Gear is one of the most important elements in WoW to strengthen your Protection Warrior, providing massive amounts of stats as well as armor, procs, and set bonuses.
In this guide, we will explain how to obtain the best gear for your Protection Warrior in World of Warcraft: and how to check if a piece is BiS, an upgrade or just bad. This guide will help you select the best pieces of gear from Dungeons and Raids in BFA, whether they be weapons, trinkets, armor,
Azerite Traits
, or
Corruption

About the Author
This guide was written by Llarold! I’ve been tanking since Vanilla. During Mists of Pandaria, I saw an opportunity to begin writing guides, and I took it with the hopes of making myself a better tank and making the community into better tanks with me. I hope it’s working!
I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in
Peak of Serenity
and
Skyhold
(Monk and Warrior). I’m active on
Twitter
, where I mostly talk WoW (and basketball), and I’m half of the team responsible for the YouTube channel
WoW at Night
, which focuses primarily on tank guides and previews.

Corruption Bonuses
Corruption is a replacement to Titanforging, added in Patch 8.3. Corruption bonuses on gear offer beneficial at the expense of receiving negative effects as your Corruption value increases. Some effects are distinctly more "worth it" than others, and here are the best ones!
Passives:
and
are both great all-around options.
provides increased Critical Strike damage and healing, making it a good offensively-oriented option if you have a decent amount of Critical Strike chance.
Procs:
- A simple, valuable Haste Proc.
- Post-buff, this is a great stat trait. Stat traits are weaker than damage proc traits for dealing damage, but offer a little more defensive value. Not bad!
- A strong single-target and AoE damage proc. It has been nerfed from total dominance, but it's still very good.
- By far the highest damage single target corruption, but it loses damage in AoE, so it's for pure single target DPS.
- Adds great single-target damage, but a little unreliable.
- A simple, reliable single-target damage proc.
- Adds excellent AoE damage, but the proc rate is fairly low, making it somewhat unreliable. Excellent in Mythic+.
Guaranteed Corruptions:
In Ny'alotha, Protection Warriors have access to one weapons with a guaranteed Corruption effect.
grants
, an AoE damage proc that activates every 30 GCD's. It's useful in AoE and extremely reliable, but it's not the best option -- not even close. At least it's reliable!
Ny’alotha Trinkets
Defensive Trinkets
Ny’alotha has two defensive trinket options available to Protection Warriors:
provides a modest defensive cooldown -- slightly less than 100k damage at Mythic raid level -- on a one-minute cooldown. That’s usable, but not very impressive on its own, and it pales in comparison to trinkets from the past two raids. As the passive notes, the active ability can potentially scale up to 15% more damage reduction, making its absorb shield worth up to 350k per use at maximum effectiveness. That's a decent defensive cooldown, but it's a best-case scenario and only applies in Ny'alotha, not in Mythic+ dungeons or world content. Bummer.
provides a much more powerful base on-use defensive cooldown than
(roughly 3-4 times stronger), but it also has no passive value. 2 minutes is a relatively long cooldown for a tank trinket. It could be useful for mitigating huge amounts of burst spell damage in some encounters, but this probably won’t be all that popular.
The two best -- and only -- defensive trinkets for Protection Warriors from Ny’alotha are
and
, but you can definitely do better than
with high item level defensive trinkets from Eternal Palace -- or even offensive trinkets.
Offensive Trinkets
Ny’alotha has two trinkets usable as Protection that must be acquired via Arms or Fury loot specialization, and three trinkets available to all specs. There is also an Intellect trinket only available to caster DPS that absolutely obliterates all other trinket options, even for melee dps, hunters, and tanks. Ooooooof.
is an Arms/Fury trinket that has a low damage proc that hits all enemies nearby. It doesn’t do much damage per hit, but it ramps up over time into a decent amount of burst damage, and its proc rate is insanely high. It’s currently the #1 AoE damage trinket in BFA.
is an Arms/Fury trinket with a simple, high damage on-use effect. It does a lot of burst damage, and that’s awesome! Unfortunately, it splits the damage across all targets, so it's better-oriented for single target and cleave than all-out AoE.
is a trinket available to all specs, and it grants a modest amount of Haste and Speed at a very high uptime. Unfortunately, the expected uptime (>50%) isn’t enough to make up for the low stat value, so this trinket is arguably right on par with (or worse than) similar dungeon trinkets. At least it's easy enough to get!
is a trinket available to all specs, and it grants Haste and Haste procs and Haste procs for party members. Haste, Haste, Haste! Haste is good, and this trinket gives it, but the uptime is low (~25%). It’s not great. It’s also part of a set that, when completed, grants Strength procs. That’s neat, but the set bonus isn’t enough to make up for either trinket being undertuned.
is a trinket available to all specs. It grants Versatility and a procced absorb shield that grants Critical Strike rating while active. The Crit buff is large, but because the shield is small, the Crit buff isn’t reliable. Boo! Unfortunately, this trinket isn’t particularly good, either.
The ideal pair of trinkets from Ny’alotha for a Protection Warrior looking to maximize their damage is
and
. They are both really strong direct damage options in their particular niche. Unfortunately, Ny'alotha's stat trinkets aren't all that great. Mythic+ trinkets such as
,
, and
are reasonably competitive options for improving your single target DPS. Eternal Palace trinkets, specifically
and
, are competitive in single target with higher item level Ny’alotha trinkets.
Basically, Mythic Ny'alotha trinkets may not be an upgrade over Mythic Eternal Palace trinkets, but sim yourself to be sure.
with
is also a tremendous source of single target DPS that way outperforms its item level. It remains an incredibly strong single-target DPS option, even in Ny’alotha!
Other Gear
Protection Warrior Trinkets
Item level is immensely important when comparing gear for tanks, but assuming all item levels are equal, here are several trinkets from dungeons and world bosses that stand out as being exceptional. In BFA, damage proc trinkets are powerful on tanks - often moreso than on DPS due to Mastery increasing tanks' Attack Power! If you need the additional defense, a secondary stat or defensive trinket is acceptable, but for most situations, purely offensive trinkets do wonders on tanks.
Name
Source
Zone
Description
Eternal Palace
Razor Coral is still a top-tier trinket for maximizing your damage, and it outperforms most of the trinkets in Ny'alotha.
