Emblems of Conquest for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Emblème de conquête is the new raid currency introduced in Phase 2, this is obtainable through 10 and 25-man Ulduar, as well as the daily heroic dungeon quest from Archimage Lan'dalock.

All gear from the conquest vendor is iLevel-232 and because of that is likely to be an upgrade in one way or another for most players, we're only providing one way to approach your emblem gear though consider that some of these upgrades can be situationally very strong and might be just the item you're looking for.

Cuirasse de l'égide de conquérant is a lucrative initial pick up, it sits as one of the best chests in phase 2, Ventaille de l'égide de conquérant also being a contender for the BiS head slot lets you capitalize on guaranteeing your 2-set bonus as well as having some of the best items for these slots.

Gantelets du guet royal, Eclat de la forêt de cristal, and Ceinturon garde-écu are optional pieces but being cheaper you are investing less emblems for a higher return on iLevel than if you were to buy an expensive tier piece ahead of these. Well itemized for hit, these will also assist you in capping out early and are hard to replace for that purpose.

Orbe runique is a definitive consideration if you know that your guild is not giving you early dibs on your orbs, Dispensateurs de mort à pointes and Ceinturon indestructible en plaques are both powerful BoE crafts that likewise contend for BiS in their respective slots.

Cuissards garde-wyrm is not really a worthwhile pick-up, the primary use of these legs are for solo tanking the adds on heroic Anub'arak in L'épreuve du croisé.

Body Armor for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Head for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Heaume de sans-visage and Ventaille de l'égide de conquérant are very similar helmets. Ventaille de l'égide de conquérant ends up easier to slot into most sets, giving you an avenue to access your set bonuses as well as having substantially more defense.

It's important to remember that meta gems such as Diamant siègeterre austère requires a red and two blue gems to activate. A purple gem will count towards both red and blue requirement when utilized with this meta gem.

Recommended BiS Helm Enchant: Arcanum du fidèle protecteur or Parabole d'amplification de l'esprit if you have Ingénierie.

Shoulders for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Plaques d'épaule du déconstructeur are the best phase 2 shoulders. Garde-épaules de l'égide de conquérant real advantages are its EHP, access to a socket, and lastly the fact that it's a tier piece. This being a tier slot complicates what shoulder you want to prioritize and as you gear you will probably want to swap between either of these as more pieces come in.

Otherwise there is very little room to play with in phase 2, there aren't that many shoulders for us to choose from.

Recommended BiS Shoulder Enchant: Calligraphie supérieure du gladiateur > Calligraphie du pinacle du maître > Calligraphie supérieure du pinacle.

Back for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

All options in this slot for phase 2 are linear upgrades from each other and from phase 1. That is to say that they're all virtually identical just get incrementally better until you get Cape en peau de titan which is your best in slot.

Recommended BiS Cloak Enchant: Ench. de cape (Armure puissante) = Ench. de cape (Agilité majeure) = Ench. de cape (Tisse-titan). With Ingénierie you can alternatively get Doublure en toile flexible.

P1 BiS	Cape maillée en platine		Token purchaseable for 25 Emblème de vaillance	Norvin Alderman

Chest for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Cuirasse de l'intemporel is the best chest for you in phase 2, however due to restrictions around tier set bonuses, you may want to opt for Cuirasse de l'égide de conquérant. Essentially this slot will determine which helmet you decide to pick up and we advise you to, at least initially use a first come first serve discretion.

Otherwise this slot doesn't allow you much creative control, there are very few chests in phase 2, Corselet incassable is the odd one out as you will want this for an encounter later down the line. So should Corselet incassable drop, just bank it for phase 3.

Recommended BiS Chest Enchant: Ench. de plastron (Super santé) = Ench. de plastron (Caract. puissantes) = Ench. de plastron (Défense supérieure)

Wrist for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Couplages de l'Inferno de Mimiron or Garde-bras du guet des flammes will depend on your flavor of raid size, phase 2 is completely lacking in viable options.

