Detailed Protection Warrior Builds

投入战斗 is the best option in the tier unless you are standing alone and tanking a single enemy. Fortunately, this virtually never happens in BFA. If that happens (it shouldn't), 惩罚 is superior.

爆裂闪电 and 腾跃步伐 are competitive talent options, and their value is dependent on movement requirements and the amount of adds in each encounter.

灭绝者 is a superior option for single-target DPS. It lacks the direct defensive synergy of 震耳嗓音, but will generally result in an increased number of 盾牌猛击 procs over a fight, and with some luck it can be a better Rage generator in single target. There is a case to be made that by using 挫志怒吼 only when you need the cooldown rather than on cooldown as an offensive cooldown (WTB thesaurus), 灭绝者 is actually superior defensively in taunt-swap encounters -- but that's debatable.

风暴之锤 is a nice single-target stun that can be used from range. There are generally other classes that can stun better than you in raids, but it's there if you want the extra CC.

There is only one talent to change when swapping between raid DPS and Max Defense setups. Essences will vary more, but have less of an effect on your rotation.

震耳嗓音 is superior to 灭绝者 for large-scale AoE DPS by a modest margin, and it grants a reliable source of Rage generation.

The primary defensive loss from using 灭绝者 is simply that you don't get the 40 Rage from 震耳嗓音, but that is somewhat balanced out by the increased number of 盾牌猛击 procs over the course of a fight.

愤怒掌控 scales even more effectively in dungeons than in raids due to the increased Rage generation from tanking AoE packs, and the occasional short breaks in between packs that allow cooldowns to reset.

投入战斗 is an excellent talent when you can guarantee you will be surrounded by enemies or allies. In dungeons, this is pretty much standard!

爆裂闪电 is not mandatory, but it is extremely useful for making sure 雷霆一击 hits all of your nearby enemies. Dungeons generally don’t have as serious of movement requirements as raids, and 腾跃步伐 is not nearly as valuable as a result.

风暴之锤 provides a second direct stun keybind, which is excellent for locking down enemies in Mythic+ dungeons!

滚石元素 is an acceptable alternative if you're feeling overwhelmed by keybinds (or lazy).

投入战斗 is the go-to choice 99% of the time, but 胜利在望 can be a great option for sustaining your health pool when fighting dangerous solo elites while leveling or world questing. It's not a good talent if you're regularly killing enemies, but if you're struggling against one big, tough monster, it's worth a shot!

震耳嗓音 requires a tiny bit more effort to use than 灭绝者, but comes with the benefits of a significant AoE DPS increase and Rage generation that synergizes with 愤怒掌控. You can switch to 灭绝者 to kill Elite quest mobs if you feel the need, but the value of 震耳嗓音 is better virtually all of the time in world content.

The mobility granted by 腾跃步伐 is really nice while leveling, although the increased AoE range from 爆裂闪电 is also excellent. You really can't go wrong either way.

无坚不摧之力 radically improves AoE damage, and 愤怒掌控 increases cooldown uptime. There’s only one right way to kill mobs: as fast as you can.

Protection Warrior Talent OverviewTier 1 (Level 15) Talents for Protection Warrior

投入战斗 is an excellent talent, and the best option in the tier in most situations. It has a requirement of 5 nearby targets to reach full potency, which is not too hard to achieve since it counts both enemies and allies. It’s great in dungeons and nearly always the best choice in raids. If you are forced to tank a single enemy and stand alone, then it would not be worth taking, but that's a rare situation.

惩罚 is the boring, reliable alternative to 投入战斗. 惩罚 is a strong damage increase to 盾牌猛击 that stacks with 强力反击. You can maintain the damage reduction debuff on two targets with decent reset luck. It’s decent, but 投入战斗 is excellent.

胜利在望 is the worst Warrior talent - outside of soloing elites. It gives you a long-cooldown, low-potency heal that costs 10 Rage. If you score a killing blow, it acts exactly like baseline 乘胜追击 and provides you with a free, on-GCD heal. This talent’s value is limited to extreme edge cases. Note: If leveling as Protection, this can be a really nice option for dealing with difficult Elite quest mobs. That's about the extent of its value.

Tier 2 (Level 30) Talents for Protection Warrior

爆裂闪电 is a simple range increase to 雷霆一击. It’s not special, but it’s useful for making sure you hit every target in AoE. It’s particularly helpful when establishing threat at the beginning of a pull, after an add has just spawned, or while you or the enemy are moving. That makes it fantastic for Mythic+ and decent for raids. It's the only option in this tier that has a direct effect on your DPS, and that makes it a clear winner in nearly all situations.

腾跃步伐 is an awesome mobility increase when you need it. Any time you really need extra mobility, 腾跃步伐 is a good choice. That being said, baseline mobility for Warriors is pretty great, so this is almost never a must-have, and giving up potential DPS to get it is not worth it.

捍卫 turns 拦截 into a decent defensive cooldown for use on allies. This can be helpful in raids to give your co-tank a shoulder to lean on for tank-swap fights. It will require coordination to use effectively, but it’s pretty strong in the right circumstances.

Tier 3 (Level 45) Talents for Protection Warrior

痛宰 is a simple AoE DPS talent. It can provide a decent damage increase in sustained AoE, but it is outclassed in virtually every way by its next-door-neighbor, 无坚不摧之力.

无坚不摧之力 transforms 天神下凡 from a solid, boring DPS cooldown into a solid, awesome DPS cooldown. 雷霆一击 like there’s no tomorrow. Your group’s damage-dealers will hang their heads in shame. It also has really powerful synergy with some of your Azerite traits to improve your overall damage reduction, so it's really the most complete option in this tier - by far!

巨龙怒吼 is a simple, effective AoE damage skill and AoE slow. The value of its slow has occasional applications, and it is a basic AoE DPS cooldown. Unfortunately, it really doesn’t compete with 痛宰 in terms of long-term AoE DPS or 无坚不摧之力 on short-term AoE burst. It’s not a bad design, but the tuning is not good enough to make it competitive for DPS.

Tier 4 (Level 60) Talents for Protection Warrior

百折不挠 is the simplest talent ever: +10% health. It’s good and it makes you much more resilient against spell damage and burst damage. It’s a good talent for beginners and experienced players alike, but it lacks the value of its neighbor, 激励.

绝不屈服 grants 无视苦痛 up to 100% increased absorb value, based on missing health. This implies that 无视苦痛 could be a useful low-health lifeline, but that isn't really the case. Skilled players will make better use of 激励, and beginners will prefer 百折不挠. Sorry.

激励 is the bee’s knees. It takes a useful defensive cooldown, mutates it into Godzilla, and makes it more available. Hate dying? Like living? 破釜沉舟 with 激励 will make you (almost) unable to die.

Tier 5 (Level 75) Talents for Protection Warrior

威吓 transforms 破胆怒吼 from a usable, but potentially dangerous CC into a humongous AoE CC that lasts for an eternity - or until it breaks from damage. It could theoretically be the strongest option in the tier when it works out right, but the ability to break on damage and the long cooldown on 破胆怒吼 are huge strikes against it. It’s the least reliable option in the tier, and CC is all about reliability. Yikes!

滚石元素 is simple and effective. CC more often when you CC large groups. 震荡波 isn’t a great CC by any stretch - it’s only 2 seconds! - but it’s a reliable interrupt. This talent is likely to be the go-to option for most Protection Warriors not because it is good, but because it is easy.

风暴之锤 is a decent single-target stun. Plenty of other classes can stun a single mob for longer, but it gives a Protection Warriors two different stun keybinds and has a 30-yard range. That's pretty good, and it’s a good option for the high-caliber player looking to maximize the CC capabilities of Protection Warrior.

Tier 6 (Level 90) Talents for Protection Warrior

震耳嗓音 is the only direct Rage generation talent in the tier, making it the best Rage generator by default! Woohoo! It also adds a nice boost of offensive and defensive value onto 挫志怒吼. This talent is great!

报复 is inferior to its competitors, and unlike both of the other options in this tier, it provides no synergy with 愤怒掌控. 无视苦痛 and 复仇 reduce the other’s cost. That's it, and it's not good. Thank you, next.

灭绝者 essentially causes autoattacks to also cast 毁灭打击, with only a 20% chance to trigger 盾牌猛击 resets. It is the strongest choice for maximizing single target DPS in raids and the Rage from extra 盾牌猛击 casts is excellent, but it is noticeably weaker than 震耳嗓音 in AoE and Mythic+.

Tier 7 (Level 100) Talents for Protection Warrior

愤怒掌控 is an exceptional talent that has tied the Protection Warrior spec together for multiple expansions now, and that's not changing! Its synergy with other excellent talents in the tree like 震耳嗓音, 激励, 无坚不摧之力, and 投入战斗 is too good to pass up. What a great talent!

强力反击 is a good defensive talent, but not quite competitive in most circumstances. 盾牌格挡 is an amazing damage reduction skill, and extending its duration can provide a ton of free damage reduction. The damage increase component is also quite formidable, and synergizes with 惩罚 nicely. Silver medal!

破坏者 has been a dead talent for Protection Warriors for a long time now. Pour one out for General Nazgrim, he was a good soldier. Then shovel some dirt onto 破坏者’s corpse, it deserves an honorable burial, even if Blizzard won’t provide one.

War Mode for Prot WarriorWar Mode

巨龙冲锋 is a nice mobility skill that also CC’s and deals a very sizeable chunk of burst damage on a short cooldown. It’s pretty cool, and using it to knock enemies around is equal parts fun and hilarious. Scrapping outside an instance? Throw those pesky scumbags through the portal!

士气重挫 reduces the cooldown of 挫志怒吼 to 30 seconds. Given the nice synergy with 震耳嗓音 and 愤怒掌控, this is a very nice talent, and the potential value in reducing damage dealt to your allies is also solid!

盾击 deals damage very similar to 盾牌猛击. It also reduces your target’s damage by 15%, and if they are casting (this includes cast-time physical spells, such Aimed Shot!), it will instantly reset its cooldown. The 3 Rage is a small gain, but it's still a good talent in terms of overall value. It's a good offensive and defensive skill.

剑盾猛攻 is a simple, effective damage increase that greatly increases the Crit chance of 盾牌猛击 and 毁灭打击 while 盾牌格挡 is active. It synergizes well and will buff your damage - big time.

The lvl 100 talent choices here are just flat out misleading.
"Gladiator's Resolve should only be used if you're not tanking." What? How about the +5% defensive buff it gives? The best flat pre-mechanic survival buff of the tier!
This guide is shoddy at best, and noxxic levels of wrong at worst.

Guides are usually boring as hell. This one was entertaining. In my best Sam Elliot voice, "I like your style, Dude."

Why would anyone use 威吓 on raid. taking 腾跃步伐 would much be better option for mobilty. Using 威吓 and waiting the adds fear is just a waste of hope you would waste on a talent. And if there is a cleave go for 爆裂闪电 would be much easy to do more dps.