Eternal Palace
Dribbling Inkpod also remains a top-tier option for maximizing single-target damage, even in Ny'alotha.
Eternal Palace
Bloodthirsty Urchin provides a reliable, potent trickle of healing. It's still a great tank trinket, especially when considered against the less-reliable options in Ny'alotha.
Battle of Dazar'alor
This BoD trinket is the one and only purely defensive trinket on this list. Why? It's (still!) the best-designed defensive trinket in this entire expansion, that's why! Defense is overrated. You will never Shield Block a boss to death, but if you feel undergeared or like you need a little boost to your defenses, this trinket is still a good option.
Battle of Dazar'alor
At its item level, this is the best and simplest DPS trinket for Protection Warriors in the entire game. It deals major sustained damage, especially in AoE (where Protection Warrior shines brightest!). It is understandably outshined by higher item level DPS trinkets from The Eternal Palace, but if you get lucky with a good Titanforge, this trinket may last you until Patch 8.3!
The Underrot
The Mastery is good, and the on-use effect can be combined with your offensive cooldowns to maximize your burst damage. This trinket has emerged as one of the highest-potential options for dealing damage in AoE. Between the on-use's decay and the trinket's lengthy cooldown, maximizing your damage with this trinket can take some planning and consideration. If you're willing to put in the effort, the reward is great, and this trinket is at least a top-3 choice, potentially a top-2.
Atal'dazar
This trinket is extremely simple, but it is perfectly-itemized. It’s a real keeper!
Waycrest Manor
Although Critical Strike is not reliable as a defensive stat, it is very good at reducing damage taken over the course of a fight. It’s also amazing for dealing damage. This trinket provides a bunch of it. It's much simpler to use than
, compensated by slightly lower offensive upside.
Tol Dagor
The potential to buff your party members is nice, but the short duration and long cooldown come up as pretty significant drawbacks. At a base item level of 340, if you buff 4 party members this trinket averages out to provide 64 Versatility for yourself. If you buff 0 party members, it’s worth an average of 91 Versatility. At best, this is an inferior alternative to
. It's not a bad trinket, it's just not as good as the rest of the competition.
Alchemy
Trainer?
Alchemy strikes again! This trinket is decent for Protection Warriors. Versatility is good and Strength is nice. There is nothing bad about this trinket, but Haste would be better.
Inscription
Auction House
The damage and Strength this trinket provides are an excellent starting point for Warriors that are still in the process of gearing up and want a good offensive trinket. Once you start picking up other, higher-level pieces, this will go by the wayside.
Inscription
Auction House
The Strength, armor, and healing this trinket offers are an excellent starting point for Warriors that are still in the process of gearing up and want a decent defensive trinket. Once you start picking up other, higher-level pieces, this will go by the wayside.
Mechagon Gear
Mechagon has several unique pieces of gear that, like Benthic gear, can punch above its weight class. Even better, there is no zone restriction to Mechagon's unique items!
- "This trinket deletes mobs."
Red Punchcard:
- This punchcard is a reward from Rustbolt Resistance - Revered. Cyclotronic Blast deals an absolutely B-A-N-A-N-A-S amount of burst single target damage, making it a top-tier DPS option.
While you cannot increase the item level of the red Cyclotronic Blast punchcard, you can increase the trinket's total item level - and thus the Blast's total damage! - by increasing the item level of the Yellow punchcard in the trinket. Try to get a high item level Yellow Punchcard!
You can customize the secondary stats the trinket provides from Yellow Punchcards, so try to pick up a Haste-based card from bosses in Operation: Mechagon, such as
, or through Junkyard Crafting.
Logic Loops and Bit Bands
Operation: Mechagon features customizable ring sets that work by using a Logic Loop's stated logic to trigger a Bit Band's stated effect.
Since the rings are all Haste-heavy, the itemization is very good for Protection Warriors. The defensive and healing effects are pretty lackluster, but the potential to add a small chunk of stat budget or direct damage is not bad, and can help a pair of rings slightly outperform their item level.
Behold, a table of Logic Loops and Bit Bands!
Conditions (Drops from
)
Effects (Drops from
)
, If you damage an enemy while you are behind them...
, ...then you gain 191 Haste for 15 seconds.
, If you activate an ability while your health is below 50%...
, ...then you absorb the next 20,040 Magic damage within 8 seconds.
, If you use 3 different spells or abilities on the same target...
, ...then you heal up to 5 injured allies for 10590.
, If you heal a target whose health is below 50%...
, ...then you deal 15,643 Nature damage to a nearby enemy.
The strongest offensive combinations are
with
(for AoE) or
(single target). These ring combos can decently outperform their item level, but a couple of regular rings with sockets or significantly higher item levels will probably be a better choice.
Mechagon Azerite Traits
Three pieces of Plate Azerite gear can drop in Mechagon:
Head:
Shoulders:
Chest:
and
both feature
, which is pretty bad. Don't wear it.
drops from King Mechagon, and features the trait
, which is very nice as long as you are wearing
with a Haste Punchcard equipped. Unfortunately, it's competing with
, which is also a must-have trait. Both traits are relatively close in value on paper, but
provides better burst damage. Burst damage is what really matters, so stick with
.
Protection Warrior Azerite Armor
Azerite Armor, unlike other pieces of armor, is incapable of Warforging. This means that drops are, essentially, fixed, and a drop from a Mythic dungeon or raid will be more valuable than a drop from a Heroic dungeon or raid. Because Azerite bonuses scale with the item level of the piece of gear that grants them, item level is almost always the most important factor when choosing which pieces of gear you should wear (also, stats are good). That being said, if two items are of equal item level, you should prefer the one with better traits (duh!).
The best overall Azerite trait for Protection Warriors is
. It provides the most damage reduction and damage output for a single point. After that, it only adds damage (not that there's anything wrong with that!). The immediate runner-up, and a much more valuable trait to stack, is
. The Mastery provides substantial damage reduction and turns the offensive power of
up to 11!
is a decent super-defensive option for high-level Mythic+ pushing. It is passive, and thus a little on the underwhelming side, but it's super-duper safe.
The best pieces of gear with

