Protection Warrior PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets (Dragonflight / 10.0.7)

The stat priority for Protection Warriors in PvP is as follows:

1. Strength
2. Versatility
3. Haste = Mastery = Critical Strike

Your gear goal should be to be fully equipped in Conquest gear. You will need to get a pair of Infurious Warboots of Impunity, in order to empower the 2-set bonus of your PvP trinkets.

Note: It is important to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a boost to your primary stat, stamina and provide a CC-reducing effect to you.

Crimson Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. Even Human players will want to pick up this item against some compositions.

Crimson Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and provides a large increase to Strength.

Crimson Gladiator's Emblem gives you an extra defensive by giving you a temporary health increase. This should be used if your priority is to survive and you know you are the kill target. Activating this trinket can then further empower Rallying Cry on you should it be necessary.

Here are the best enchants and gems for a Protection Warrior:

• Neck: Tiered Medallion Setting
• Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Writ of Speed / Enchant Cloak - Homebound Speed
• Chest: Enchant Chest - Sustained Strength
• Legs: Fierce Armor Kit
• Rings: Enchant Ring - Devotion of Versatility
• Feet: Enchant Boots - Plainsrunner's Breeze
• Wrist: Enchant Bracer - Devotion of Speed
• Weapon Enchant: Enchant Weapon - Sophic Devotion

Gem all of your gear with Steady Nozdorite.

In Patch 10.0.7, the Onyx Annulet is introduced, which can fit up to 3 different Primordial Stone Gems. It is still currently being explored whether using these gems are worthwhile in PvP or not.

This section will be updated when more information is known.
