Cyrce's Circlet for Protection Warrior

Cyrce's Circlet is a new ring introduced in Patch 11.0.7 that you can acquire by completing several activities on Siren Isle. All the effects of the ring are significantly reduced in PvP, to the point there is no point in considering if it is good, so you will want to skip this piece of equipment.

2.2.

Embellishments

You can craft up to 2 pieces of embellishment gear, that give a minor boost to performance. In general, these power increases are small for Warrior, so they do not matter all that much. You should be looking to craft two rings with Elemental Focusing Lens Icon Elemental Focusing Lens.

2.3.

Note: It is important to wear two PvP trinkets. This will give you a boost to your primary stat and Stamina.

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

Forged Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity Icon Forged Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is the highest sustained damage increase trinket.

Forged Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity Icon Forged Gladiator's Badge of Ferocity gives you Critical Strike and provides a large increase to Strength. Works good when you wish to build for controlled burst.