Recommended BiS Bracer Enchant: Bordure de fourrure - Endurance > Ench. de brassards (Endurance majeure). Forge can also attach Châsse de brassard to their wrists.

Hands for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Garde-mains de revitalisation are significantly better statted than any of the other gloves, though most of that is afforded through its major leap in iLevel, the stat spread itself is not extraordinary and in this case, the addition of an extra gem slot makes this weaker than it otherwise would be. Despite all that, it's got a fairly huge leg up on its competitors in tankyness.

Gantelets du guet royal is a well balanced set of gloves with a very efficient budget, it doesn't waste any of it on parry or otherwise expensive stats. The hit might be overkill for some though there are no real alternative gloves if you aren't doing hardmode. However perhaps best of all is that it's purchaseable for Emblème de conquête, meaning there is no competition or unnecessary waiting for these.

Garde-mains de l'égide de conquérant, Garde-mains de l'égide valeureux, and Garde-mains de l'enclave are all leaning a bit too heavily into their SBV to pick them up and while there's nothing wrong with block value in phase 2, there's just too much magic damage to rely on this situational mitigation.

Gantelets de la fournaise de fer is just a weird item, you might pick these up if you don't have anything else, they compete with Garde-mains de rédemption valeureuse but both of them are obsolete by the time you step your foot into Ulduar.

We don't recommend that you pick Ench. de gants (Précision) or Ench. de gants (Expertise) as an offensive glove enchant, it's almost always better to go with Ench. de gants (Homme d'armes).

Recommended BiS Glove Enchant Sangles d'armure réticulées > Ench. de gants (Homme d'armes). If you have Forge you can also attach Châsse de gants to your gloves.

Waist for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Ceinturon indestructible en plaques sits unique in the belt slot for phase 2 as the only belt with a focus on high meaningful avoidance, compared to the alternatives this is the tankiest option. While worse in threat and DPS than most other counterparts on this list it does have high strength from which it draws considerable offensive power from. Being a crafted BoE makes this highly accessible and may lighten the load on your raid, and provide you with a solid guaranteed item

Ceinturon garde-écu is the clear tanking belt for when you need to hit cap, it's a straight linear upgrade from Ceinturon à la trempe orageuse. Ceinture de la rage colossale is a DPS belt, we try and avoid taking gear like this though it's warranted a mention since it being a 252 iLevel item, has an above the norm item budget, putting this on par or ahead in EHP with actual tanking belts.

Corset de tueur de dragon is a consolation prize if you never get any of the above belts, though seeing how accessible they are you'll likely never use this in Phase 2. However keep this in your bank, it may be relevant to you in phase 3.

Boucle de ceinture éternelle is a universal item enhancement for your belt. Those with Ingénierie also get access to a Ceinture à fragmentation.

Legs for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Cuissards du vide infini unsurprisingly sits as the highest value legs that you can acquire in phase 2. Besides the huge iLevel upgrade over the alternatives the additional socket and emphasis on high value avoidance put these ahead.

Garde-jambes de l'égide de conquérant is advantageous over Garde-jambes cuirassés en saronite, while the latter have similar EHP to Cuissards du vide infini the tier legs gives you additional access to the set bonus, as well as an overall more balanced item.

Cuissards en acier doré are very advantageous in that they come from 10-man and give a solid middle ground between first and second best options in this slot. In some respects this is even better than Garde-jambes de l'égide de conquérant assuming you don't get 2 or 4-piece set bonus through your legs.

Recommended BiS Leg Armor: Armure de jambe givrepeau otherwise if you have Travail du cuir you can make Renforts de jambe du jormungar.

Feet for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Grèves de l'armée de fer is a hefty piece, while a little lacking in strong avoidance it offers a substantial addition of expertise and pulls ahead in EHP over its counterparts. It's from a hardmode which means you may not see these for a while, though when you do get them they are easy to slot into most sets.

