Class Overview for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
In Wrath of the Lich King, the Protection
战士
is a high damage and high threat tank, with great CC capabilities and mobility.
Thanks to a deep overhaul of the Protection talent tree, it is one of the most fun classes to play. It has an engaging yet intensive rotation paired with unpredictable procs keeping you on your toes at all times.
The Protection
战士
performs well in dungeons and raids as a high threat tank with amazing AoE capabilities, and even in PvP for the first time thanks to a large arsenal of CC paired with great burst and mobility.
If you are the type of person who likes to choose your class based on its power in the current raid, we have prepared a Tier List that goes over the best Tank specs in the current raid tier and an explanation on why from our Class Writers.

Class Changes for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Almost every talent of the three Warrior trees was overhauled for Wrath of the Lich King, as well as several cooldowns. For the sake of keeping this section as concise as possible, I will only cover the major changes that affect the Protection
战士
gameplay.
Changes to existing abilities & talents
盾牌专精
—Shield Specialization moved to the first row of the Protection tree and now generates 5 rage anytime you block, dodge or parry an attack, with no ICD. The bonus rage is especially valuable in an AoE situation for more
顺劈斩
usage.
强化雷霆一击
—Improved Thunder Clap moved from the Arms tree to the Protection tree. Its bonus damage to
雷霆一击
has been reduced but Thunder Clap now scales with your AP and hits an infinite number of targets in 8 yards (10 glyphed) around you, making it your strongest AoE ability by far.
预知
—Anticipation now gives 1/2/3/4/5% dodge instead of defense skill.
破釜沉舟
—The cooldown of Last Stand has been reduced from 8 minutes to 3 minutes.
强化复仇
—Improved Revenge no longer gives a chance for
复仇
to stun your target, but instead increases its damage by 30/60% and makes Revenge hit an additional target. Revenge now also scales with AP and went from the weakest to the hardest hitting of your abilities.
盾牌格挡
—Shield Block is no longer a 5 seconds cooldown that guarantees the next 1/2 attacks will be blocked as part of your rotation. Instead, it is now a 1-minute cooldown that guarantees every attack against you will be blocked during 10 seconds and doubles your block value for that duration, making it an important cooldown both for survival and threat.
盾牌掌握
—Shield Mastery now increases your block value by 15/30% and reduces the cooldown of the new
盾牌格挡
by 10/20 seconds.
坚韧
—Toughness now also reduces the duration of movement slowing effects, mostly relevant for PvP situations.
强化缴械
—Improved Disarm now reduces the cooldown of
缴械
and increases the damage received by the disarmed target by 10% for the duration. Very few bosses can be disarmed to benefit from this talent in PvE, but it is valuable in PvP to coordinate a burst with your team.
强化戒律
—Improved Disciplines no longer increases the duration of
盾墙
but instead reduces the cooldown of
盾墙
,
鲁莽
and
反击风暴
from 5 minutes to 4. Not very useful unless it lets you use a second Shield Wall during an encounter, but great for more Retaliation usage in dungeons.
禁令
—Gag Order (previously Improved Shield Bash) now increases the damage of
盾牌猛击
by 10% on top of its silence effect, making it a new core talent for the Protection Warrior.
强化防御姿态
—Improved Defensive Stance now additionally provides an
激怒
effect every time you block, dodge or parry, increasing your damage output by 10% for 12 seconds. This talent rewards gearing defensively with a near-permanent uptime of the Enrage buff.
活力
—Vitality now grants more stamina than strength, and additionally includes the 6 bonus expertise of the now removed Defiance talent.
New abilities & talents
全副武装
—Armored to the Teeth (AttT) converts your armor into attack power at a rate of +3 AP for every 108 armor points. A great talent to convert survival into more threat and damage.
激动
—Incite is a new talent that increases the critical strike chances of
英勇打击
,
顺劈斩
and
雷霆一击
by 5/10/15%.
强化法术反射
—Improved Spell Reflection passively reduces the chance you will be hit by spells and expands the effect of
法术反射
to party members within 20 yards. Mostly a PvP talent with very niche PvE applications.
警戒
—Vigilance is a new spell that protects an ally for 30 minutes, reducing their damage taken by 3% all the while transferring 10% of the threat they generate to you. Additionally, your
嘲讽
cooldown is reset each time your protected target is hit by an attack. This spell is an amazing threat boost when used on a high-performing DPS, but there are several other applications to either take advantage of the damage reduction on another tank or the taunt reset to protect a healer, etc.
捍卫
—Safeguard reduces the damage taken by the target of your
援护
ability by 30% for 6 seconds. A very niche talent that can become useful occasionally for 2-tanks encounters or PvP.
战神
—Warbringer is a new talent that makes your
冲锋
,
拦截
and
援护
abilities usable in any stance and in combat. Plus Intervene now also removes all movement impairing effects. An amazing talent that grants the Protection Warrior unmatched mobility without losing rage from stance dancing.
精确格挡
—Critical Block increases the critical chance of
盾牌猛击
by 5/10/15% and blocked attacks have a chance to absorb double the block value.
剑盾猛攻
—Sword and Board (SnB) is a new talent that increases the critical chance of your
毁灭打击
by 5/10/15% but, more importantly, gives your
复仇
and
毁灭打击
usage a 30% chance to refresh the cooldown of
盾牌猛击
and remove its rage cost for the next 5 seconds. This talent makes your rotation unpredictable and greatly increases your damage and threat output with more Shield Slam usage throughout the fight.
盾牌反伤
—Damage Shield inflicts 20% of your block value as thorn damage whenever you take direct damage from or block a melee attack.
震荡波
—Shockwave is the new ultimate ability of the Protection tree. It sends a wave of force in a frontal cone of 10 yards, damaging and stunning all enemies for 4 seconds. A great CC and AoE ability, albeit the cone is rather narrow and takes practice to use efficiently.
英勇投掷
—Heroic Throw is a new pulling tool, throwing your weapon at an enemy up to 30 yards with high damage, bonus threat and a silence effect when paired with
禁令
.
狂怒回复
—Enraged Regeneration consumes the
激怒
effect from
强化防御姿态
,
血性狂暴
or
狂暴之怒
to regenerate 30% of your total HP over 10 seconds. A niche cooldown mostly used to solo content.
碎裂投掷
—Shattering Throw is a new cooldown that reduces the armor of your target by 20% (stacking with other armor reduction effects) to increase the damage output of your raid for 10 seconds. In PvP, it also removes invulnerability effects such as
圣盾术
.
In Wrath of the Lich King, the Protection tree is a lot more appealing than in The Burning Crusade.
Many talents combine survival and threat increases such as
盾牌专精
,
盾牌掌握
,
强化防御姿态
,
活力
,
精确格挡
, or even quality of life improvements such as
禁令
which includes a silence effect that helps deal with casters on pull even if your primary interest is the bonus to
盾牌猛击
.
Several of these talents provide additional critical chances that would be lacking on a tank's gear set, contributing to making the Protection
战士
a very high-damage tank.
Overall, these are significant talents that feel like real power upgrades to your character. There are no filler talents that you are forced to take to progress down the tree anymore. Instead, every talent makes you wish you had more points to take them all and forces you to make choices, which is a much better design.
Alongside these new and improved talents, most of the Protection
战士
kit was also overhauled to now scale with attack power (strength), which was its most critical weakness in TBC to stay competitive in the threat department. Abilities such as
雷霆一击
and
复仇
, that did pitiful damage in the last expansion, are now some of the highest damage abilities among all tanks, becoming a major source of damage for AoE and single target.
震荡波
is a new addition to the kit and a substantial damage and threat increase for both AoE and single target. It's also an amazing CC that can hit an unlimited amount of enemies if you can position them in the narrow frontal cone of the spell.
