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.
Venthyr Protection Warrior Covenant Abilities
Venthyr Warrior Class Ability:
判罪
The Venthyr Class Ability for Warriors of all specializations is
判罪
. A replacement for
斩杀
that deals Shadow damage,
判罪
is usable when enemies are above 80% health and below 20% health, and grants you a damage absorption debuff on the target that’s about 70% as efficient as Ignore Pain at converting Rage into damage reduction.
判罪
has a number of major downsides. In fact, this ability is mostly downside. The potential single-target DPS increase is good. The potential to use Execute without a major defensive loss is good. Unfortunately, due to the design of Execute for Protection Warrior and the lack of talents or passives that interact with Execute or improve its usability in any way, this Covenant is a dud.
Tank damage is most competitive in AoE, but
判罪
is single target. Protection Warrior already has four Rage spenders, it needs more Rage generators.
判罪
is a Rage spender. Protection Warrior wants more offensive cooldowns to maximize its burst damage windows.
判罪
is a steady DPS increase during usable windows, not a burst tool at all.
There is basically no use case for Venthyr Protection Warrior in all of Shadowlands.
Venthyr Conduit for
判罪
严苛惩罚
barely increases the damage of
判罪
, a single-target skill, while in AoE. This is a badly-designed, undertuned bonus. It has some synergy for DPS specs, but never got any for Protection. Never use this Conduit.
Protection Warrior Conduit Guide
Venthyr Signature Ability:
暗影之门
暗影之门
is a simple, effective mobility skill. Due to the cast time, you probably won’t use it very much while actively tanking. For moving through damaging effects, or skipping packs in Mythic+, or just quickly moving from point A to point B, it's pretty useful.
Venthyr Exclusive Legendary for Protection Warriors
罪孽冲动
grants extra duration onto a major offensive cooldown. That's totally decent. Unfortunately, it's tied to a Covenant that simply does not work for Protection Warrior at all. You really hate to see a good bonus wasted on a badly-designed Covenant framework.
Shame.
Other Legendary Interactions for Venthyr Protection Warriors
判罪
doesn't directly interact with your Legendaries.
Protection Warrior Legendary Guide
Best Venthyr Protection Warrior Soulbinds
Best Venthyr Protection Warrior Renown 80 Soulbind
General Draven offers the best defensive value of any Venthyr Soulbind at Renown 80, and he offers reasonably competitive offensive value, as well. He doesn't have quite the potential offensive upside, but he is much more consistent, and generally a better Soulbind for tanks.
If you crave more offensive value, Nadjia offers great stat budget at the expense of some constant defense.
Venthyr Protection Warrior Covenant Rotation Changes
As usual, this page only highlights the specific use case of the class and signature abilities. For more detail on how to play the class across the range of potential situations, check out our other, more detailed guide pages:
Protection Warrior Rotation Guide
判罪
Condemn should be used as much as you can during the opener and Execute window. In AoE pulls, try to lock down threat at the start before you go crazy spamming Condemn. In both the opener and Execute phase, be sure you don’t overspend Rage to the point where you cannot maintain Shield Block. Otherwise, go crazy.
暗影之门
It's basically Heroic Leap with a cast time. Use it to move through mechanics quickly during intermission phases, or if you need to move and all the rest of your mobility skills are on cooldown.
That's it!
Venthyr Protection Warrior Talent Builds
Your talents do not change when using
判罪
. Not at all.
Protection Warrior Talents
Venthyr Protection Warrior Gearing Differences
判罪
doesn't have any kind of unusual interactions with gear. Gear exactly the same way you always do: Prioritize item level, sockets, Haste, and Versatility. Mastery and Crit are both still good, just a little less powerful and reliable than the other stats.
Venthyr Protection Warrior Soulbinds Explained
Across all classes and specs, Venthyr have access to the same three soulbinds:
Nadjia the Mistblade
,
Theotar the Mad Duke
and
General Draven
. These are the NPCs who accompany you in completing the Revendreth storyline. As you gain Renown with the Venthyr, you gain deeper access to a tree of Soulbind Traits (always-on, game-wide bonuses) and Conduits (semi-customizable bonuses to specific abilities).
These tree progressively unlock based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your renown level with the Venthyr Covenant.
Below, we have summarized the optimal route through each Soulbind tree, and the best Conduits along the way. There is some flexibility at points, with some Soulbind traits offering two non-throughput, utility-oriented options, or some defensive Conduits being arguably better in some situations than others, and weaker in some situations than others.
Nadjia the Mistblade grants a few powerful traits:
兴奋追猎者
grants you an occasional major Haste buff. When you are slamming through little adds that die easily, it can have pretty high uptime. In a normal, boring, single-target encounter, the uptime is not great.
精心准备
makes your basic combat buffs (food, flask, weapon enchant) 20% more effective. It’s not amazing, but it’s reliable.
罪孽保护
is a very small extra defensive bonus. Nothing special.
致命缺陷
is a good stat boost to one of two decent stats. It's simple, but good.
This is arguably the best all-around Soulbind. It doesn't have the same defensive value as General Draven, but you can't block a boss to death, either. Use this tree generally, and switch to General Draven when you absolutely need the extra defensive power.
Here is an ideal setup for this Soulbind Tree:
Theotar the Mad Duke provides a couple of valuable bonuses:
抚慰阴影
grants a large Mastery proc. It’s simple, but good.
废土礼节
makes using Condemn grant you and nearby allies a decent Versatility buff. The nature of the Execute window means that the Versatility buff’s uptime won’t be great, but it will consistently be active during the start and end of fights, and that’s not bad.
从容不迫
grants an extra charge of Door of Shadows. Depending on how frequently you will need to move, it can be a very good addition.
高雅味觉
greatly increases the value of your Combat Potions, which can be an excellent increase to your DPS.
茶话会永不终结
boosts the value of
抚慰阴影
even further, granting a big defensive proc.
小队恩惠
gives you a power that can increase one of your stats at all times. It's very simple, but it's very good, as well.
This tree starts very strong, gets a little weak in the middle, and finishes strong again. It's a great all-around Soulbind, but the random nature is a little unappealing. General Draven offers more defensive power and is more consistent, as well. Here is an ideal setup for this Soulbind Tree:
Picking General Draven grants access to the following notable traits:
岩石效命
provides a powerful, always-on damage reduction effect while your health pool is in the danger zone. It’s arguably the best defensive Soulbind Trait available to tanks in any tree, of any Covenant.
坚守阵地
provides another substantial defensive bonus. Extra Stamina is great for surviving burst damage, and while 4% more Ignore Pain value might not be a lot, everything counts.
为战而生
is a decent alternative. It doesn’t have the high defensive upside, and it forces you through a Finesse Conduit (you can bypass the other Finesse Conduit higher in the tree to compensate), but 5% extra Strength is not bad.
再生石肤
converts a small portion of overhealing into healing over time. It's not too special, but it can be a bit of extra incoming healing.
战场气息
grants a solid chunk of Versatility value in AoE. It's simple, but it's consistent, and it's good.
General Draven is the strongest of the three trees defensively by a substantial margin. The primary drawback is that he doesn't have potential to add a lot of good offensive RNG. Nonethless, he's extremely strong for tanking in any situation. Here’s a calculator with the ideal setup:
Double Legendaries for Venthyr Protection Warrior
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Venthyr Protection Warrior even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

The guide says "You unlock Nadjia the Mistblade early on at level 60. She’s not your ideal long-term Soulbind, but she is a good starter option."
However in the best category it marks Nadjia again, is this a typo or is there a better option that Nadjia once everything is unlocked? Thanks for the help!
