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.
Single Target Ability Priority
This is the maximum defense ability priority for Protection Warriors in all situations. It is also the maximum damage priority for single target.
盾牌猛击
(Slammin’ shields is what Warriors do best!)
雷霆一击
复仇
(if free)
毁灭打击
The only major change that you can make in single target to increase your damage is spending Rage on
复仇
instead of
无视苦痛
.
If you are using
烈焰熔炉
, casting it on cooldown is not necessary - just keep at least one charge on cooldown at all times. If you are using
灭绝者
, you can’t cast
毁灭打击
, so it’s not in the rotation.
烈焰熔炉
and
灭绝者
are often used together, so you can easily fill empty GCD's with
烈焰熔炉
.
Dealing Cleave/AoE Damage
The Cleave and AoE priorities are not very different from the standard single-target priority. When pulling in dungeons, delaying your normal priority for a global or two in order to cast
雷霆一击
or
复仇
and establish threat on every mob in the pack is generally worthwhile.
As AoE’s,
雷霆一击
and
复仇
grow more powerful offensively with the number of targets you are facing.
盾牌猛击
deals less damage than
复仇
or
雷霆一击
at 2 targets. It still generates more Rage, which makes it a better defensive option.
AoE Max DPS Ability Priority:
雷霆一击
复仇
盾牌猛击
毁灭打击
This bears repeating:
复仇
is great for maximizing AoE DPS. It's worse than
盾牌猛击
defensively, of course, but Prot Warriors deal great AoE damage, and dealing great AoE damage is an awesome power that you should try to maximize at all times -
JUST DON'T DIE!
Ability Priority During
天神下凡
Important note!
This only applies if you are talented into
无坚不摧之力
, but you always should be. If for whatever reason you aren't using
无坚不摧之力
, disregard this section (or go fix your talents).
The following ability priority is the ideal playstyle for maximizing your defenses and Single Target damage during
天神下凡
:
雷霆一击
盾牌猛击
复仇
(if free or to spend excess Rage)
毁灭打击
This ability priority will maximize your AoE damage, but will sacrifice Rage generation and defenses to do so:
雷霆一击
复仇
盾牌猛击
毁灭打击
Because
雷霆一击
is available every other global cooldown, you should essentially focus on weaving other skills in between it. A normal rotation could look something like this:
雷霆一击
>
盾牌猛击
>
雷霆一击
>
复仇
>
雷霆一击
>
复仇
>
雷霆一击
>
盾牌猛击
With good Parry luck in AoE situations, the rotation can sometimes be as simple as
雷霆一击
>
复仇
> repeat until everything is dead.
Offensive Azerite Essences and Protection Warrior DPS Rotation
烈焰熔炉
is the only offensive, on-GCD Azerite option that really interferes with the existing rotation on a regular basis. It and
灭绝者
are often used together in raids, which frees up a lot of GCD's to use it. How you handle it depends on whether you are at rank 1, 2, or 3, but since rank 3 is basically a gimme at this point in the expansion, it's the only playstyle worth learning.
Using
烈焰熔炉
on cooldown is not necessary - just keep at least one charge on cooldown at all times.
At rank 3, the single target priority is as follows:
烈焰熔炉
(2 charges)
盾牌猛击
雷霆一击
复仇
烈焰熔炉
(1 charge)
毁灭打击
During Avatar:
雷霆一击
烈焰熔炉
(2 charges)
盾牌猛击
复仇
烈焰熔炉
(1 charge)
毁灭打击
Protection Warrior Opener
Unlike damage-dealers, tanks don't generally have strict openers. Basically, the goal of a tank's opener is to establish threat (and dominance!), and get your active mitigation... uhhh... active.
Prot Warriors have a tougher opening salvo by tank standards, but it's still pretty simple. If tanking a single enemy, starting with
嘲讽
will ensure you hold threat for the first 3 seconds and massively increase your threat on the pull - generally the most dangerous time in terms of losing threat.
For the sake of posterity, here is the single-target Prot Warrior opener:
Drink a
无拘之怒药水
before the pull - if you deem it necessary (yes for raid and Mythic+ bosses, maybe not for every trash pull in Mythic+ dungeons)
Cast
拦截
to get into melee range.
Cast
烈焰熔炉
mid-Intercept. Be sure you are targeting the boss! (Using
拦截
first is a good way to ensure this.)
In raids,
嘲讽
mid-Intercept to lock down initial threat if you are tanking the boss first. In Mythic+ dungeons, save
嘲讽
to grab stragglers.