But the most important and class-defining ability of the Protection
战士
in Wrath of the Lich King, in my opinion, is
剑盾猛攻
.
SnB
completely revitalizes the rigid rotation of TBC with unpredictable procs that will keep you on your toes for the whole duration of the raid. Throughout the years, many players have described the Protection
战士
's skill priority system in Wrath of the Lich King as the best tank design in World of Warcraft's history and I would have to agree with them.
Class Viability for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
The Protection
战士
is a high damage and high threat tank, if not the highest, both for single target and AoE situations. Its great mobility makes it an excellent tank to cruise through dungeons and raids at high speed. Its frontloaded damage and threat output is perfectly suited to glue all the mobs to you even against trigger-happy DPS already pressing their best AoE spells before you even pulled.
On the other hand, the former king of defensive cooldowns didn't receive as much love in that department compared to the Protection
圣骑士
or the Blood
死亡骑士
for Wrath of the Lich King. Both received many new defensive cooldowns, and arguably stronger ones overall, while the Protection
战士
's kit remained mostly unchanged apart from shorter cooldowns.
It's fair to say that the Protection
战士
traded a bit of survivability in exchange for threat in this new expansion, and will rely more heavily on the support of the entire raid and external cooldowns to make up for it.
A Protection
战士
is very self sufficient when it comes to debuffs. It provides all the important boss debuffs for a tank's survival, such as
Attack Power reduction
and
Attack Speed slow
, as well as
Major Armor Reduction
(20%) that your fellow DPS
战士
s and
潜行者
s will appreciate not having to worry about.
A Protection
战士
can also buff the raid, either with
战斗怒吼
, now equivalent to a
圣骑士
's
力量祝福
, or with
命令怒吼
that remains a unique HP increase buff with no alternative. This large array of buffs and debuffs makes the Protection
战士
especially desirable in 10-man content to fill in the gaps in your raid composition.
Strengths & Weaknesses for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Strengths
Great snap threat and sustained threat, with high personal DPS
Explosive frontloaded AoE threat that enables immediate AoE on trash
Engaging rotation with unpredictable
盾牌猛击
refresh
High mobility in and out of combat
Good control with multiple stuns, kick, silences, disarm, and taunt resets from Vigilance
Brings a large array of buffs and debuffs, especially
破甲攻击
and
碎裂投掷
Weaknesses
Reliance on block rating bypassed by boss mechanics, often doing magic or true damage
Limited defensive cooldowns that make you more dependent on raid support
None of the buffs or debuffs are unique to the Protection Warrior
Weak DPS dual spec when not tanking
Class Mechanics for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Rage
战士
s generate rage when dealing or receiving damage and consume it as a resource to perform abilities. As a tank specifically, most of your rage comes from soaking damage for the group and converting it into damage and threat to maintain aggro. For this reason, the amount of rage available to you can vary based on encounters; weaker enemies will deal less damage to you and generate fewer rage, while the combined damage of several enemies or dangerous bosses will fill your rage bar rapidly.
The erratic nature of rage generation means you will sometimes find yourself in situations of low rage, forced to make conservative decisions to only use the most rage-efficient abilities. On the other hand, sometimes you will receive more rage than you can utilize, for example when tanking raid bosses. In those situations, you will have ample rage to perform your entire rotation, plus include a
rage dump
ability such as
英勇打击
or
顺劈斩
to convert extra rage into more damage. When introducing a rage dump ability, be mindful of your rage consumption and generation throughout the fight. It is important to recognize when to stop queueing
英勇打击
before you accidentally rage-starve yourself; maintaining your core rotation should always be the priority.
Stances
战士
s have 3 stances —
战斗姿态
,
防御姿态
and
狂暴姿态
. Each comes with different bonuses and exclusive abilities you can not perform in other stances.
防御姿态
is the main stance for tanks, decreasing damage taken by 10%, damage caused by 5%, but doubling threat generated. Because of this enormous modifier on threat to any action performed in
防御姿态
, there is never a reason to attempt to use abilities outside of this stance when tanking.
The addition of the
战神
talent to a Protection
战士
's kit in Wrath of the Lich King removes the incentive to stance-dance into
战斗姿态
or
狂暴姿态
to use their respective mobility skills,
冲锋
and
拦截
. These two become usable in
防御姿态
, which makes other stances less relevant outside of the occasional
碎裂投掷
to boost raid damage.
Best Races for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
Race
死亡骑士
德鲁伊
猎人
法师
圣骑士
牧师
潜行者
萨满祭司
术士
战士
人类
矮人
暗夜精灵
侏儒
德莱尼
兽人
亡灵
牛头人
巨魔
血精灵
Alliance
德莱尼
is the best race for a Protection
战士
PvE tank
in the Alliance because it provides the
英雄灵气
aura that increases both physical and spell hit for you and your party by 1%. It's one of the few buffs in Wrath of the Lich King that remains limited to your party instead of your raid and its actual value in terms of raw stats when applied to 5 players is far superior to any other racial trait.
Because this buff only applies to the party,
德莱尼
players will be in higher demand to cover all 5 groups of a 25-man raid. However, multiple
英雄灵气
do not stack so the moment another
德莱尼
is in the group, the value of your racial becomes null.
人类
is another great choice for more personal gains, and
more versatile
for players interested in DPS roles and PvP as well. As in previous expansions, the major part of tank weapons are still swords and maces, making
剑专精
and
锤类武器专精
valuable traits to increase your damage and threat generation. These two racials have been nerfed from +5 expertise to +3 expertise in WotLK but remain the best for personal threat and DPS,
although expertise is now a much more common stat found on gear as well as gems
.
The infamous
生存意志
ability is invaluable for players interested in PvP since it acts as a free
联盟勋章
, giving you an extra trinkets slot for more damage. In PvE it can sometimes come in handy, mostly in dungeons against enemies that can root, slow or stun.
Finally,
暗夜精灵
is worth mentioning for its unique
迅捷
passive, granting an additional 2% miss chances to physical attacks and abilities performed against you. This extra avoidance is not affected by diminishing returns and makes
暗夜精灵
the best race for a tank primarily concerned about survivability.
矮人
is hard to recommend because the balance of tank swords and maces dropping in raids favors
人类
overall throughout the entire expansion, while
石像形态
is an underwhelming cooldown, barely increasing damage reduction by ~2% for 8 seconds.
侏儒
has no useful racial ability for a Protection
战士
in PvE.
Racial to stats napkin math
How much stamina would you sacrifice if you tried to compensate for each racial with gems?
1% melee hit = 32.789 Hit rating
34 Hit rating budget
=
51 Stamina
1 player = 32.789 hit rating = 0.964
刚硬龙眼石
=
49.164 Stamina
5 players = 163.945 hit rating = 4.822
刚硬龙眼石
= 245.917 Stamina
Other
德莱尼
in the group →
英雄灵气
= 0 Stamina
1 expertise = 8.19 Expertise rating
34 Expertise rating budget
=
51 Stamina
3 expertise = 24.57 Expertise rating = 0.722
精准龙眼石
=
36.855 Stamina
1% Dodge = 45.25 Dodge rating
(before DR)
34 Dodge rating budget
=
51 Stamina
2% Avoidance = 90.5 Dodge rating = 2.662
诡秘龙眼石
=
135.75 Stamina
Horde
兽人
and
巨魔
are both equally great races for a tank.
血性狂怒
increases your attack power by +322 AP at lvl 80 for 15 seconds and no longer reduces your incoming heals which finally makes it a safe cooldown to use as a tank.
狂暴
increases your attack speed by +20% for 10 seconds. Both racial abilities are excellent on-use effects to pair with other cooldowns, trinkets, potions, bloodlust, etc. on pull to build your initial threat lead.
That being said, because of the exponential nature of the aforementioned racials when combined with other cooldowns, it would be impossible to predict their real value at this time and until proper simulation tools are available to the community. Very basic approximations indicate they are about equal, with
狂暴
ever so slightly outperforming
血性狂怒
on average (≅+0.2%).
If you are interested in DPS roles and PvP as well as tanking, then other racial abilities may affect your choice.
斧专精
in particular is a nice bonus for DPS
战士
s, especially in the end-game paired with
影之哀伤
, but
狂暴
scales a bit better and will grant more DPS in the long run. However, it is not very relevant to a Protection
战士
due to the lack of good axes or fist weapons for tanks throughout all WotLK content. For PvP, the once-again-nerfed
坚韧
and the new
巫毒步
— reducing the duration of stuns by 15% or the duration of movement impairing effects by 15% respectively — are considered about equal.
Sadly,
牛头人
s had too big of a hitbox to dodge the
nerf hammer
in the transition to Wrath of the Lich King.
耐久
received a massive nerf, from +5%
total
health to +5%
base
health, which translates to an increase of +400ish HP at lvl 80 (roughly one extra gem) while the TBC racial already granted over 1000 bonus health at lvl 70 by the end of SWP. The bonus +2.55 yards melee range
"hidden passive"
was removed at a late stage of the beta for arena balance, but
战争践踏
is still a decent CC for PvP and dungeons.
Technically speaking,
牛头人
remains the best race for a tank based on survivability alone thanks to that extra gem worth of health, if tank damage and threat are less of a priority to you and your guild.
亡灵
has no useful racial ability for a Protection
战士
in PvE, and
血精灵
can't select
战士
as a class in Wrath of the Lich King.
Best Professions for Protection Warrior Tank in Wrath of the Lich King
工程学
工程学
is by far and away the best profession in Wrath of the Lich King, for a Protection
战士
and basically everyone else. It was always the best in vanilla and TBC, but WotLK takes it to the next level with profession perks ranging from pre-raid Best in Slot gear —
装甲泰坦神铁护目镜
, Best in Slot enchants —
思维放大圆盘
,
装甲护网
,
硝化甘油推进器
, invaluable quality of life gizmos such as
,
,
,
, an , and, as always, the
essential
explosives
to boost your AoE potential.
珠宝加工
珠宝加工
lets you craft three
龙眼石
gems, with
stats
equal to 212% of an
equivalent rare gem
and later 170% of an
equivalent epic gem
, for a total of +63 stamina. When compared to other profession perks, such as
毛皮衬垫 - 耐力
(+62 stam),
附魔戒指 - 耐力
x2 (+60 stam),
坚韧
(+60 stam) or
插槽护腕
+
插槽手套
(+60 stam), the difference is minor for a tank.
However, a Protection
战士
with
珠宝加工
will also benefit from excellent trinkets such as
雕像 - 帝黄晶螃蟹
(Phase 1 BiS) and
雕像 - 红宝石野兔
(pre-raid BiS equivalent).
Another strength of
珠宝加工
is its versatility. While other profession perks only give additional stamina, attack power or spell power,
龙眼石
can also be cut into a variety of stats far more valuable than plain AP when it comes to threat, dual-spec DPS or PvP, such as
断裂龙眼石
,
精准龙眼石
or
刚硬龙眼石
.

Roll with two prot warriors specced into safeguard. Intervene each other for a 30% damage reduction 20% of the time, while also enjoying the shared health pool for a couple of hits. Bring a third prot warrior, have a 30% damage reduction up 40% of the time, and work in a tank swap to bring it up to 60% of the time...
On top of never having to stop to drink, or touching any other cooldowns, and while super salving your threat-y dps.
Much higher skill cap, for sure, but pretty amazing results from it.

Commanding Shout that remains a unique HP increase buff with no alternative
It's the same as blood pact isn't it? It was stacking for a while on PTR but this was fixed before Ulduar launched.
