One change that may be too recent for an update to this guide: At level 8, instead of learning Charge Rank 2 (generates 10 more rage), you learn Taunt, which is listed at level 14 currently. It should look like this:

• At Level 8, you unlock Taunt, a threat tool which forces the enemy to focus and attack you.

....

• At Level 14, you also unlock Charge, this will make Charge generate 10 more Rage.

Hello!
I apologize, the link was for not-synced PTR build. It should be updated in the upcoming days!
I will paste it here for you meanwhile. The build focuses on AoE damage and movement abilities.

I zeroed out my L30 Protection Warrior, then used the Points by Level option to add them as listed. These issues are present:

For the Warrior tree

• Heroic Leap (currently at L16) requires Fast Footwork (currently at L20) before it can be taken.
• Storm Bolt (currently at L24) can't be taken at that level. The tooltip says to spend 1 more point.
  Spell Reflection (currently at L26) gives you that point to select Storm Bolt.

For the Protection tree

• No issue present.

I was initially writing this to let you know that Victory Rush as added by the slider doesn't change to Impending Victory at L46.

All that being said, thank you a ton for creating this guide! As a new tank in WoW the level-by-level guide has been a godsend.

Also for Protection Warrior the slider at L32 adds Avatar which the tooltip says requires a L45 Warrior.

Hello Dru,

Thank you very much for your post.
It seems that the talent calculator above did not follow the suggestions found below, this should be fixed in nearest days.
To the point of Heroic Leap, it is also accessible via Spell Reflection, not only Fast Footwork.

I also fixed the typo with Avatar and replaced Victory Rush with Impending Victory as you pointed out.

Best regards,
Mwahi

Just a shout out to say thank you for the great guide. Best and clearest guide I've found for any class on any site. Kudos.