Get
盾牌格挡
active as quickly as you can afford it!
In single target, continue the rotation as normal. This includes using trinkets and getting your offensive cooldowns (
天神下凡
and
挫志怒吼
with
震耳嗓音
) up immediately.
In AoE, cast
雷霆一击
once you are in melee range, try to hit every enemy with it. Use
嘲讽
,
盾牌猛击
, or
复仇
on any enemies you missed or are losing threat on.
Continue the rotation as normal!
When Should You Use Offensive Cooldowns?
天神下凡
and
挫志怒吼
(a good offensive cooldown with
震耳嗓音
) being on-GCD in BFA makes using them consistently on cooldown a bit awkward. If there's an opportunity to hold them briefly for higher damage later (such as a spawning add wave, or an increased damage taken phase), you should. Otherwise, use them immediately upon establishing threat after the pull, and as close to immediately-on-cooldown as possible thereafter.
Stand Behind the Shield - A Prot Warrior Active Mitigation Primer
盾牌格挡
has a base recharge time of 16 seconds, and a base duration of 6 seconds.
The talent
强力反击
can extend the duration of
盾牌格挡
, and Haste reduces its cooldown.
Maintaining
盾牌格挡
whenever you are being actively auto-attacked is the key to reducing your damage intake. More than anything else, using your Rage to keep
盾牌格挡
active at the right times will keep you alive.
无视苦痛
costs exactly 40 Rage and absorbs 50% of damage taken, up to 350% of Attack Power.
无视苦痛
has a cap of 130% of its maximum value, so you should try not to cast it quickly in succession. Unless your shield is getting obliterated immediately, multiple quick casts of
无视苦痛
will probably result in going over the cap and wasting your Rage.
Spending Rage on overcapped
无视苦痛
casts is always better than sitting at 100 Rage due to
愤怒掌控
.
Offensive Cooldowns
天神下凡
is a simple, effective offensive cooldown. It grants 20 Rage and increases your damage by 20%.
If talented into
无坚不摧之力
- which you absolutely should be - it’s also a huge rotation-changer.
雷霆一击
’s cooldown gets cut down by 50%, which makes it usable every other GCD. This will massively increase your damage in AoE, and is still a great damage increase in single target.
震耳嗓音
turns
挫志怒吼
into a 15% damage increase and causes it to generate 40 Rage. Like
天神下凡
, it’s simple but powerful. It doesn’t change your rotation, but it’s good!
Defensive Cooldowns
盾墙
- The King of all defensive cooldowns. All other cooldowns are compared to it. Use it before taking tons of damage to prevent death!
破釜沉舟
- The Queen of defensive cooldowns? Kind of! It provides a massive boost of temporary health to survive unexpected bursts of damage. When combined with the talent
激励
, it provides a massive increase to damage reduction, as well, and allows you to hold off on casting
盾牌格挡
for 15 seconds, while it acts like a built-in
盾牌格挡
. /flex
集结呐喊
- The Prince of defensive cooldowns? Uhhh, why not? This excellent raid cooldown is now available to Prot Warriors, and it’s strong as a personal cooldown or a raid cooldown. Tanks: Some of them have raid cooldowns now!
挫志怒吼
- The… shout of defensive cooldowns. It’s on a relatively-very-short cooldown, and simply reduces your damage taken by 20%. Nothing fancy, but a great first line of defense! When combined with the talent
震耳嗓音
, it becomes a Rage generator and offensive cooldown. Now that is fancy!
法术反射
- Last, and somewhat least - except when it's the best! It reduces spell damage taken by 20% until it reflects a spell. In raids, this usually translates to 20% damage reduction for the full duration, which is very good. In dungeons, this can often just get consumed by a simple spell, and isn’t necessarily a huge cooldown unless well-timed. That being said, some Mythic+ Dungeon boss abilities can be reflected for incredible damage, which is a huge bonus to your damage and defenses.
Utility Skills
狂暴之怒
- Warriors are never scared!
狂暴之怒
gives Warriors a strong advantage against the occasional fear mechanic in raids. It’s rare, but nice when it applies.
破胆怒吼
- Warriors are scary! This will send your enemies running in fear unless you talent into
威吓
. It’s not particularly useful under normal circumstances, but
威吓
can make it a somewhat more useful AoE CC.
震荡波
- Warriors have a weak AoE CC. It is generally more useful as a follow-up stun or a makeshift interrupt than a direct stun since it has such a short duration.