Dispensateurs de mort à pointes being a BoE crafted makes these quite lucrative, allowing you to bypass all RNG to get these ASAP. On top of that, they're very strong and are competitive with any of the boots that we can get in phase 2.

Grèves carbonisées en saronite stands as your prime hit option in your feet slot, however since we are not short on strong hit alternatives already these mostly serve the purpose of giving you a diversity of option while still gearing.

Grèves du garde-pierre are really high in SBV and doesn't offer much else, kind of a stepping stone item that you can wear while still acquiring other pieces, this does have good anti physical properties.

Recommended BiS Feet Enchant: The unique properties of Nitro-survolteurs lends itself extremely well to tanks, and it's recommended to keep multiple sets of boots with this and Ench. de bottes (Robustesse supérieure). If you don't have Ingénierie, Ench. de bottes (Robustesse supérieure) stands as the best option with the exception of Ench. de bottes (Vitalité rohart) when you're not specced into Poursuite de la justice.

Jewelry for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Neck for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Neck for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 1
Pendentif de Vane en bronze has the most stamina and a socket, it's anemic for a 252 item but still the best neck around.

Pendentif de la pierre des titans and Eclat de la forêt de cristal are effectively the same item, just exp or hit.

Rings for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Caresse du destin is a really strong ring, that's also readily obtainable by most teams. The iLevel inflation and the sort of stats you're getting with this means that you're unlikely to ever unequip it.

L'anneau du léviathan is a solid jack of all trades ring that while lacking the explicit direction of some other rings this is easily slotted for most sets.

Bague des Ases en platine pairs really well with Caresse du destin for a high expertise setup.

Sceau d'Ulduar is just a better version of Chevalière de l'hiver and neither of these have any defense, making them more difficult to equip, especially during your gearing process. Sceau d'Ulduar is solid however as it presents you with the 2nd highest EHP out of any tanking ring in phase 2.

Sceau du roi trahi bears mentioning though we don't expect any protection paladin to actually need or acquire this for quite some time, though with the right setup this is a very powerful threat slot in, however you do not need this at any point in phase 2.

Recommended BiS Ring Enchant: Ench. d'anneau (Endurance) - Only Enchanters may apply Ring Enchants on their own rings.

Trinkets for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Not much changes in phase 2. Cœur de fer and Sceau royal du roi Llane are practically linear upgrades from phase 1 and what was strong then is still functional now. Generally you pick and choose trinkets based on the occasion, every trinket has extraordinary use when applied correctly. If you're unsure, stamina & armor trinkets are very strong.

Pierre de la fournaise is perhaps the most interesting, with a weak passive but potentially wicked on-use this is very similar to the beloved Insigne d'Ombrelune from TBC in both form and function against physical attacks.

Weapons and Offhands for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Caresse de la démence is the highest performing weapon in Phase 2 for us in a vacuum, however since it is so highly contested and only narrowly superior to the alternatives we recommend that you focus efforts on Serilas, Lame-sang d'Invar le Manchot.

The alternative is that if you rolled a you will have access to Spécialisation Masse, making all of the good mace alternatives equal to Serilas, Lame-sang d'Invar le Manchot. In turn giving you a higher degree of choice and less competition for your weapon upgrades. For dwarves we recommend that you get Vulmir, la tempête nordique so that you can pass on the swords for potential DPS or other tanks, at least initially as this will really help out your raids gearing process.

Assomoir du gladiateur furieux and other PvP weapons are special in that it will require a massive PvP investment from you to acquire. These are slated to require 2200 Rating to purchase, which we don't consider to be all too realistic for the majority of players out there. However if you are going to get this, know that the real utility of the weapon (beside having a weapon and not competing for a PvE drop) is that the additional resilience on this, will come crucial if you want to wear more than 2 OS/DPS pieces such as belt & ring later down the line.

Lastly Sorthalis, le marteau des Guetteurs or Frisson bears mention, they're both hardmode weapons and are strictly worse than most options from Ulduar, fast weapons with parry are unfortunately just way too weak compared to slow weapons with agility. The only real saving grace of this is that they have a significant stamina pool and it's less contested than Le dernier sourire was last phase, however note that some DPS might still want these as a middle of the road upgrade to their BiS though much less likely to be contested.

Recommended BiS Weapon Enchants: Enchantement d'arme (Drain de sang) = Ench. d'arme (Précision) > Ench. d'arme (Mangouste) > Dragonne en titane

Shields for Protection Paladin Tank Phase 2

Both Rempart d'Algalon and La Garde boréale are roughly of equal performance and both are unfortunately locked behind high demand content. We recommend that you don't fret over your shield too much, Barrière nordique is a solid option for those with few prospects to farm hardmode encounters.

Otherwise 10-man Naxxramas (as well as 25man) and 10-man Ulduar will give you access to a myriad of functional shields if you're still in the need to catch up or prepare for phase 2.

Recommended BiS Shield Enchants: Plaque en titane or Ench. de bouclier (Endurance majeure)

Why Seal of the Pure (3/5 +9% Seal of Vengenance damage) over Crusade (3/3 +3% damage)?

I looked at Warcraft Logs on my patchwerk kill, reduced all damage sources by 6% (to remove the +6% damage from crusade versus undead) and then compared the two talents, and Crusade had a slight advantage (about an extra 1% damage done). Crusade also works with Seal of Command for Add fights and trash.

Commentaire de chpicker

You show Helm of the Faceless dropping from hard mode Mimiron 25. It actually drops from normal mode General Vezax 25.

Commentaire de Brighthammer

Appears to be a mistake in the gloves socket where a blue gem is used to a red slot whereas a purple gem is used in the belt buckle which could go in gloves to get socket bonus.

Commentaire de Thetjco

Could you please help me understand why a slow weapon is increasing the dps of a prot paladin. I can't find any ability which is scaling with weapon dmg and not weapon dps. even the seals are affected percentage wise and therefore scale with the speed.

Commentaire de Criaree

At what point should we be swapping from tier7 to tier8? Two items, or all four?

Commentaire de Kloda

Is Blood Draining really worth it over mongoose or berserking as an option if you don't need accuracy? I've tried it but on most fights it's pretty much useless because you rarely fall under 35% and even on Algalon, what one would assume to be the best fight for it, it only pulls like 10k healing at best over the course of an entire encounter, it's a pretty crappy enchant.

Commentaire de DigitalDecaf

Hello! Thanks for your guides! I've been Prot Pally main tanking for all of wrath, almost BiS now, and I'm wondering why your balanced set has so much expertise? I know legplates of endless void are very strong so that would break the 4 piece, but objectively the Tier chest is still better mitigation than breastplate of the timeless if you are already at soft Expertise cap. We get so much expertise that I was able to drop the vengeance glyph even without breastplate of the timeless, which I do have but am not currently using. I know that expertise above the soft cap does still help with parries, but I look at my meters and I have 2-5 parries out of 150+ in a whole boss fight for my melee attacks (similar for other skills that can be parried) and so I find myself asking is it worth losing a defensive stat that is on the tier piece. And you also have some expertise gemmed. Even in the EHP set you have 44 expertise and 3% hit, which is easily fixed too while losing almost no effective mitigation. Just genuinely curious about the thoughts because I'm always trying to improve my understanding of tanking, thanks!

Commentaire de RedACE

Titanskin Cloak has a socket that isn't listed in the "Back" section

Between your Balanced and EHP sets, you have the same items with different gems. Would you consider reworking these sets so the same gems are used in identical items?

Commentaire de Lolkeks

Could i suggest adding the Brewfest tank trinkets - they both have 170stam and are 2 different trinks so you can use both.