Engineering Azerite Helm
While professions are somewhat interchangeable, providing unique but generally comparable bonuses, Engineering stands out beyond all of its fun gizmos and gadgets.
is hands-down the best Azerite helm for AoE DPS a Protection Warrior can equip, and it is a very solid defensive piece, as well. In single-target scenarios, it is an above-average option, but not quite the dominant choice it is in AoE.
In addition to
(amazing in AoE) or
(good in single target), the Engineering helms provide easy access to
, an absolutely indispensable Protection Warrior Azerite trait. This all combines to make Engineering an excellent (if expensive) option. Engineering is pretty amazing outside of the helm, too (cool mounts, teleports, mailboxes, Jeeves, Reaves, Blingtron), so if you're interested: go for it!
Corruption for Prot Warrior
Corruption is a new system added in Visions of N'zoth that replaces Titanforging. When a piece of gear corrupts, it gains a beneficial effect, like an increase in stats or damage done, but it also increases your Corruption. Increased levels of Corruption cause negative effects like slow, periodic damage taken, or even reduced healing received.

Corruption Page
, including which Corruption effects to aim for and how much Corruption should you get.

Corruption System Overview
Sources of Gear
There are many ways to gear in Battle for Azeroth, each with their own item level range, although due to Titanforging and Corruption, it is possible for some of those items to become much better than normal, competing or surpassing gear from higher content. With Season 4, the current Titanforging cap is item level
455
, with Corruption being possible to happen in any item from Season 4.
In addition to the occasional weekend quests, reputation vendors, and other semi-unique sources of gear, the common repeatable sources of gear are:

Additionally, Mythic+ dungeons offer their own scaling rewards. Each completion awards gear from that dungeon upon completion, while the weekly cache contains a single item based on the highest keystone completed in the week prior and drawn from a pool of all dungeons. An important note is that Azerite Armor cannot drop from keystones directly, it can only be obtained by spending

Critical strike on a Protection Warrior does more than just increase
Chance for extra effectiveness on attacks and heals.
it also has an effect on your parry chance. Successful parries and dodges reset the cool down on
复仇
. Bonus armor also increases a protection warrior's attack power at a 1:1 ratio on top of helping with physical damage reduction. Multistrike also triggers
which helps with passive health regeneration and securing aggro. While knowing this may not shift the weight in stats I find it helpful to know what my stats are doing instead of just checking them off a list.
