Welcome to Wowhead's Best in Slot Gear list from Phase 4 Zul'Aman for Protection Warrior Tank in The Burning Crusade Classic. This guide will list the recommended gear for Protection Warrior Tank to acquire while they progress during the fourth phase of The Burning Crusade Classic, and contains gear sourced from Zul'Aman, Black Temple, and Mount Hyjal, plus other pieces from previous phases like Serpentshrine Cavern, Tempest Keep, heroic dungeons, arena PvP Gear, professions, BoE World Drops, and reputations.
Best In Slot Gear for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Gearing your Protection Warrior in TBCC highly depends on your raiding environment. Some guilds may require a
higher threat ceiling
to withstand the pressure from high-performing damage dealers, while other guilds may encourage erring on the side of caution and focusing solely on
survival
. Most guilds will require a little bit of both and it is up to each tank to decide on the
balance
between threat and mitigation they want to achieve based on their experience within their group and for different encounters.
For this reason, I have made a selection of the most balanced and budget-efficient items for each slot as well as a threat and a mitigation-oriented alternative when applicable.
It is also important to note that gearing as a Protection Warrior in TBCC requires constant adjustments to maintain your crit immunity as you upgrade your gear and may lose Defense or Resilience rating in some slots. Make sure you keep some item alternatives to mix and match your stats and meet your goals for survival and threat.
The Protection Warrior Tier 6 set
冲锋护甲
comes with two good set bonuses.
2 pieces:
强化命令怒吼
Increases the health bonus from your
ability by 170.
4 pieces:
强化盾牌猛击
Increases the damage of your
ability by 10%.
The
Protection Tier 6
set bonuses are quite strong and desirable in a vacuum, but sadly the items themselves aren't. The Protection T6 itemization loses a lot of strength and agility compared to
previous tiers
and, instead, focuses primarily on stamina and, unfortunately, shield block rating (on 4 out of 5 pieces) which is
the least desirable stat as a Protection Warrior
. As a result, the Protection T6 items are all one-dimensional and with a poorly distributed item budget, which completely negates the value of the set bonuses.
On the other hand, the
Fury version of the Tier 6
comes with excellent stats to increase our threat, notably the new addition of
Armor Penetration
which is one of the rare stats that affects all our spells across the board.
However, there are two important caveats to the use of the Fury Tier 6. First, the lack of defense rating or resilience on so many items makes it difficult to maintain your critical strikes immunity. And second, we now share our token
遗忘保卫者的头盔
with two of the most represented classes in the TBC meta, which can account for up to half of the raid in some guilds and make Tier 6 items extremely contested.
For these reasons, Phases 3 and 4 are
the phases
where it is
the most important
that you take advantage of the free
Season 3 Arena gear
to form your BiS set. Several of the S3 armor pieces are BiS for their stats alone, but they also come with an enormous amount of resilience that makes reaching your critical strike immunity all the easier.
I can not
insist
enough on the benefits of taking advantage of this gear path that is not only free and guaranteed (one armor piece every 4-5 weeks by simply playing 10 games in a 5v5 team with your friends), but also reduces the competition on T6 tokens for the benefit of your entire guild.
Protection Warrior - Phase 4 Best In Slot
Mitigation-heavy set example (6% hit)
1590 TPS - 813 DPS - 1114 DTPS - 74.107 EHP
Protection Warrior - Phase 4 Best In Slot
Balanced set with Arena gear (6% hit)
1941 TPS - 1026 DPS - 1478 DTPS - 65.322 EHP
In this set, I opted to use DPS gems in items that also serve as DPS gear to retain their versatility when not tanking.
Thanks to the added stamina of phase 4 items, it's a neutral change to our survival compared to the previous phase.
Feel free to use stamina gems instead if you prefer to only focus on your tank gear.

Feel free to use stamina gems instead if you prefer to only focus on your tank gear.
Aldor vs. Scryer for Protection Warrior Tank in in Phase 4
Choosing between
奥尔多
or
占星者
determines which shoulders inscription you can access upon reaching exalted, which are basically equal for either side. But more importantly, your choice will affect the proc of your
破碎残阳
necklaces in Phase 5, which should have a greater influence on your decision.
The Inscriptions
Mathematically speaking, the Aldor's inscription
强力护卫铭文
totals slightly more raw avoidance at 1.30% avoidance, while the Scryers'
强力骑士铭文
provides 1.28% avoidance. This minuscule difference, at the scale of your entire gear set, is only a 0.06% difference in total mitigation value which is to say negligible and irrelevant.
Math aside, it is worth mentioning that more defense can help facilitate your gearing process in the early phases. This can be a good argument for choosing the Scryers, as you replace a lot of gear fast and have to adjust your crit immunity constantly.
The Necklace
The
破碎残阳
tank necklace,
破碎残阳决心坠饰
, available in Phase 5 and once you are exalted with this new faction, comes in two versions based on your chosen Shattrath faction. The Aldor version has a +100 dodge rating proc (+5.28% dodge) while the Scryers version has a +100 expertise rating proc (-6.25% dodge/parry).
Some napkin math:
The proc chance is 15% on hit, with a 10 sec duration and 45 sec ICD. Assuming a generous 22% uptime, we can simplify it to an additional 22 dodge or expertise rating. In practice, the expertise proc will be more valuable since you will pair it with your cooldowns on pull for snap threat. The dodge proc will also be more valuable, since avoidance EP scales exponentially.
Using Emrus' tank spreadsheet to determine Protection Warrior EP, that puts the Scryers version at 186 EP (90 Threat, 96 Mitigation) and the Aldor version at 152 EP (62 Threat, 90 Mitigation). For comparison,
深渊领主颈圈
totals 196 EP (74 Threat, 122 Mitigation).
When comparing these items, the threat value of expertise is halved because you are already soft-capped in Phase 3-4 gear. Moreover, you will be hard-capped in SWP BiS before the proc, making the Scryers version useless in the long run. On the other hand, Pit Lord will always be a better mitigation neck than the Aldor version.
In conclusion
, whichever faction you pick does not matter much in the long run. The shoulders enchants are identical and the necklace is just a stepping stone between Phase 4 and Phase 5 gear. Assuming your guild is capable of progressing through
太阳之井高地
and killing
布鲁塔卢斯
, chances are you will have a better necklace before reaching Exalted with the
破碎残阳
.
However, if you are a more casual player that may not have access to T6 or SWP gear, then I recommend siding with
奥尔多
for a great mitigation necklace, since you will be able to buy
灵巧胸针
for a threat option with your
公正徽章
in Phase 4.
Badges of Justice for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Phase 4 introduces new
公正徽章
items available at
基厄拉斯
in
沙塔斯城
. Contrary to phase 1 badge items that were only mediocre for a Protection Warrior and stepping stones before more powerful gear available in raids, some of these new items releasing alongside the new raid
祖阿曼
are important upgrades even for a T6 geared tank.
灵巧胸针
is a phenomenal neckpiece for a tank, with both high stamina and crucial hit and expertise rating for your threat. It is second to none in the threat department until the end of TBC and only barely loses to the
深渊领主颈圈
from
太阳之井高地
in overall value. A must-grab the moment the patch hits our live servers!
The second most important badge item to come with phase 4 is
上古方阵护腕
. Similar to the Brooch, it is also an incredible step up from raid gear available in phase 3 and comes with more much-needed expertise that will help any tank reach the expertise soft-cap in phase 4.
多莉的拥抱
is a good threat-oriented cloak without hit rating to build a 6% hit set around, with high armor penetration, stamina and resilience. It doubles as the best PvP cloak, so it's a two-in-one purchase. Protection Warriors looking to build a 9% hit set (no
) may still prefer
镇定斗篷
for the additional hit rating.
The rest of the new items sold by
基厄拉斯
can be valuable upgrades over
毒蛇神殿
and
风暴要塞
gear if you have been unlucky with drops so far in phase 3 raids, but none are exactly must-buy.
Noteworthy mentions include
斯里克的安抚披风
, the new best mitigation-oriented cloak.
怒火释放之链
, a decent step up from
红色战斗腰带
if you are currently using the hit rating, or need a DPS belt.
愤怒死亡护手
and
骨拳护手
, barely better than T5 options, if you are desperate for hit rating.
嗜血者的胫甲
, not bad on paper if you can spare the resilience/defense, but a gigantic amount of hit rating, difficult to fit. And finally
坚毅护腿
, one-dimensional mitigation legs that are a decent step up from T5 yet still way behind T6 options.

Body Armor for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Head for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
In spite of its low threat value,
铁壁面甲
is an excellent tank helmet with very high mitigation stats. By virtue of being a drop from
伊利丹·怒风
, this item benefits from an inflated item budget which you should definitely take advantage of. The one-dimensional stats of this helmet can be balanced with more offensive items in other slots, overall giving you more total stats from your gear set.
For a more offensive approach,
复仇角斗士的板甲头盔
is an amazing helmet for threat value with a large amount of stam and resilience that will greatly facilitate maintaining your crit immunity this phase.
Alternatively,
伊利达雷碎裂头盔
and
冲锋战盔
are good threat options with and without hit rating respectively. The lack of defense or resilience makes these more difficult to fit in your gear set, but should the situation call for a threat increase, it is good to have these fury-oriented options available. I recommend using proper fury gems and enchants on these DPS items so that they remain versatile and useful when not tanking as well.
百战獠盔
from
祖阿曼
is completely baren of threat stats but a strong mitigation alternative nonetheless for niche applications, like soaking
军刀猛刺
against
莎赫拉丝主母
.

Shoulders for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
I didn't include
复仇角斗士的板甲护肩
in any BiS set for obvious reasons, but if you have the arena rating requirement these are obviously the best shoulders for this phase.
As far as threat goes,
冲锋肩刃
and
毁灭者肩刃
are close in value, depending on if you need the hit rating or not. In fact, they are so close in value that you should probably not prio a
遗忘保卫者的护肩
token to a Protection Warrior early on in my opinion but instead use a spare T5 token.
Similarly to helmet, I recommend using fury gems and enchants for your
冲锋肩刃
to also use these shoulders in a DPS set when not tanking. Although not quite optimal for tanking, this should be a neutral change to your survival thanks to the new phase 4 items raising our stamina by a lot and more than making up for it. Ultimately, the decision is yours based on your priorities.
冲锋护肩
, while BiS for mitigation score alone, have rather disappointing stats and are merely an upgrade to
深渊愤怒肩铠
or
毁灭者护肩
. Given the demand for T6 tokens and the niche usage for purely mitigation-oriented shoulders, I would not waste one for these and stick to T5 for as long as possible.

Back for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Phase 4 introduces two good cloaks.
多莉的拥抱
is a great no-hit cloak with high armor penetration, stam and resilience that dethrones
黑暗披风
as the go-to cloak for 6% hit sets. And
斯里克的安抚披风
replaces
凤凰之翼斗篷
as the best mitigation cloak.
For tanks raiding without
and building a 9% hit set,
镇定斗篷
remains the best option.

Chest for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
复仇角斗士的板甲护胸
is once again the best chest piece because it strikes a good balance of threat stats without sacrificing much mitigation thanks to the huge stamina and resilience.
(Remember earlier when I mentioned how important arena gear becomes this phase?)
冲锋胸甲
is a close second choice with just as great threat stats and high stamina for a fury piece, albeit a bit harder to fit in a tank gear set due to the lack of defense and resilience.
Unsurprisingly,
毁灭者护胸
is still a very competitive chest for Phase 3 due to very high stats overall, if you can take advantage of all that hit rating.
Similarly to shoulders,
冲锋护胸
is technically the best chest for mitigation value alone, but the total lack of other stats makes it arguably worse than
毁灭者护胸
and a poor use of a coveted T6 token. For these reasons, I highly recommend against pursuing this item.
督军胸甲
is a decent and free alternative for a mitigation chest coming with

Wrist for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Phase 4 introduces the new
上古方阵护腕
sold by
基厄拉斯
, with amazing stats capable of rivaling with future
太阳之井高地
items. These bracers, as well as the new badge neckpiece, are great items to help you reach the so important expertise soft-cap that will allow you to finally retire the
百亡腰带
in favor of more efficient belts from newer raids.
恒金外壳护腕
are one-dimensional, mitigation-only bracers that can be used for a niche dodge set for RoS or Mother.

Hands for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
强制护手
are above all competitors when it comes to the gloves slot. They cumulate both the highest threat value, thanks to the big expertise rating stack, and the second-highest mitigation value, very close to
银月皇家护手
which are boring and ugly mitigation-only gloves. This two-in-one deal is truly amazing for gearing and the best part is no other tank class is going to compete with you on these!
In the meantime,
灼热之握
are still a strong threat-oriented pair of gloves but with roughly a third of the mitigation value of
强制护手
.
I recommend staying away from Fury BiS
沉默的公正
and
冲锋护手
because you would only be wasting a token here, but in the long term consider them for your DPS gear.

Waist for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
百亡腰带
is still unmatched for threat in phase 4. However, due to new items with expertise coming out, the expertise on this belt is no longer essential to reach the soft-cap. This reduces the overall value of the leather belt, which makes higher budget items such as
稳固腰带
more appealing to us. Despite being a mitigation-focused belt,
稳固腰带
allows for more offensive swaps in other slots, overall providing more total stats.
怒火释放之链
is a small upgrade from
红色战斗腰带
if your gear set still relies on the hit provided by the belt slot.

Legs for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
复仇角斗士的板甲护腿
are the overall best leg piece for a tank, with a perfect balance of threat and mitigation, as well as hit and resilience.
While
冲锋护腿
are technically the best threat legs of phase 3, they are not the easiest to fit without a large amount of PvP gear to make up for the lack of defense and resilience on fury gear.
无尽怒气腿甲
are a slightly worse version of T6 but are uncontested, although they come with the same issue.
On the mitigation front,
冲锋腿甲
is the only decently itemized item of the Protection Tier 6, but also basically equal to the uncontested
执政官护腿
which makes it difficult to justify taking a T6 token for. While
执政官护腿
don't have the defense or resilience rating that you may look for in a mitigation piece to round up your gear set, by using resilience gems in the yellow sockets you would end up with almost the same item with bonus hit on top.

Feet for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
军团恐怖战靴
are the best and most balanced boots for a Protection Warrior, but also very contested by DPS. A less contested pair of hit boots, albeit a lot more defensive, are the
侍从战靴
, which come with a lot of stamina. As always, keep in mind that mostly mitigation-oriented items can allow for more offensive swaps in other slots.
The season 3
守备官的板甲护胫
are a solid balanced pair of boots with great stats overall. However, the phase 4 additions to our BiS gear sets, such as
上古方阵护腕
and
多莉的拥抱
, may make the resilience on these boots overkill.

泰坦坠饰

Rings for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Phases 3 and 4 raids come with a plethora of ring options for all your threat and mitigation needs, and everything in between.
First off, let's take a look at threat-oriented rings. Phase 4 is finally the time to retire
变形者的徽记
thanks to new sources of expertise that help us reach the soft-cap. The impressive phase 1 ring finds a threat upgrade in the form of
原始怒火徽记
, a high armor penetration ring that drops from
祖阿曼
. It is important to note that this ring is highly contested and basically BiS for every physical class this phase, but thanks to
祖阿曼
being a 10-man raid on a 3 days lockout you should have better chances of getting one eventually. In the meantime, the trusty
变形者的徽记
stays on!
永恒勇士之戒
is the second-best ring for threat, thanks primarily to the high agility and stamina, that also comes with a strong
attack power proc
every minute. Alternatively,
欺诈指环
is a very similar ring option with hit rating in replacement of the AP proc.
For mitigation rings,
永恒防御者之戒
immediately comes to mind, but there is a catch... The
Armor proc
does not stack with your usual
保护卷轴 V
and, even worse, removes your scroll buff entirely. Unfortunately, this low proc chance, <10% uptime armor buff ends up only hurting your overall mitigation compared to the permanent effect of a
保护卷轴 V
, which makes the exalted tank ring simply unusable for any serious tank using scrolls. The only way to circumvent this undesirable proc is to never upgrade your ring past the revered version
永恒之戒
with the same stats, minus the proc. This also means that warriors who hastily picked the DPS version of the ring first will never have access to the revered tank version. Silly design or unintended spaghetti code, we'll never know...
深渊领主指环
is a great mitigation-oriented ring with hit, which can come in handy to both fill a need for hit rating and defense.
庇护者的紫罗兰徽记
and
裂魂之戒
are still the best mitigation-only rings, great for a
莎赫拉丝主母

Trinkets for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Trinkets are an ideal slot to adjust your threat or mitigation needs on the fly with a large variety of options ranging from pure threat to pure stamina. It is generally advised to avoid relying on trinkets to achieve your crit immunity to preserve this freedom of juggling different choices based on the encounter.
For mitigation, phase 3 introduced the very coveted
暗月卡片:复仇
and
暗月卡片:疯狂
from the new
暗月马戏团
decks. The former is especially sought after because of its proc which provides an additional ~15 TPS. Stamina trinkets are always a great choice for a Protection Warrior because they provide excellent value in this slot and let you use more offensive items in other slots once your survival is assured.
If you can't afford
暗月马戏团
decks, your best options remain the various +45 Stam trinkets.
指挥官的徽章
,
黑暗美酒护符
and
光明美酒护符
especially are pretty strong because of the
various
guardians
they
summon
. While their damage doesn't contribute to your threat, they can still do some decent work during their 30-40 seconds of activate time.
Now let's look at threat options. Because your abilities don't scale very well with offensive stats overall, the best way to increase your threat with trinkets is to raise your hit and expertise rating to make sure you land as many of your attacks as possible. There is no expertise trinket available until phase 5, so in the meantime
不屈勇气徽章
or
罗密欧的毒药
are still the best threat trinkets available in phase 4, as long as you build your gear set around the huge amount of hit rating they provide. Icon provides a nice snap threat boost on pull when you land your first couple rotations of abilities under the effect of
不屈勇气
, while Romulo's poison proc adds a more steady damage source equivalent to ~12 TPS.
If you don't need this amount of hit rating however, yet still want to use a threat-oriented trinket over a stamina one, I recommend setting your eyes on a snap threat trinket that will boost your threat output at the beginning of the fight when threat is the most volatile.
强烈优势算盘
provides the most explosive threat increase and is easy enough to farm.
虫群卫士徽章
is a close second but less accessible.
After that, your remaining options are to compete with DPS for very coveted upgrades such as
龙脊奖章
,
狂暴者的召唤
,
背叛者的疯狂
or
海啸护符
, which provide good sustained threat but are less useful than snap threat trinkets. I simply can not recommend ever pursuing these items considering the poor effectiveness on a tank instead of a DPS that would get triple the value out of every single one of these big-ticket trinkets.
影月徽记
or
战斗大师的残暴
are niche trinkets. Both provide mediocre mitigation or threat respectively, with a gimmicky on-use effect
保卫者的活力
increasing your HP by 1750 for 20 sec. Some people like them, some people hate them. Because their value comes from their activation at the appropriate moment, it's very difficult to gauge how useful they really are. Personally, I find the on-use very lackluster relative to the 20-21k HP pool of a buffed tank, especially against bosses swinging at you for ~6k damage, and redundant with the Protection Warrior toolkit.
破釜沉舟
and
梦魇草
are much better HP buffer and panic buttons when you need them, and don't cost any gear slot.

Weapons and Offhands for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
1-Handed Weapons for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Starting from phase 3, the damage output of raid bosses ramps up significantly. While
莫洛格里·踏潮者
was the only "tank buster" of phase 2, you should expect to take a similar beating from half of the bosses in
海加尔峰
and
黑暗神殿
. This increase in damage taken across the board can be used to our advantage, however, with faster weapons to convert more rage into
. For this reason, weapon speed becomes a major factor to generate threat on every rage-capped encounter of phase 3, and, lucky for us, there are a lot of options to pick from.
残酷者
is the weapon goal for all Protection Warriors, expect
人类
s. The Brutalizer has excellent stats all around, with both expertise and high speed to increase your threat generation, and stamina and defense for a high mitigation value as well.
兽人
s, in particular, will receive a massive threat upgrade from the synergy with their
, doubling the expertise gained from this item.
人类
tanks, however, will prefer to stick to swords and maces to take advantage of their own racials;
and
.
With a swing speed of 1.4 seconds,
野蛮之刃
is the best weapon out there for threat in a rage-capped situation, for example against any hard hitter such as
阿兹加洛
,
阿克蒙德
,
塔隆·血魔
or
伊利丹·怒风
.
人类
s especially will gain a huge threat boost from this sword compared to previous phases, but
残酷者
remains the recommended choice for other races due to the added mitigation value and less "glass-canon" weapon.
However,
野蛮之刃
is also a coveted weapon for DPS
战士
s and
潜行者
s. In the meantime,
迅钢锤
is a good alternative with close threat value and no competition.
祖阿曼
noteworthy additions are
埃基尔松的爪刃
, a fast threat-oriented sword comparable to
迅钢锤
in threat output but without hit rating, and
无情利斧
, a good axe alternative for
兽人
s still waiting for
残酷者
.
不败的意志
is the best mitigation weapon available in phase 3, with stamina, defense and bonus armor. Despite the lack of offensive stats, it's high DPS and fast speed still make it an acceptable weapon for threat, especially for
人类
s.

Shields for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
Phase 3 finally gives us access to the iconic
埃辛诺斯壁垒
, dream of all tanks for its unique, brutal looks. But on top of style points,
埃辛诺斯壁垒
is also a cut above the rest when it comes to damage mitigation, with unmatched stamina and armor, further increased by a unique +2000 armor proc
牢不可破
.
With spikes like these, it should really have a hidden passive that increases
's damage...
Phase 3 also introduces
卡兹洛加之心
, a more offensive shield with hit rating. That being said, no amount of hit rating on a shield can come close to the enormous amount of stats provided by
埃辛诺斯壁垒
. Nonetheless, it's an alternative that can be used as a stepping stone while waiting for the big prize.
If you are terribly unlucky with shield drops, consider
复仇角斗士的墙盾
for a similar mitigation increase and decent upgrade to
奥尔多遗产保卫者
.
阿曼尼帝国壁垒
from
祖阿曼
has rather disappointing stats and is barely an upgrade from phase 2 shields. A decent catch-up shield, about equivalent to S2
残酷角斗士的墙盾
, but still far behind 25-man raids offering.

Guns and Bows for Protection Warrior Tank in Phase 4
军团杀手
is the best ranged weapon for a Protection Warrior for its great amount of stats and balance between threat and survival.
Alternatively,
奥金气枪
and
毒蛇神殿飞镖
from last phase are still good choices to round up your hit rating and more threat-oriented options.
复仇角斗士的战刃
is a great option if you are a few resilience points short of reaching critical strikes immunity, with good balanced stats.
And finally,
陀螺平衡氪金重枪
remains the best mitigation ranged item for some niche situations.
Overall, all these items are so close to each other in value that it would be difficult to pick a clear winner. Consider each of these options and pick the item that suits your current gear the best to reach your EHP, crit immunity or hit cap!

Any reason not to continue to stack expertise with Shapeshifter's and 100D?

As a orc warrior is Swiftsteel Bludgeon really better than Cleaver of the Unforgiving ?
