost and no cooldown. Use it to gain aggro on distant enemies.
Also, if you are ever out of range of an enemy and cannot get back into melee
range for whatever reason, you can spam Heroic Throw for a tiny bit of extra
damage.
7.3.3. Intercept
Outside of the uses for Intercept outlined in the rotation
section, there a few important ways Intercept can be helpful. Knockback
mechanics can be almost entirely negated by Intercept if reacted to quickly.
Using it to move quickly to another area by casting it on an ally or enemy,
perhaps to get out of environmental damage, can be extremely useful. Lastly,
taking advantage of the 1-second root on enemies that you Intercept can be
beneficial in certain situations.
If 
Safeguard is chosen as a talent, Intercept turns
into a fairly powerful external cooldown. Planning usage of this correct can be
very helpful to your raid in the right situations.
7.3.4. Heroic Leap
Heroic Leap can be used to jump over ground effects or other
various mechanics that you would normally have to run around. It is not 100%
consistent in that sometimes when you jump over something you might still take
the damage, but more often than not you can use Heroic Leap to your advantage in
this way. More simply, Heroic Leap is great for getting into position or out of
dangerous mechanics.
Heroic Leap also resets the remaining cooldown on
Taunt. This means that you can easily Leap towards a new add that
spawned and immediately use Taunt to grab aggro even if you had used Taunt a
second ago.
7.3.5. Shockwave
Proper use of 
Shockwave can be extremely important, both from a
crowd control perspective and a survivability perspective. It can be
used to stun enemies that are casting to interrupt those or to keep enemies in
place, but, arguably more importantly, it can be used to completely stop damage
for its duration. Say Shield Block runs out and you have no major
defensive cooldowns left to use. Using Shockwave on enemies (assuming they are
not immune) completely stops their damage. Timing its usage around your active
mitigation can prevent deaths.
7.3.6. Intimidating Shout
Intimidating Shout should be used in the same way
Shockwave is used; for crowd control purposes or survivability
purposes. You do have to be more careful with this ability though. The enemies
that flee can run into another pack of enemies and pull them, possibly resulting
in a wipe.
7.3.7. Rallying Cry
Timing 
Rallying Cry well can be the difference between a kill and
a wipe. It is a fairly significant survivability increase for your group, so
plan its usage well.
7.3.8. Battle Shout
While not actually used in combat (unless to give the buff to a recently
resurrected ally), make sure you cast 
Battle Shout on your group or
yourself before entering combat.
7.3.9. Berserker Rage
Berserker Rage is a fantastic ability in the right situations.
There are a fair share of enemy abilities that fear, and being able to completely
stop those is a huge advantage. Identify where Berserker Rage can be used, and
take advantage of those situations.
7.3.10. Victory Rush
While generally useless on boss fights, it can save your life you get it to
proc. For pure survivability, it is your highest priority ability (assuming you
are low on health). In dungeons, in particular, make sure you are maximizing
usage of 
Victory Rush.
7.3.11. Pummel
Many players simply do not use their kick unless specifically instructed to. Interrupting enemies can stop potentially deadly mechanics from going out. Identify those dangerous mechanics and use your kick!
7.4. Rotations with Other Talents
7.4.1. Punish
The ability priority when 
Punish is talented does not change.
Rather, just be aware that on multi-target, mainly 2-3 targets, you want to keep
the Punish debuff up on as many targets as possible. All that means is switching
targets when necessary to apply the debuff.
7.4.2. Best Served Cold
With Best Served Cold, and only with ability priorities that
maximize damage, Revenge has a higher priority than
Thunder Clap as long as there are two or more targets. Otherwise, the
ability priority remains the same.
7.4.3. Dragon Roar
In the normal survivability oriented ability priority, 
Dragon Roar
takes priority over Thunder Clap, but not Shield Slam. For
maximizing damage, it is first in priority.
7.4.4. Vengeance
Firstly, make sure you have read the explanation for 
Vengeance on
the talents page.
The ability priority does not change with Vengeance. Rather, for
survivability purposes, just be sure to follow up any Revenge casts
with an Ignore Pain. As stated in the talents page, do not "force"
the use of Revenge. Usage of Ignore Pain remains the same. Only prioritize it
above Devastate unless casting it is necessary for survivability.
Also be mindful of Rage management and adjust to that accordingly.
Essentially, never cast Revenge or Ignore Pain twice
in a row unless casting Ignore Pain is necessary for survival. For
example, say you have a free Revenge (and
Shield Slam/ Thunder Clap are on cooldown) but your
Vengeance buff is currently reducing the cost of Ignore Pain. Even
though Revenge is technically of a higher priority than Ignore Pain, cast Ignore
Pain first in that situation, and then cast that free Revenge. In other words,
when you have the buff the reduces the cost of Ignore Pain, Ignore Pain
"replaces" Revenge in the ability priority.
When maximizing damage, do not rotate between Revenge and
Ignore Pain. Spend your Rage on Revenge as you normally would.
7.4.5. Devastator
With Devastator, simply omit Devastate from any
ability priority.
7.4.6. Heavy Repercussions
The only adjustment you have to make with 
Heavy Repercussions is to
delay Shield Block (assuming you will not cap out on Shield Block
charges) for Shield Slam, to maximize the amount of Shield Slam casts
inside Shield Block.