集结呐喊
- A defensive raid cooldown in the hands (mouth) of a tank! It is a valuable defensive cooldown whenever the group is about to take a large burst of damage, and can prevent party members from being killed. It is also useful as a personal defensive cooldown when all of your others are on cooldown. Just be sure not to prematurely use it for yourself if the group needs it!
战斗怒吼
- Warriors grant their party and raid a 10% Attack Power buff. It’s a simple skill that you should only have to buff before combat or after wipes. If a party member dies and is combat rezzed, then you should re-cast it for them, unless they’re a wimpy caster.
Mastery
精通：精确格挡
is the Warrior Mastery. Block works differently in BFA from how it did in previous expansions. In the past, shields granted armor, and blocking simply reduced damage taken by 30%. This meant that a Critical Block would be worth 60% damage reduction. In BFA, Blizzard made shields grant Block, and the damage reduction granted by Block scales with item level.
How does this affect players? Not that much, really. At higher item levels, blocks are worth more than 30% damage reduction, better than in previous expansions! This means that Critical Blocks are usually worth more than 30% damage reduction, too. Basically, item level on shields is more important than secondary stats.
In terms of how Mastery affects your playstyle - it doesn't. It's a good defensive stat, but it's passive, and that's about it. Sorry!
Advanced Prot Warrior Mechanics
Rage generation is what Warriors are all about. Every point of Rage you generate beyond what's needed to maintain
盾牌格挡
can be pumped into
无视苦痛
, providing direct damage reduction, or
复仇
, providing excellent AoE damage. All of your Rage generation also fuels
愤怒掌控
, which synergizes with
震耳嗓音
to provide increasing returns!
Despite the value of Rage generation, maximizing effective
盾牌格挡
uptime is the most important aspect of keeping yourself alive. Correctly timing
盾牌格挡
to prevent as much blockable damage as possible is crucial to playing Prot Warrior successfully.
Along with skillfully managing
盾牌格挡
, making optimal, aggressive use of your strongest defensive cooldowns (
盾墙
&
破釜沉舟
) is the key to maximizing your potential as a high-damage tank with powerful mitigation tools.
Lastly,
法术反射
is an excellent defensive tool that can be used to cheaply mitigate boss attacks in raids and reflect major spell casts at enemies in Mythic+ dungeons.
Rage? RAGE!
Rage is the primary resource for all Warrior specs, and for Protection Warriors, it fuels their defenses. WARRIOR SMASH… to safety!
Protection Warriors have five baseline sources of Rage:
Autoattacks - Each successful auto-attack generates 2 Rage. Simple, effective, boring.
Enemy auto-attacks - Each enemy auto-attack that hits you causes you to generate 3 Rage. Blocked auto-attacks still generate Rage, but hits that you dodge or parry will not. There is a 1-second internal cooldown on this Rage generation, meaning that the maximum amount of Rage you can generate from enemy auto-attacks is 3 Rage per second.
盾牌猛击
- 15 Rage
雷霆一击
- 5 Rage
天神下凡
- 20 Rage
There are only two major variables when it comes to Rage generation, enemy auto-attacks and
盾牌猛击
.
盾牌猛击
usage rates can vary with Haste and RNG, but over the course of time, they tend to even out. This leaves enemy auto-attacks as the biggest variable for Protection Warrior resource management.
Managing Rage as a Protection Warrior is a simple, but important skill to master: You should always try to maintain
盾牌格挡
whenever actively tanking. Whether you are tanking a single enemy or a large group, as long as you are focused on maintaining
盾牌格挡
first and foremost, you are on the right path.
Once you have that covered,
无视苦痛
and
复仇
are your two secondary Rage spenders, and both of them become significantly more usable when tanking in AoE than in single target.
无视苦痛
is defensive (duh!), and is
复仇
offensive (double duh!).
When choosing between the two,
无视苦痛
is the right choice if you’re below full health or facing dangerous enemies.
复仇
is the better option if you’re in no immediate danger. Damage doesn’t care whether it came from the tank or a damage-dealer, and
复仇
is a good source of AoE DPS!
Parrying or dodging enemy auto-attacks makes your next
复仇
free, which means that when tanking in AoE you can have more Rage than you know what to do with! It can be counterintuitive, but you shouldn’t worry about it too much. Just keep maintaining
盾牌格挡
and if you need damage reduction, spend your Rage on
无视苦痛
. If your health pool’s doing fine, just keep tossing out
复仇
in place of
毁灭打击
, but be ready to use
无视苦痛
when you need the damage reduction.
