Protection Warrior Tank Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.0.5

On this page, you will find Protection Warrior-specific information to deal with each boss in the Vault of the Incarnates raid.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Protection Warrior and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

We will frequently update Spell Reflection, Shield Block, and Spell Block tips as the abilities which you can reflect/deflect/block can change at any time.

This talent builds works well for every single boss encounter. If you struggle with magic damage input, feel free to take Spell Block instead of Tough as Nails. You can import the loadout as follows:
