Covenants
Covenants are a key part of the Shadowlands expansion. Selecting a Covenant gives you access to exclusive abilities - one that is Covenant-wide, and one that is specific to your class. You will also be given a choice of Soulbinds to enhance your power. For more information on Covenants, click here.
Soulbinds
Soulbinding is a new progression system that allows you to bind yourself to a significant member of your Covenant and share some of their power. Each Covenant has three potential Soulbind options with unique bonuses which can be powered up through a Soulbind tree. As you gain Renown with your Covenant, more rows of your Soulbind tree will be unlocked. Conduits add further possibility for customization, filling empty sockets with one of three bonus types. For more information on Soulbinds, click here.
Conduits
Conduits are available in three types; Potency, Endurance, and Finesse. Potency Conduits increase your spell power, Endurance Conduits provide additional defense, and Finesse Conduits provide you with additional utility. Some Conduits are the same across classes but some are specific to your class. For more information on Conduits, click here.
Best Covenant for Protection Warrior in PvP
In order, the best covenant for Protection Warriors will be based on prioritization in PvP as your main focus. Whilst their are 2 tied Covenants at the top, you can still play the other Covenants if you want to. Prot Warrior isn't competitive at the moment, so if you want to play Prot for fun then you can have fun with any covenant of your choice!
Kyrian + Necrolord
Night Fae
Venthyr
Kyrian offers quite a bit of versatility and pressure. It can also be used for more peeling benefits, making it quite powerful against certain classes. With the new double legendary system, having access to
极乐伟力
will be incredibly powerful. This can help with your offensive setups and pressure itself, making it one, if not the best covenant choice for a Protection Warrior.
Necrolord will be a stronger choice when pairing with a partner that can benefit from
征服者战旗
significantly. The new double legendary system will also favour this covenant, having
荣耀
to make
征服者战旗
last much longer, which in effect will increase the power of this covenant. It may need experimenting with the right DPS class to make good use out of this covenant, but from what I can see it should be noticeably good with powerful melee DPS players that can crush enemies by themselves, such as Retribution Paladins or Windwalker Monks.
Night Fae can still be a decent choice with its burst pressure, however since a Protection Warrior's damage is low overall, it can be quite easy to live through this pressure as you have nothing else to really solidify your offensive setups. It has good synergy with
天神下凡
though, being able to use them at the same time, which can make it quite potent with the new tier set bonus as well.
Venthyr has gone from dealing better single target damage to being lacklustre in that regard, making it the most unappealing covenant choice at the moment. The double legendary doesn't look potent enough to make it useful, especially considering how much stronger it makes Kyrian or Necrolord.
TLDR:
Kyrian is the best for solo/safety pick.
Necrolord is the best with a DPS partner that can benefit greatly from
征服者战旗
.
Venthyr and Night Fae are much weaker choices in comparison.
Changing Covenants - Factors to Consider
When it comes to competitive PvP, the only Covenants you'll consider swapping to will be between Kyrian or Necrolord. I would favour Necrolord overall if I was playing a composition where my DPS partner could slay everyone, considering you would probably need that if you want Protection Warrior compositions to be viable anyway.
As for Venthyr and Night Fae, these are purely lacklustre and are not worth choosing unless you have other alternate reasons to play it, such as for personal enjoyment or PvE reasons.
Conduits
Generally speaking, as a Protection Warrior, your best tree will try to involve
3x Endurance conduits or 3x Finesse conduits
, due to 3x Potency conduits being less favourable. Certain trees may go down a different road due to the power of other conduits in that tree, which is fine considering sometimes the Soulbinds are more powerful than the conduits themselves needed. Since you can change the trees in the arena, it's important to have the conduits where I suggest putting them, so that you can change your tree routes in the arena games for a slight advantage depending on the matchups. I'll dive into this more with each tree that I think will be worth doing depending on the situation in your arena games!
Best Potency Conduits
毁灭回响
(if Night Fae) - A Mandatory conduit for those that run Night Fae, helping you deal much stronger burst damage, especially with Prot since it can be paired with
天神下凡
.
穿刺之裁
(if Kyrian) - Another strong conduit that can be nice every minute to have more pressure during offensive setups when using this ability.
老兵的声誉
(if Necrolord) - Gives extra strength, being decent when popping your cooldowns and looking for kills.
灰烬主宰
(if Venthyr) - Whilst it's not too strong for Protection Warriors overall, it's still a nice DPS boost to have which can help with the single target pressure.
适应性护甲碎片
- Bolsters your pressure a little bit, being a decent second choice potency conduit, depending on your soulbind tree selection.
力量的展示
- This is your only other choice with potency conduits, being quite weak in general. As you can see, the overall potency conduit least is weak overall for a Protection Warrior, having no favorable ones compared to Endurance or Finesse conduits.
Best Finesse Conduits
捍卫
- The best and most reliable finesse conduit, being able to reduce damage taken on your partners fairly often, making it an excellent one to have in all arena situations.
不得安宁
- Having a reduced cooldown on
震荡波
can be a welcome sight against melee cleaves or pet-oriented comps, being able to make use out of this ability more often!
英姿勃发
- A decent second choice that can be used for certain trees, bolstering your
集结呐喊
, which will most likely have at least 1 or more uses in arena matches, for your or your teammates.
震耳低吼
- Not always a great choice, but it can be quite nice if needing a third finesse slot, which could be an alternative preference over
英姿勃发
.
Best Endurance Conduits
野蛮活力
- This conduit is much stronger with a Protection Warrior compared to the other 2 specialization due to it not having a cooldown. This will increase in uptime, as well as always having a use due to
援护
or
护卫
usages, forcing damage upon you, making this conduit always useful.
浓缩的心能之球
- Now that this does quite a moderate amount of healing, given the fact that it is based on how much HP you have, this is probably the second best endurance conduit for Prot Warriors. It gives an extra boost in self healing for free, being able to proc this quite easily due to the nature of Prot Warriors in arena.
坚韧守卫
- Whilst this one is weaker for Prot in comparison to the other 2 specs, it still remains a solid one. It will also have increased synergy when playing with
愤怒掌控
making it more likely to have additional
盾墙
usages, in case you need them.
Playing as a Kyrian Protection Warrior in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
召唤执事者
静谧之瓶
is pretty much an improved version of having a
治疗石
. It increases with strength as a Protection Warrior, given that it heals for more depending on the HP you have!
One hindrance about this ability is that even though it has 3 stacks, you won't access the later ones unless you leave combat. If you do somehow manage to leave combat after using 1 Phial, then it will be on a
3 minute cooldown
until you can use a second stack. That being said, having one of these is nice to have throughout an arena game.
Class Covenant Ability -
晋升堡垒之矛
晋升堡垒之矛
is a powerful ability, forcing enemy targets to stay in your range, allowing you to crush your chosen targets with ease. It can also be used as a defensive measure, stopping enemy targets from reaching your partners, allowing your partners to kite them!
极乐伟力
also increases the power of this Covenant ability by a ton, making it mandatory to take and it will be easier to maintain this legendary when you have access to double legendary powers! It's a highly versatile spell that, typically used offensively, that can work well in 2v2 or 3v3 games!
A big part of making use out of it is that you'll have to land it well. It being a skill-shot means that you may have to have a bit of practice using it well, but once you master it then you will reap the benefits from it!
Factors to Consider
Kyrian abilities are excellent by themselves, meaning you don't need to alter any talents, gear, etc. to use this covenant sufficiently. You should however bare in mind when you want to burst, adding
晋升堡垒之矛
to the fray means you could use it just after popping
灭战者
on your desired target(s), to increase the damage your Spear does.
晋升堡垒之矛
is excellent with other melee players, typically using it when both of you can burst a target down, allowing you and your melee partner to slay someone every minute! This is especially good in a composition like TSG, with a Frost Death Knight, that can deal absurd AoE damage, being able to
死亡之握
targets into a
致盲冰雨
, allowing you to easily land
晋升堡垒之矛
on 2 targets and deal and absurd amount of 2 target pressure!
One big downside to
晋升堡垒之矛
is that quite a number of abilities from certain classes can allow them to escape the spear, avoiding your melee range and the pressure from the spear itself. Here are the spells to be wary of, so that you can look to be more cautious with your spear on these classes/specializations.
A Paladin's
保护祝福
and
圣盾术
恶魔传送门
usages against any Warlock team
Demon Hunters can use
从天而降
or
恶魔变形
死亡脚步
and
反魔法护罩
from Death Knights
from Holy or Shadow Priests, as well as Holy being able to use
神圣晋升
假死
(with
示弱战术
) from any Hunters (being popular with Beast Mastery or Survival variants)
As such, you should be careful with using the Spear on classes with access to these spells, either waiting to use them or simply using them to bait out these defensive cooldowns. It also has diminishing effects with other knock effects, such as
乌索尔旋风
.
Pelagos is a decent choice due to
战斗冥想
and
崭新决心
both being powerful soulbinds for increased pressure. Picking up
耐心之瓶
could is excellent against compositions that burst you down, making your Phial much more effective.
放下过去
is a nice extra bonus to have, considering Magic damage is what Prot Warriors are prone to. Even though Pelagos is strong, I believe that the other soulbinds are just stronger, meaning Pelagos is hardly played.
1st + 2nd Row:
Here I would stick with the Endurance route, being far better than any other route here.
耐心之瓶
is super solid, increasing the potency of your Phial by a ton! You can also pick up an early
捍卫
being the best finesse conduit to have.
试炼之路
and
集中咒语
are both useless in the arena. Since you don't favour Potency Conduits as a Prot Warrior, you aren't forced into picking up these bad soulbinds for them!
Renown 7:
Putting
野蛮活力
here will be your best choice, considering its your best endurance slot conduit.
Renown 10:
This row is completely optional, so choose whichever one you like the most!
Renown 21:
Now you can slot in your
穿刺之裁
here, allowing you to change your 1st and 2nd row to pickup
耐心之瓶
, being a much more effective route.
Renown 25:
This route is optional, although the Endurance conduit slot will probably be used much more often, since
浓缩的心能之球
provides a solid amount of extra healing.
英姿勃发
could be used in the finesse slot, used if you really need extra team defensiveness but I would rarely ever use it.
Renown: 43:
Here you can slot in
适应性护甲碎片
to bolster your damage a bit.
Renown 46 + 51:
Both these routes are viable. The finesse route gives you
虔敬者之路
, being a solid soulbind for yourself, mainly great for the movement speed effect. It will also allow you to pickup
不得安宁
being a nice addition.
If finding yourself not needing the damage reduction or mobility, then you could pickup
强强联手
for extra stats between you and your partner(s). Then having
坚韧守卫
in the endurance slot here. I would pick this route most of the time, going over to the finesse route only if I really wanted the damage reduction.
Kleia is a solid pick, especially against Assasination Rogues or Feral Druids mainly due to
晋升之瓶
.
骁勇打击
and
照亮道路
can be a nice addition for extra damage, helping a tiny bit with more burst pressure. Since this is an endurance conduit heavy tree, I think you can utilize it more so as a Protection Warrior, so you should want to choose this covenant every time if you want to try and hinder a Assasination Rogues or Feral Druids damage!
1st + 2nd Row:
The whole point of choosing Kleia is to utilize
晋升之瓶
, so as such you should always go this route. That means you can easily slot in
野蛮活力
here, being your best endurance conduit.
师徒一心
is a decent team defensive boost but you can should never use this route, given the reason above.
Renown 9:
Putting
捍卫
here as it's your best finesse conduit.
Renown 13:
净化仪式
will be your best choice here as it can be used at the start of games, potentially being useful later on too.
Renown 18:
Having
浓缩的心能之球
here will be your best choice.
Renown 28 + 34:
I'd say both the potency and endurance conduit routes are both viable. The endurance route is a nice way to gain
坚韧守卫
, as well as picking up
勇气外露
being a solid DPS gain in 3v3 games, increasing its bonus when playing with another melee.
The potency route isn't that great, as
载魂者的追击
is a very weak soulbind. It could be worth the potency slot if you want a bit more pressure, gaining
适应性护甲碎片
.
The finesse route gives you
共鸣赞誉
which is weak compared to the other choices. A finesse slot is also unfavourable here, due to using other finesse conduits in this tree.
Renown 42:
Now you can slot
穿刺之裁
in here.
Renown 45 + 49:
You will go the finesse route 100% of the time, due to
希望永存
being much more useful. It works with
晋升之瓶
allowing you to use your Phial for your partners as well, increasing in power by a ton! Having another finesse slot is also better than a 4th endurance conduit, putting
不得安宁
here.
执政官之矛
can be a decent DPS boost, but it will never outweigh the use of
希望永存
in this soulbind tree, as well as forcing you to gain a 4th endurance conduit, which is super underwhelming.
Mikanikos will be excellent against burst heavy teams that are looking to take you down. This is due to
闪亮的流波之球核心
being extremely valuable during stun setups on yourself, being a huge life-saving mechanic.
行动的召唤:布隆
hardly does really add too much DPS in the arena but the knock can sometimes be useful, as well as mainly being useful for keeping enemy players in combat.
溢流心能加速器
is super powerful in the arena, reducing the cooldown of your main covenant ability which will be huge for offensive setups.
1st + 2nd Row:
Going the endurance route will be your best choice here, getting
野蛮活力
early on. You'll also gain
充能添加剂
which isn't really powerful but the main reason is that you want the endurance conduit over the potency conduit.
掌炉大师的滤网
can be a double-edged sword, being good if it procs whilst you're dying, but it can be bad if it procs when you know you won't die, or if it procs into
控心术
which can kill you.
3rd Row:
Putting
捍卫
here will be your best choice.
4th Row:
Whilst this choice is optional,
强韧之羽
could be slightly useful in some arena maps.
5th Row:
Having
浓缩的心能之球
here will also be your best choice for your endurance conduit.
Renown 29 + 31:
Only the finesse or potency conduit route should be taken, depending on what you're facing. The potency route won't be taken unless you want to utilize
灵钢之钳
which can be very powerful to have in the opening games against certain teams.
适应性护甲碎片
could be used in the potency slot here.
The endurance route gives you
源生重槌
which is incredibly underwhelming considering the other options give you powerful soulbinds, making this route unwanted.
闪亮的流波之球核心
is usually the best choice, giving you that life-saving mechanic which will be useful into teams that try to take you down. You should use
不得安宁
in the finesse conduit too.
Renown 41:
Now you can put
穿刺之裁
in here.
Renown 48 + 53:
The endurance route is by far the best here.
灵魂光谱仪
is a nice extra boost to damage throughout an arena game, allowing you to pickup an endurance conduit as well, giving you
坚韧守卫
.
反应式改造
is heavily nerfed in the arena, making it too weak to pickup on, thus making this route too unattractive to ever take.
Playing as a Necrolord Protection Warrior in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
血肉铸造
This bonus of a shield is powerful considering it's based on HP%, which is extremely high for a Protection Warrior, increasing your survivability by a ton! It can be nice to use at the start of games if you want the extra absorption to deal with pressure at the start of games. It could also be used to simply bait out interrupts from players, allowing your partners to cast damage or healing abilities.
Class Covenant Ability -
征服者战旗
征服者战旗
is a powerful offensive cooldown, used for offensive setups to slay your opponents! This is the bread and butter of this covenant, which you'll want to pair with your DPS partners offensive cooldowns in order to maximize this ability! Prot Warriors don't really deal big damage themselves, so I wouldn't use this for my own damage as a Prot Warrior.
Factors to Consider
Having
荣耀
as the double legendary allows you to prolong your
征服者战旗
and help create even more pressure over time. You'll ideally be playing with a class that can do big damage during this banner usage, so helping them connect their damage would be advised!
Marileth is a decent soulbind tree but it's not great for Protection Warriors as it consists of using many potency conduit routes.
终极形态
is a powerful soulbind, giving you CC immunity and making
血肉铸造
much more powerful to use. If timed well you could negate instant CC on yourself, making it strong in itself!
凯文的小软泥怪
is also strong, helping you during your most potent offensive setups!
1st + 2nd Row:
Unconventionally, you should go the Finesse route here, in order to lose out on picking 3 potency conduits overall.
烦烦的先发制人
is actually quite powerful but it doesn't work too well consistently in the arena. It does allow you to pick up
捍卫
though, being an excellent conduit to have.
乌兹的和谐覆层
is usually the best pick for most other specs, but it leads to a 3rd potency conduit overall, which isn't wanted as a Prot Warrior.
与吵吵一起旅行
is relatively useless compared to the other soulbinds, making this choice a no-go.
Renown 9:
Having
野蛮活力
here will be your best choice.
Renown 10:
This row is completely optional, so pick whichever one is best for you.
Renown 21:
Now you can put
老兵的声誉
here.
Renown 25:
Having 2 different conduits can be mean optional routes, although endurance will usually be your biggest strength here, allowing you to gain
浓缩的心能之球
.
不得安宁
can be used in the finesse slot, which could be picked if you aren't worried about dying in your current matchup.
Renown 43:
When you reach this renown you should put
适应性护甲碎片
in here.
Renown 46 + 51:
Both routes are fine here, with a preference to the endurance route most of the time.
黏性踪迹
is a nice extra peel effect, useful against enemy melees. You'll also gain
坚韧守卫
which makes the endurance route slightly better overall.
The finesse route is more useful just for another finesse slot, in case you need
英姿勃发
.
起伏机动
is quite lacklustre overall, but it can break CC, making it useful into certain compositions.
The main use of being Emeni is only for having
硫磺喷发
against enemy melee, which will probably not be a problem Prot Warriors have in the arena. That being said,
身先士卒
is a nice way to strengthen your offensive setups with Banner, being a nice soulbind to have.
脓疮迸裂
could be decent to have which could be utlized often as a Prot, but it may not be powerful enough to warrant the use of Emeni.
1st + 2nd Row:
Both routes can be nice here. The potency route is a good choice to pick up
适应性护甲碎片
early on.
艾米妮的优美之皮
is also quite nice, gaining even more HP to make you even tankier.
艾米妮的可行动躯体
can make it easier to use Fleshcraft, being able to potentially avoid interrupts with it. It also allows you to gain an endurance conduit, which should contain
坚韧守卫
.
Renown 7:
捍卫
will be the best finesse conduit to put here.
Renown 13:
This row can be optional, although
柔韧腿部
could have its use in certain arenas, making it a stronger choice.
Renown 18:
Here you should put
野蛮活力
in this slot, being your best endurance conduit.
Renown 28 + 34:
Whilst you have 3 options, the only 1 route that's worth picking is the finesse, seeing as the whole point of being Emeni is to pickup
硫磺喷发
against melee cleaves, in order to diffuse their big burst damage windows on you. Slotting
不得安宁
in the finesse slot will also be wise at this point.
啮咬咀嚼者
is also pretty much useless in arena games, as well as
软骨脚趾
being extremely weak.
Renown 42:
Putting
老兵的声誉
in here will be your best course of action.
Renown 45 + 49:
Both routes in these rows can be quite nice but most of the time you'll go the endurance route.
弹性缝合
can against magic damage enemies but it's heavily nerfed in the arena. You'll also gain
英姿勃发
as your 3rd finesse conduit, which isn't always too great.
独心蜕皮
can be useful during your banner setups, which can be quite powerful. The strength lies in mainly gaining an endurance conduit, which allows you to have
浓缩的心能之球
.
Heirmir is the best overall choice for a Protection Warrior as it's an endurance conduit favouring build, being ideal for Protection Warriors. Both
锯齿护肩
and
海尔米尔的军械库:髓噬宝石
are excellent choices to increase your DPS, which is a nice bonus for Prot Warriors. Extra armor and strength from
炉脉幻想
is a great benefit for a Prot Warriors damage plus survival.
记忆装备
seems a bit lacklustre compared to other soulbinds, but overall can help a bit during Execute phases.
1st + 2nd Row:
Going the endurance conduit route will be your best choice here, getting an early
野蛮活力
is a welcome sight, but more importantly, picking up
锯齿护肩
is excellent for more pressure.
3rd Row:
You should put
捍卫
here, being your best overall finesse conduit.
4th Row:
This row is optional, but
符文熔铸之刺
could be slightly beneficial in arenas.
5th Row:
Putting
浓缩的心能之球
will be great as your 2nd endurance conduit slot.
Renown 29 + 31:
I'd say the endurance route is the best choice here. You can gain a 3rd endurance conduit, allowing you to have
坚韧守卫
as well as
海尔米尔的军械库:髓噬宝石
being quite a big boost of DPS.
Going the potency route would allow you to gain
适应性护甲碎片
but
海尔米尔的军械库:伤口践踏者
is useless.
海尔米尔的军械库:贪婪垂饰
is an even worse choice, being negligible in any arena match.
Renown 41:
Now you can put
老兵的声誉
in here.
Renown 48 + 53:
Here I'd say both routes are viable.
唤醒白骨胸甲
can be nice if able to make it reliably useful. It allows you to have
不得安宁
as well, being a decent finesse conduit.
切肉者之眼
is seriously nice for extra stats, which could proc often given the nature of Protection Warrior damage in arena. That being said, you'd pickup a 4th endurance conduit, being
破敌专注
, which isn't that great. I'd still most likely go this route for the extra damage.
Playing as a Night Fae Protection Warrior in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
灵魂变形
灵魂变形
is a nice addition to a Protection Warrior's mobility, giving you an added mobility cooldown to kite targets or catchup to them! This will most likely be used for chasing down elusive targets, making healer race-zerg matchups more favorable for you against a non-Night Fae Warrior.
Class Covenant Ability -
上古余震
This ability itself can do a lot of damage, whilst the knocking effect be extremely potent in PvP situations. The problem is, keeping them in the spells range will be incredibly difficult, making it a lackluster covenant ability in PvP. The initial damage of it though can be enough to cause panic, forcing defensive cooldowns. This should probably always be used with
天神下凡
in order to maximize it's burst damage.
Factors to Consider
Whilst this won't change any rotation or talents yourself, it could be best to be paired with a partner, such as a Druid , so you could pair your
上古余震
with
乌索尔旋风
, making your covenant ability more powerful. You should probably look to time this not only with your own offensive cooldowns, but with your partners one too in order to try burst down people rapidly!
Niya has a pretty good soulbind tree overall.
林地复兴
can be a welcome sight to further increase your HP, making it difficult for you to die with this buff up.
联结之心
could also be a decent way of having a bit more healing and pressure, considering the healing should be more powerful due to having such high stamina.
1st + 2nd Row:
Going the potency route will be favourable, gaining an early
毁灭回响
.
不休不疲
is also quite powerful, being HP% healing, which is more beneficial for protection warriors as you have higher HP's in general.
Even though an endurance conduit is nice,
保持移动
is pretty weak, making the other choice stronger all the time.
Renown 7:
Putting
捍卫
in here will be your best choice.
Renown 10:
This row is completely optional, being up to your own personal preference.
Renown 18:
Here, you should put
野蛮活力
in this slot, being your best endurance conduit.
Renown 25 + 30:
The best route for you to take is the endurance one here, gaining
浓缩的心能之球
in the endurance slot and picking up
尼娅的工具:锉刀
, providing an excellent amount of extra DPS.
Going for the potency route provides you with
适应性护甲碎片
and
尼娅的工具:毒药
which are good DPS gains but having the extra potency conduit is too much in this tree overall.
尼娅的工具:草药
is much worse, making this route not worth going ever.
Renown 43:
Put
适应性护甲碎片
in here.
Renown 46 + 51:
Both routes can be used here, although the finesse route will probably be used more often.
幸存者集结
is a strong soulbind, being useful if you take or intervene big pressure. Gaining
不得安宁
from the finesse slot is also very welcome.
If unable to proc
幸存者集结
, then
精确射击
could be slightly better, increasing your mobility. It also allows you to have
坚韧守卫
.
Dreamweaver is the best tree to use, due to picking up
延缓之声
, which can proc from thunderclap root effects, being an incredible peeling deterrent to any player.
灵茧守护者
is also a nice life-saving ability as well, however on a 10 minute cooldown, it will most likely only be useful once, if at all.
繁华原野
could be massively beneficial but may not be used all the time due to the nature of arena games.
梦境探索者
is a nice extra bonus to a bit of extra pressure.
1st Row:
Going the endurance route will be your best course, picking up an early
浓缩的心能之球
. You could put
捍卫
in the finesse slot in the mean time, in case you want to have better peels instead.
2nd Row:
Gaining an early
毁灭回响
is very nice to have for more pressure during your most devastating ability.
Renown 9 + 13:
You have 2 viable options here but the potency route is more favorable, as you gain
延缓之声
being hugely beneficial. It will also allow you to gain
力量的展示
being an okay damage increase.
The endurance route could also be nice, as having
蝴蝶效应
could be an excellent addition to gain more Versatility. It also allows you to pickup another endurance conduit, having
坚韧守卫
. I'd only go this route if I wanted more Versatility.
The finesse route will never be picked, due to
灵茧之力
being inferior to the other 2 soulbinds.
Renown 21:
Now you can put
浓缩的心能之球
in here.
Renown 29:
An optional choice, although
妖精之尘
could be slightly useful in certain arena maps.
Renown 42:
Here you can put
适应性护甲碎片
in this slot.
Renown 45 + 49:
The best choice here will always be your finesse slot, allowing you to gain
捍卫
here. More importantly, you gain
梦境初醒
being a decent defensive soulbind.
Whilst another endurance slot would usually be better,
狡诈之梦
is significantly weaker as a soulbind option, making it unwanted.
Korayn appears to be the weakest tree choice, not being wanted in any situations compared to the other 2 soulbinds.
荒猎团战术
is great for initial pressure, especially if you use Aftershock whilst they're high on health!
狂野狩猎策略
helps bolster this pressure, having good synergy with Warriors in general.
1st + 2nd Row:
The potency route will be your most favorable route, gaining an early
毁灭回响
being critical for your burst pressure.
荒猎号角
could also help with your mobility at times, making it easier to kite or get to targets.
荒猎冲锋
is quite a weak choice, considering it will be hard to get out of combat in 3v3 games.
3rd Row:
Here you should put
捍卫
in this slot, being your best finesse conduit to have.
4th Row:
Whilst this row is optional,
列入阵型
could be slightly better in arena games.
5th Row:
This will be an easy choice, putting
浓缩的心能之球
here, being your best endurance conduit.
Renown 28 + 31:
I'd say you'll probably only be the potency route here, due to
勇面敌人
being a far stronger soulbind choice in comparison to the others on this row. You also gain a second potency conduit, allowing you to have
适应性护甲碎片
here.
Renown 41:
Now you can put
毁灭回响
here, allowing you to change your 1st row potency conduit with
力量的展示
in case you ever want to swap it.
Renown 48 + 53:
Either choice here is viable, but having
沃卡伊伏击
will be more beneficial overall, provided you can interrupt a target, i.e. playing against a caster. It will allow you to pickup
坚韧守卫
, swapping the 1st row endurance conduit with
野蛮活力
. If unable to interrupt targets often, then
狩猎刺激
could be used, although it won't be too effective for Prot Warriors considering how little damage you do. You could also use this route to pickup
英姿勃发
in case you need more defensives for your team.
Playing as a Venthyr Protection Warrior in PvP
Signature Covenant Ability -
暗影之门
Having extra mobility is always a welcome sight, even if it's a long cooldown. Being able to bait interrupts with it could also be quite useful in PvP, especially if you're playing with a caster or a healer that's desperate to get casts off.
Class Covenant Ability -
判罪
Having extra damage in the form of Magic pressure was an excellent addition to Warriors in PvP but now with the buff to
斩杀
,
判罪
isn't as powerful as it once was. It's now much more lacklustre in single target, making Venthyr hardly worth using over any of the other covenants.
That being said, it is the simplest to use, simply replacing Execute with Condemn which can be more alt friendly for those that prefer a more simple gameplay.
Factors to Consider
With the nerfs to
穷追猛打
when you choose
判罪
, there won't be any significant factors to consider in terms of legendary powers. That being said,
屠杀
will most likely become a staple talent, taking it all the time when playing Venthyr. You could also look to take
死亡裁决
for increased mobility, since it works well with
判罪
when targets are at high HP!
致命缺陷
can strengthen your damage as well, being a very strong proc to have.
Nadija will be an excellent choice, being able to have good soulbinds + conduits throughout.
无畏决斗者
can be nice to increase your single target pressure, but you will have to take care of it, as it won't change targets if you stay in combat! The proc rate of
兴奋追猎者
is quite rare, but it is powerful, being a nice addition to dealing more pressure.
1st + 2nd Row:
Here you should go with the Endurance route.
混沌代理人
is a nice addition to add to your peeling but throughout the tree, you don't want this as it will mean having a 3rd potency slot, being less attractive compared to the other route.
眩目步法
isn't as strong but it allows you to get an endurance conduit, picking up
坚韧守卫
.
Renown 7:
Having
捍卫
here will be your best choice, being your best finesse conduit.
Renown 21:
Putting
野蛮活力
here as it is your best endurance conduit.
Renown 25 + 30:
There are 2 viable routes here, going the potency or the finesse route, depending on what you need more. Going with the potency route gives you
适应性护甲碎片
, being a decent DPS boost. More importantly you will gain
漠然困境
which is excellent against teams that have to use GCDs on snaring you, or against heavy root classes as well.
The finesse slot should contain
不得安宁
, as well as picking up
无畏决斗者
which can be nice for pure solo single target DPS if really needing that extra bit to try and take them down.
精心准备
is useless in the arena.
Renown 43:
On this row, you should put your
灰烬主宰
here.
Renown 46 + 51:
You only really have 1 choice here, being
轻盈步
as it can help you out. It's mainly because
罪孽保护
will only ever be useful if playing with a warlock AND if you need the extra self healing, which is unlikely. Having another endurance conduit is nice, gaining
浓缩的心能之球
.
Theotar could be a good choice into heavy root teams as you gain
看好脚下!
to break out of roots.
废土礼节
also gives you and everyone on your team extra versatility, being a welcome site to more pressure and slight damage reduction, but it can be purged.
抚慰阴影
is quite lacklustre, not being too impactful in arena games.
小队恩惠
can be a decent bonus but you ideally want this on Haste or Versatility, having it on the other stats will make it significantly weaker.
1st + 2nd Row:
Picking up the endurance route is your best choice here, having an early
浓缩的心能之球
being powerful for self survival.
看好脚下!
is also excellent to have another root breaker.
从容不迫
can be decent for extra mobility but won't be as powerful as another root breaker, or the endurance conduit that comes with it.
Renown 9:
灰烬主宰
should be slotted in here, being a decent DPS increase.
Renown 13:
Choose whichever your personal preference is here, as it's completely optional.
Renown 18:
You should put
野蛮活力
in here.
Renown 28 + 34:
I'd say only the finesse route is really your best course of action here, gaining
不得安宁
.
废土礼节
is also such a nice buff to have for you and your partners and if it can be purged then at least it could protect other spells from being purged as well.
感激之情
is a decent soulbind too but costs a potency slot, which isn't nice to have in this tree overall.
高雅味觉
is completely worthless in arenas games.
Renown 42:
Having
适应性护甲碎片
here is good for your second best potency conduit.
Renown 45 + 49:
The finesse route is the only good option here, being a lacklustre route anyways.
茶话会永不终结
will be hard to make good use out of, considering you usually run out of the shade in most PvP situations anyway.
Having
捍卫
will be excellent to have for your teams defensives.
The other option is somehow even worse, gaining
生命只是开胃菜
which is negligible.
This tree is the best defensive option and probably overall option for a Protection Warrior as Venthyr. You gain
岩石效命
making you more durable as soon as your HP drops to 40%.
持续阴霾
could mean defensive usages of
暗影之门
if needed to survive. Last but not least,
高级战术
can make you pack a serious amount of extra punch, once again working with the effect that you land your interrupts often.
战场气息
is also a nice extra bonus to damage + damage reduction.
1st + 2nd Row:
Going the finesse route will be your best route, gaining
捍卫
early on, as well as
持续阴霾
giving you quite a sizeable shield for more self healing.
3rd Row:
Putting
灰烬主宰
here will be your best choice.
4th Row:
This row is completely optional, so choose whichever one you want!
5th Row:
You should put
野蛮活力
in here, being your best endurance conduit slot.
Renown 29 + 31:
ALL routes in these rows can be optional. My favourite here is the endurance conduit, picking up
浓缩的心能之球
, which is nice to have.
高级战术
is extremely powerful against any casters where you can interrupt often, proccing this often, giving you a lot of DPS.
The potency slot forces you to put
力量的展示
here but it's mainly used to give yourself
坚守阵地
, which can be nice against teams with heavy openers, being able to have more HP at the start of their setups. This may be unlikely to happen but it could be the difference between life or death, in which case you could lose if you find yourself dying.
For the finesse route, you could have
英姿勃发
here, then having
为战而生
could be an amazing DPS buff, considering it would be hard for you to drop below 50% against teams with high physical damage, making great use out of this soulbind. You should pick this route if you can make full use out of
为战而生
or if you aren't able to make any use out of
高级战术
either.
Renown 41:
Having
适应性护甲碎片
here will be wise, being your 2nd best potency conduit.
Renown 48 + 53:
I'd say
再生石肤
will be best all the time since you'll be taking damage whether you're the target or intervening/bodyguarding the damage from your partners, meaning you'll need healing in most games regardless, making this soulbind a nice thing to have. It allows you to gain
不得安宁
as well, being a welcome sight.
恐吓战术
is also an underwhelming soulbind in both its up-time and effect.

seems like i can't comment on the azerite section in this guide, so i'll do it here instead.
Overall love the guide, but in the azerite part you suggest to take 2-3 in reckless flurry.
But reckless flurry, is locked to the fury spec and cant be used in prot.
thanks alot for all the time and work put in to this guide, just a minor correction :)
