The builds & talents section is quite well explained. But a casual is not interested in reading and deciding which combinaition of talents to pick. Is there a way to suggest two builds (dungeons and raid)? I think there are two save builds to go for. It's important to write, that this is not a general recommendation for experienced prot warriors.

Would you say that the Easy Mode section of recommendations is what you were intending?

Or would you prefer to have it separately in the Builds & Talents page?

Ah yeah, didn't recognize that there is already a easy talent suggest, my fault. It think it's ok to give at least one build suggest, so it's exactly that what i was asking for. If it would be better under Builds & Talents...i dont know :-). Thx 4 Reply!

I have a small issue with the legendaries section of this guide. It is a bit lacking in information. I understand some of the legendaries may not be as great as the ones listed at the top, but I feel like kil'jaeden's burning wish is certainly better than aggramar's stride because of the damage boost that it provides when doing anything besides single target damage. But before stating all the legendaries that I think deserve a spot on your list I want to also point out the formatting and organization is a bit off in this section. After reading it over a couple times I can tell that you listed the legendaries from best to worst but it's a bit hard to tell that from just reading the brief intro paragraph or looking at the thing. So maybe numbering them or stating that it's listed from best to worst would help. Also, I think earlier the intro paragraph to this section had a sentence that said something along the lines of, anything not listed here is not worth mentioning because it is not good for Prot Warriors. I don't know if the sentence was moved or removed but I can't find it anymore, and I would urge that you provide more detailed information on ALL legendaries available to warrior. I am happy to help if it is needed.

Thanks.

No problem! We generally keep them separate, otherwise people start getting confused and asking questions about which one is best etc. etc.

We'll see what we can do, anyway!

Isn't it time that suggested talents and build as well as legendaries are updated? with the change to thundergod's vigor, using legend belt+gloves/wrist should be the best choice almost everywhere, even single target. that makes the booming voice+AM build the main build(if u have legend belt). For example on guldan, which is mostly Single target, with BM+AM and belt, you are able to have Demo shout for every single bonds cast, even if u take all bonds and not share them with other tank. same goes on krosus and other single target fights, controlled use of your demo shout. this build is immense on mythics, and probably better than vengeance +HR even on ST fights.

Hey, Good people, I was wondering if anyone could give me the stats weights for tank, to add them to pawn addon, since the ones I've seen on the internet give priority to haste ... and  haste still be the priority or now is mas/ver?

Stat weights for tanks are often pretty difficult to generate accurately, especially for general characters - I know it's not the answer you're looking for, but a priority is almost always going to function better.

Hi,

Im currently roxking the following stats and wanted to know if I should tune my stats or not.

Health: 5,423,280

Strength: 30,593

Stamina: 90,388

Crit: 9%

Haste: 32%

Mastery: 24%

Versatility: 16%

I did add in a little bit of versatility due to the fact that in nighthold there is lots of magic dmg. I use this set in all fight on HC except for krosus & star augur in which I go for max versatility (~25%)

 

 What do you think of these stats?

They seem fine. If you can drop a tiny bit of Haste to bring you down 1-2%, you can put that elsewhere. Otherwise, it seems fine :)

That's pretty much perfect for the Haste, so it looks like you're set :)

Anyone know of a community site similar to stormearthandlava.com which is for shaman?  I am looking for one for warriors/tanks.  Good info here but a site dedicated to warriors would be nice.

The Warrior discord is likely your best bet to find any more additional information. You can find a link here:

 Kakushan's Stormscale Gauntlets, the tooltip is confusing to me on this one.  It says "Equip Devastator"  What does that mean?

It's the talent, Devastator. The actual legendary procs on use of Devastate, but the talent Devastator removes the ability and makes it baseline in your auto attacks. This then changes the legendary to proc on autos.

General question.  Does anyone use Pawn for gear selection for their warrior tank?

You can, for sure, but you need reliable stat weights for the class. For tanks, this is way harder to calculate/find.

This thread is for comments about our Protection Warrior guide for Legion.

is Riposte even present in todays Prot warrior builds..
I can't find it in spellbook under passive abilitys and it's not visable on talents??
if so wouldn't the old adage of stacking Crit be more viable for avoidance?

Hover over Critical Strike in your character page. It will show up there.

Also, no, it is incredibly unreliable. Other stats can guarantee damage reduction every time whereas, with Parry, you could technically have 80% Parry change but actually parry 0 attacks. Unlikely, but possible.

I actually have a question about the updated guide.Pertaining to netherlight crucible it goes into the priority of the t2 paths but t3 it says "The Tier 3 upgrades priority has been discussed at the top of this page." but when you look at the top of the page there's nothing but the intro.Is there an updated priority or are we to just wing it as is?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
